Reading this makes me appreciate Rivers even more. But also makes me upset that the team over the years never did a good job of surrounding him with better coaching and OL talent (like the Saints did with Brees). Hopefully Lynn is the one and Lamp actually lives up to his potential.
To be clear, this is not a ranking of the quarterbacks. These are the ones who are best set up for success.
So today, we look at which quarterbacks are best set up for success. Things to consider: offensive lines, receiving weapons, efficient running games and coaching.
To be clear, this is not a ranking of the quarterbacks. There are some great quarterbacks down the list. That just means they have to do more to lift their teams.
At the top are the quarterbacks who are best set up for success.3. Drew Brees, Saints -- The combination of Sean Payton and Brees is a lock to produce an efficient passing offense every year. Last year, the Saints gave up a sack or QB hit on 13.7 percent of their pass plays, the second-lowest mark in the league. Going into 2019, they again boast one of the league's top offensive lines. Brees is surrounded by a pair of elite playmakers in Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas. Kamara ranked fifth last year with 1,592 yards from scrimmage. Thomas became the first player in NFL history to amass at least 1,400 yards receiving while catching at least 80 percent of his targets. With a healthier Ted Ginn and the addition of TE Jared Cook, Brees is in tremendous position to succeed.16. Philip Rivers, Chargers -- The big concern is whether they can find answers on the offensive line before Week 1. Rivers was sacked or hit on 21.6 percent of his dropbacks last year, which ranked 19th. If that percentage goes up in 2019, the Chargers could be in trouble. Despite losing Tyrell Williams, Rivers still has a good group of pass-catchers to work with. Keenan Allen is their number one receiver, and Mike Williams made strides in his second season; 83.7 percent of his catches went for first downs -- tops in the NFL. Their running backs are effective receivers too, and tight end Hunter Henry returns from injury.
