or even worse, the ones who are like "I've never even tried marijuana, but everything I learned in D.A.R.E. class from other people who never used drugs must be true!"

"5. Philip Rivers, San Diego: Due to circumstances beyond his control, Rivers won't begin his stint as the Chargers' starting quarterback on a level playing field. Whether he or anyone else admits it or not, he'll be competing with Brees, his highly successful predecessor who led the Chargers to a 21-11 record and a division title in the last two seasons. While Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger have been front and center almost since the 2004 draft, Rivers has been the forgotten man. We know virtually nothing more about him now than we did when he came out of North Carolina State with that slightly funky throwing motion, inspiring some to predict that in time he'd be the most accomplished of the three big QB prospects. The pluses are obvious: Cam Cameron is a quality offensive coordinator, and Rivers has a pretty good team around him. Talents like running back LaDainian Tomlinson and tight end Antonio Gates will make any young quarterback look a little better. But there's a downside to that as well, in that the Chargers are primed to win now but have a quarterback who must go through the position's typical two- or three-year learning curve. Can San Diego win with Rivers taking baby steps? Probably. But if the Chargers don't win big and Rivers struggles through his share of growing pains, the specter of what Brees might have done had he remained in San Diego will be inescapable for both Rivers and the Chargers franchise."

yeah, I'm glad to see the something good is coming out of nc state with recent events.

Hodge got shot.

Rivers will probably get Joe Theisman-ed in the preseason.
