POLL: Is It Time To Bench Rivers?

[Caslon]

It means the coaching staff is trying to win games this year and has said multiple times that they will not spend snaps on developing young players. Whether this is a good or bad strategy given where we are is a debatable point.

Stick? “We think Easton has some qualities we would like to develop with and have for a longer period of time to work with him,” Lynn said. (draft day).

HUH? So...rather than bring an O-iineman along with the 5th pick, TT chose to go with a future QB who they will take their time with.
So...that means next pre-season, he will split time with Tyrod Taylor as backups as he is brought along slowly.

I personally think Brady is the GOAT, but it is definitely a team game. He has had the luxury of playing under the best coach in league history and surrounded by clutch players. If the Patriots had Nate Kaeding instead of Adam Vinatieri, they probably have 3 less rings. Give the Chargers Vinatieri instead of Kaeding and we might have one or two.

Don't 4get the "HOLY ROLLER"

Chargers will have plenty of chances to draft a QB high after Rivers leaves.

I've always hated that the GOAT conversation started with Super Bowls. Brady didn't win those Super Bowls, the Patriots did. Yes, he as a QB is a very big part of that, but all but 1 super bowl team(2011) featured a top 10 defense. 5 of them were top 5 defenses. Super Bowl victories are a team win. You put Brady on any other team is he still going to 9? And also, if you put Rivers, Manning, Rodgers, or Brees on the Patriots in that same time frame, do they still have the same amount of super bowl appearances? Or do they now have more because they are on a team with great ownership and coaching?

Not denying Brady isn't great, and not one of the top of all time. But I guess I've just never liked the whole GOAT discussion being centered around super bowl victories, when not every QB has had a top 10 defense that many years of their career.

Brady is in the conversation for the GOAT. He has won multiple Super Bowls. He gets the benefit of the doubt

What would be a good team for Rivers? Just for general discussion.

Before They fired Rivera, I would say Carolina. But Rams might be best fit. Rams could send QB back to Philadelphia. But Denver could also be an option, or Raiders with all the extra picks could turn out to be good next year. TBA, I don’t think Rivers would go to either.

Now I’m more on the side he will retire, to many bad luck injuries to key players and just bad coaches.

Their #1 draft pick with Lynn as HC and an unknown OC? It's not gonna be a QB. Trust me. It was weird this team didn't even try Stick at QB for the entire 4th quarter of last weeks game. They instead went with Tyrod Taylor as if to say..."he's our #2 backup nothing at QB". Where does that leave that stupid pick Stick?
Should have picked an O-lineman that someday becomes a Pro Bowler like Queensbury will be.

Did the chargers go 12-4 last year with a healthy OL? Rivers is better the Manning the year he won his Super Bowel.

resigning Rivers is not up to Chargers, it up to Rivers. He can play on a very good team next year if he wants to.

Colts except they're paying Brissett now.

Titans except they're happy with Tannehill now.
