Rivers Looks Like His Old Self

[Fleet]

I really hope he ends up retiring a Bolt. Hes as efficient as it gets when hes playing like this.

[MassGeneralBolt]

Better than his old self IMO . This offense is perfectly suited to Rivers intelligence, quick release and giving him the ability to dictate to the defense depending on what the defense shows. This offense is so light years ahead of Norvs outdated 90s 7 step drop offense , just wish this type of change was done 3 years ago , can't tell people how happy I am both AJ and Norv out of here , it's like we've finally approached what Brady, Peyton have been doing for lady several years

I don't think he's ever looked better personally. He's carving up D's. This is his 2nd 400 yard day already.

[RollingThunder]

Yup, Rivers was never given an opportunity with Norv to be this efficient.

[Antonio's Gates]

yeah i agree that he looks better than his old self. norv never took advantage of rivers biggest strength; his brain.

Im happy for him. He's taken a beating the past 2 seasons. He looks really great out there. Biggest change I see is he's keeping his eyes downfield and not reacting to the rush and moving very well in the pocket.

Agreed, he does look better. I'm ready to eat crow on how I felt at the start of the season and specifically after the Houston game.

Hope it's not too late to build another contentor around him.

Also...I know this is greatly premature...but should we worry if we lose Whiz to a HCing job at the end of this season?

Over his past three games, Rivers is an absurd 91-for-113 (80.5 percent).

[Guy Lombardo]

If he's stays healthy, with this offense I don't see why he can't play until he's 38 or older like Manning and Warner.

I'm getting tired of MGB's constant optimism. Mods, please limit his posts.

Caswell: After a 3 TD, 401 yard performance, Philip Rivers is back on the field throwing footballs to his son

It ain't Whizenhunt. I saw how he called plays with the Cardinals and it was pretty much like Norv.

McCoy is the man with the plan.

I think our play calling got too pussy last week. And I thought we should have gone for a 2-point conversion to tie it today. But what McCoy, or whoever, has done with the offensive line has been fucking genius. I have no idea how this is working.

I wish he could work the same magic with the defense.
