He was good, not in the elite category of QBs but was probably a slight level above some other QBs that didn't accomplish as much as he did such as Stafford. Rebound this season, but was clear it was time for him to retire

A lot of hate for Rivers on here.

Yeah he was the only ringless QB in one of the best QB drafts where the other guys have 2 super bowl rings. But he definitely held his own, and was a Top 5-10ish Qb for a good amount of his career.

He very could well make the HOF since he along with other QBs of that era were beneficiaries of the NFL becoming Pass league... and having one of the best and versatile RunningBacks of all time as well.

I fukked with him at NCSU and thought for sure he would be a starter in the league. He exceeded my expectations and yeah he wasn’t clutch and doesnt have hardware but he’s far from a bum QB or some of y’all making him out to be.


It's not hate.

Just making it clear that he is absolutely not a HOF QB.:yeshrug:.

:ohhh: Didn't even think about that.

One of the many stat stuffers from this generation that will get elevated by era and durability. Dude got the longest leash ever. All those years in SD and not so much as a SB appearance. Can't use the low expectations excuse either...he was drafted #4 overall, traded for the #1 pick and they dropped Brees for him. Had a stacked team in the beginning there too. Got away with being a supreme trash talker as well. Then topped it all off by taking Jacoby's job after he did a serviceable job last year. Not a fan, in case that wasn't apparent :pachaha:
