"weak-armed quarterback"

lol
weak armed QB that finished his career as the #1 NCAA record holder

7/20/2006 8:13:57 PM

he didn't get that for throwing long bombs into the endzone

he was just made the plays jay davis screwed up look perfect

7/20/2006 8:40:29 PM

rivers coin-filpped a lot of touchdowns

7/20/2006 8:54:26 PM

^^ exactly ... lol people act like we went to the swing pass after philip rivers left.

7/20/2006 9:05:34 PM

once again, another god damn epsn sportswriter that doesn't know shit about football and much less his head from his ass

7/20/2006 9:07:57 PM

Rivers had a lot stronger arm than most people give him credit for.

He's no Favre, but it's not so weak he's going to be the next Danny Wuerffel

7/20/2006 9:10:05 PM

he will do just fine

7/20/2006 9:12:05 PM

i remember seeing PRiv getting air plenty of times

7/20/2006 9:30:50 PM

whitlock writes hilarious articles...he's 1 of my favorites for his sarcasm, not his accuracy.

i dont think he takes it seriously anyways


besides, he picks the ravens lol

7/20/2006 9:38:06 PM

^^yes, but that's not how he got the record...

7/20/2006 9:39:27 PM

lol @ weak arm and receivers clogging running lanes.

wow.

7/21/2006 12:46:35 AM

kinda irrelevant but

I just watched all of the sidebar video clips on espn's nfl home page, and I've dishoned them as a credible sports information source.

7/21/2006 1:00:51 AM

dishoned?


you

7/21/2006 1:03:27 AM

he talks about Chad Johnson alot in his article. Will someone fill me in about that? I haven't heard anything negative about Johnson.

"Phillip Rivers is going to bomb in San Diego."

the dude didn't even spell Philip's name right. i guess he didn't have acces to a computer to do at least a tad bit of research, oh wait...

7/21/2006 3:13:13 AM

I guess he hadn't seen his name on any stat sheets

7/21/2006 3:37:41 AM

^^^^ yes, dishoned

we now have our own Michael Vick on the Saints

the media hype is already so gratuitous, that actual fans won't be able to justify any shortcomings while casual fans who don't know shit will trot out lines of excuses as to why he didn't do well, making the rest of us look bad

this has potential to be a very ungood situation

7/21/2006 5:24:15 AM

oh and didn't Timmy Chang pass Rivers for all-time yardage?

[Edited on July 21, 2006 at 5:25 AM. Reason : .]

7/21/2006 5:40:48 AM

well... technically he finished his career #2, Chang passed him either the next year or the year after... and taht was just because ofa throw-happy Hawaii systm...

he did finish as A ncaa record holder, it was just the record for most consecutive games started...

7/21/2006 9:02:56 AM

i think that was the next year.

7/21/2006 9:04:59 AM

i think the guy justifies his stupidity further along in the article by saying harrington will beat out culpepper by midseason and by picking the ravens to win the superbowl.


the guys a fucking idiot.

i can't believe he actually lists this as a reason for picking them to win the sb.

Watch out for Texas Tech's new QB. The guy has three years of eligibility and apparently was a bad ass high school QB. They said he was 26-28 in the spring game so he knows the offense already. Plus knowing that every TT QB gets 5000+ yds a year, he'll have a good shot to top Chang.

7/21/2006 3:14:27 PM

remember the TT/State game a few years back? that was a good one.

7/21/2006 3:18:29 PM

Dan Le Betard just said on the Sports Reporters that from what he's seen from Philip Rivers that he thinks he can be right up there with Peyton Manning and Carson Palmer when its all said and done.

10/15/2006 10:23:07 AM

i'm sure we all know espn isn't the most credible news source ever. take for example it's front page attempts at helping a shitty punk band make it big:

Quote :

"The song's title "encompasses all the chain of events and the decisions made, the avenues took, splitting up," Jacobson says. "If you really think about it, converging elements … it was suicide. Combat suicide." "

i didnt read any more of the article, but i'm sure there are better quotes than this.

He made some stupid comments in this but he did get a couple of things exactly right:

Quote :

"Joey Harrington is going to beat out Daunte Culpepper by midseason."

and

Quote :

"Ben Roethlisberger's motorcycle accident will negatively impact his performance this season. "

10/15/2006 12:38:28 PM

I can't stand Leba 'tard when he does PTI, he has the whiniest and most annoying voice I have ever heard.
