    He has one of the highest QB ratings ever. He's in the top 5.

    All QBs make mistakes. I don't know what mistakes he makes that other QBs don't but at the same time I don't think you know either considering that isn't true.

    He forces a lot of throws and turns the ball over plenty. Could really care less about QBRs. I'm not big on the "elite" label either but there's certainly another class above Rivers.

    Rodgers
    Brees
    Brady
    Manning

    Are clearly a cut above the rest. Then there's still another 4-5 guys who are currently better, imo.

    Well I don't agree with that. He's on that list, IMO. So is Big Ben.

    Rivers is like oragami, folds under pressure.

    Those other guys can all perform in big games. Haven't seen that from Rivers. He's more known for crying.

    I don't agree with that either. I've seen him perform well under pressure and in situations were non-elite QBs haven't performed well.

    LOL. So what, we just ignore the other 6 seasons where he had the highest QB rating ever?

    It's pretty obvious we disagree. I think he is elite. You do not. Agree to disagree.

    And what'd the Chargers win in those 6 years? Like 3 playoff games? Like I said, QBR just does not mean all that much.

    Rivers just hasn't done enough and started looking worse the last 2-3 years while everyone was expecting him to go to that next level, imo. But sure agree to disagree.

    Really Doc?.. I may be in the minority but I'm one that doesn't see that and doesn't want that.

    Not gonna go there, too tired..

    Don't want no Romo either..

    It's a tough one about who Tannehill reminds me of..I would say from the pocket the ball comes off the hand like a Kurt Warner, athletically speaking and outside the pocket by design?, nobody, when it comes to scrambling, well, the dude loves the pocket, but I hope one day that the Rothlesberger/Luck gene will come out.

    bottom line about Rivers, IMO, the dude doesn't have enough strength or flexibility to get the ball outside the numbers or down the field unless the pocket is really clean, so when good defenses start to close on him and constrict his pocket, and pressure increases, his ability to threaten every part of the field diminishes.

    Keen accuracy, tall in the pocket, I like that our boy has the other dimension if needed.
