Matthew Stafford for Phillip Rivers Straight Up??????

[DetroitEWarren]

Since it seems like both teams are ready to part ways, how does people on both sides feel about this?

I think Rivers contract is up after this season so I don't know how that could work, but I think he would be a great fit for the current offense of the Lions.

Rivers is clearly better than Stafford, not sure why Chargers would do this

Rivers got a contract extension 3 months ago, he's not going anywhere.

Edit: Plus he has a NTC

Philip Rivers' extension includes no-trade clause - NFL.com

Nope, Rivers is a decent qb. The lions would have to throw in a draft pick or 2 but they have bigger issues than qb on both sides.

Always liked Rivers, had he been drafted by the Giants he'd have 2-3 rings also

Yep
Qbs last as long as kickers now
