    POLL: OKAY, after that ugly Vike Fiasco, NOW is it time to bench Rivers?

    Rivers is done. Been saying it for weeks. And no, I don't enjoy seeing this team do another epic fail. Want to see them succeed. But no, once again, Rivers pretty much singlehandedly handed this game to the Vikes. We were driving, heading towards a FG and halftime lead. But no. Rivers blows it. All those picks. A fumble six. Then, Gordon coughs up the rock a couple of times. This team is pathetic. Might as well activate Stick next week and see what we've got. Who knows? Maybe we don't have to draft a QB. But we sure need to draft O-line, that's for sure.

      Is there anyone else in the “A lot of Rivers INTs weren’t his fault because he got no time plus receivers fell down but at the same time, Rivers hasn’t looked on many plays when he did get playing time and he has lost significant arm strength” boat?

      Right now it seems like Chargers fans everywhere (not just here but on Reddit & other forums as well) are all either blaming the OL for Rivers play or their crucifying Rivers for everything. It’s one or the other for most fans but that’s not reality.

      Rivers isn’t the reason the Chargers suck but yes, it’s time to go in a different direction after this season. He’s still had an amazing career and played well till age 37 which is an impressive feat on its own.
      Tom Telesco’s Results in 9 years as Chargers GM:

      - 69-74 record
      - 0 division titles in 9 yrs as GM
      - Worst record among all active GMs with same tenure
      - 6th worst winning percentage among all active GMs overall
      - 2 playoff wins despite elite QB all 9 yrs
      - Team still has the same weaknesses (Oline and run defense) that it had when hired as GM in 2013
      - Consistently puts together horrible depth, expects starters to never miss games

        after this season, the offense needs to be blown up.

        Defense is ok. Needs a NT bad tho

                We have about a dozen of these time to move on from Rivers threads. And dozens of dozens of other posts about it in every thread.
