Yeah, I'd love to know how many HOF QBs there are who have never even played in a Super Bowl. Rivers has longevity with a team going for him, but beyond that he's really just another mediocre QB.

EDIT: There are actually quite a few, so who knows? Maybe he'll make it in.

That was my first thought as well.

If only they had a head coach that didnt routinely get clown-shoes put on him by opposing head coaches.

I think they have a great roster, potentially even better than KC--but until they actually beat the Chiefs, people need to shut the **** up about them being the favorites.

They've lost the last EIGHT times. They blew a massive lead against them. Got whooped last September and then no-showed in a division championship game (essentially) last December.

Not to mention, Andy >>> Lynn.

I agree with all of that except the bold. He’s averaged under 4 YPC in both of his first two seasons. He’s been average at best.

They are now in a major media market, so the media is hyping them

It's interesting to me that all the talk was about how the Chiefs couldn't win anything of note with Alex and the others in the division were better, yet now that they've moved away from alex he's actually used as an excuse as to why they'll under achieve.

L.A.


It's the only reason, especially since the RAM's are going to come crashing down........

I'm really happy that we play them week 1. That game is going to be big time.

With little to no tape out there on our offense, will they game plan properly to stop KC? What kind of boxes will Mahomes face? Will they single cover Watkins all game? Etc. etc.

Rivers is 9th all time in passing yards, one in front of Warren Moon (HOF) and a few spots behind Dan Marino (HOF), neither played in a SB.

On the flip side, he's not too far ahead of Carson Palmer (12), Vinny Testaverde (13), Drew Bledsoe (14), and Kerry Collins (17).

9th all time is not HoF type numbers. HoF numbers are generally record breaking type numbers at their time.

At no point has Rivers ever been in that category. Warren Moon was crushing NFL records in his time.

"In 1990, Moon led the league with 4,689 passing yards. He also led the league in attempts (584), completions (362), and touchdowns (33), and tied Dan Marino's record with nine 300-yard games in a season. That included throwing for 527 yards against Kansas City on December 16, 1990, the second-most passing yards ever in a single game.[15] The following year, he again led the league in passing yards, with 4,690. At the same time, he joined Marino and Dan Fouts as the only quarterbacks to post back-to-back 4,000-yard seasons. Moon also established new NFL records that season with 655 attempts and 404 completions."

Well they can’t leave Tyreek in single coverage. We know that much..

Notice that play was what Pat ran in week 17 with 5 wide. How will teams stop that? LMAO

As one analyst once put it:

"What was Philip Rivers' defining, HOF moment?"

...pssst....he doesn't have one.

After Carr's injury last year Rivers is the only proven QB in the division.

If its even possible, this offense is going to wear us out with deep balls I think. And they should, because most teams just don't have the dudes to match up.

Gonna see a LOT of zone coverages.
