Will Phillip Rivers Ever See The New Stadium Next Year?

[Boltjolt]

First reading the headline tag I was thinking of course Philip is coming back, it's my gut feeling that he loves the game so much and is doing so well, that he will play as long as Brady and Brees (and coach his kid on Fridays) but then I didn't consider the Chargers might not resign him to save a ton of money and it had me thinking about when the rumors were to get Mariotta. I could see TT going with Easton Stick as his Carson Wentz but I hope they remember that Rivers was 12-4 last year (should of been 13-3 due to the Broncos game) and you just don't find players like Rivers out there. I hope we get him back.

Lol, only problem with that is Stick was terrible half the time against 3rd stringers.

Without a really viable backup I think the team signs him for a 1 year extension and goes from there. Gives both Rivers and the team time to decide if they want to go any longer past that.

no need for an extension, they can franchise tag him

I wouldn't be so sure that Rivers won't leave SoCal. He's out here all the time in the off season, maintains a house in Decatur and his family is out here and its closer to her family. He may not play for the Titans, but I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up out here. High school football is huge out here and if he wanted one of his boys to get exposure and play top level talent he'll come back.

Yeah I don't think people realize that the drive from Decatur to Nashville, TN (where the Titans stadium is located) is actually less than the drive from San Diego to Carson that Rivers is currently making.

It can't be dismissed altogether especially considering the Titans need for a QB as well.

It's 253 miles from Decatur to Nashville according to Google Maps. Of course, with that LA traffic....

I guess some don't know how far Carson is from SD.

According to Google Maps, it is 113 miles!

Looks a lot less than Decatur to Nashville

Rivers actually lives North of San Diego and the practice facility is South of Los Angeles, only 72 mile difference a little over an hour drive and he has a driver.

240 miles is actually a 4 hour drive, that would have to be Kobe Helicopter time.

I guess some should do their own research before trying to make smart remarks.

It's definitely only 117 miles from Decatur, Alabama to Nashville, Tennessee. So when accounting for LA traffic, obviously it's a shorter drive.

Not sure what you were looking at.

North of SD to South of LA is not LA traffic. 72 miles a lot of times = 72 minutes vs 117 miles = 117 minutes
