POLL: Is It Time To Bench Rivers?

[PMR9FAN]

No player is allowed to go out on their own terms if they are costing their team wins by continuing to play. The decision to bench any player rests with the coaching staff.

True but you will face the wrath of the football gods if you don’t let Rivers go out on his terms. Took the Rams a decade to recover from cutting Warner.

Hve we recovered from LT or Seau?

Bottom line: No matter how good Riverboat Rivers does at times, his Gamblin' Gunslinger ways are losing us games. A lot of games. Sorry, bench him. Next man up. Accountability. Leadership. Wisdom. All three traits, unfortunately sorely lacking in PR at the most critical times...

He showed all that in the first game vs Indy.

Rams went 13 years without having a winning season and their demise started when they cut Warner. The curse was lifted the year Kurt was inducted into the HOF. Coincidence? I think not.

At least 2 out of the last 3 seasons will be above .500 and 3/3 if we can get on a roll. That’s not where we want to be but it’s not horrible either.

Fire Rivers and horrible will happen. You can count on it.

maybe we're being punished for releasing Brees?

No, that’s not the way the curse works. The one terminated needs to have been the face of the franchise for several years.

You're right. I was speaking in absolute terms, and that's something I try to avoid.

There’s a lot of fear going on and not sure why.

I find this thread humorous as more than half the teams in the league would insert Rivers as their starter day 1. I understand we have a fed up Rivers/Chargers fan posting this but it's ridiculous. It's like saying Tyrod Taylor is better than 20 plus some starters in the league.

These are the teams that definitely wouldn’t

01. Patriots
02. Baltimore
03. Texans
04. Chiefs
05. Seahawks
06. 49ers
07. Rams
08. Packers
09. Lions
10. Vikings
11. Saints
12. Falcons
13. Panthers
14. Cowboys
15. Eagles

These teams are also doubtful

16. Raiders
17. Browns
18. Steelers
19. Cardinals

These teams might wanna stick with their guy but are probably 50-50

20. Bills
21. Jets
22. Giants
23. Jags

Which leaves

24. Dolphins
25. Bengals
26. Colts
27. Titans
28. Broncos
29. Redskins
30. Bears
31. Bucs
