he should def be the mvp... but he won't bc his team sucks

hopefully they can win next week and make some noise in the playoffs

Go Panthers!

Jaws just said that he thinks Rivers is having a 'mvp-caliber season' b/c he's carried the team (no running game or defense). Again, out-dated measures of qb success (zomg, his team can only be 8-8, fuck his mvp chances!@!) will assure he won't sniff the mvp (as opposed to Matt Ryan, a whopping 15-9 td:int ratio w/ one of the best rbs in the league)

How long until sports writers bother to watch more than 2-3 games a week & actually give a look to stats?

^^, ^^^

Rivers blew his shot at MVP with game-losing turnovers against Buffalo and New Orleans. He also played like shit against Pittsburgh, although most QB's do. He has redeemed himself with clutch play against KC and a flawless game against Tampa, but Peyton Manning has been better and more clutch down the stretch.

Rivers has established himself as a top QB in the league. Alccolades will come with time. If they can get to the playoffs and make some noise, his Pro-bowl snub will be all the more glaring. They'll play Indy if they win Sunday, and he'll have a chance to bounce the favored Colts from the playoffs for the 2nd consecutive season.

"Pennington received 19 votes, 13 more than quarterbacks Kerry Collins of Tennessee and Jake Delhomme of Carolina. Another quarterback, Arizona's Kurt Warner, received four votes, as did his teammate, wide receiver Anquan Boldin. So did Tampa Bay wideout Antonio Bryant. Two of Pennington's teammates also received votes: linebacker Joey Porter (3) and running back Ronnie Brown (1). Also with one vote were San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers, Pittsburgh safety Ryan Clark and Baltimore tackle Willie Anderson. "

Why does ESPN continue to perpetuate this image of Rivers? Every time they talk about rivers, they show the clip of him waving bye to cutler.


Whenever they talk about Haynesworth being a great defensive player, they don't show the clip of him stomping on a lineman's head.

1/2/2009 12:32:10 PM

Its because he isn't like any other QB in the league, with the exception of Favre, Philip plays with the fire and joy of a kid. Unfortunately Brett is still around so Philip is regarded as a freak show, also Philip isn't a diabetic so they can't feel sorry for him like they do with Cutler.

Plus ESPN only hypes one person on West Coast teams and his teams hype player is LT2

1/2/2009 12:47:47 PM

^ wow, what a freak.

1/2/2009 1:58:53 PM

Actually Delhomme is also similar to Rivers, except with less talent and more cursing.

Yet that's never a big story like it is with Rivers.

1/2/2009 2:14:13 PM

its a big story locally...the only thing national about delhomme is when berman calls him daylight come and me want to delhomme

nothing to get over... I was expecting the Chargers to win

1/4/2009 1:17:40 AM

He managed the game.

He took what the Colts gave him. He made one mistake.

Manning made as many mistakes at Rivers did, its just that the Chargers secondary can't catch.

^^ um, no. And if the Colts had won it wouldnt have been "Manning beat Rivers"

1/4/2009 1:19:19 AM

without that fluke TD during that defensive substitution... manning didn't play any better than rivers.

58% 238 0 0

56% 217 0 1

and Rivers made some clutch throws at the end of the game when it counted. helped put SD in a position to win along with sproles.


Chargers won.. hence the checkmate.

1/4/2009 1:20:37 AM

^^ god dammit. I am not getting into this... go back and read the thread going on during the game... for the most part everyone on there was being logical and Rivers wasnt the reason they won, it was much more Sproles and Scifers. "Rivers helped keep 2 pro bowl QBs out of the playoffs.... now he can knock the NFL MVP out of the playoffs"

^ not at all.

v - nope, so thats why I said that P. Riv was the best college QB I have ever seen? and that TA was maybe the most impressive freshman I had ever seen?

get over it. manning is out of the playoffs once again. he didn't get the job done.

1/4/2009 1:24:30 AM

^^ is what? I was just pointing out that it wasnt "Rivers knocking out Manning". It was the Chargers (mostly Scifers and Sproles) knocking out the Colts.

^ no, Manning was about all the colts had tonight, he wasnt the reason they lost. Football is a team sport you know.

what a sore loser

just give it a rest already

Q: Which QB led his team to victory today?

A: Rivers, not Manning

1/4/2009 1:25:28 AM

I'm not saying Rivers is the reason why San Diego won...I'm just saying Peyton didn't play that much better than him...if at all.

I can think of three dropped interceptions by the Chargers secondary off the top of my head. Rivers had one INT and one, maybe two missed INTs by the Colts secondary (although I can really only think of that at the end of the game that would have been a really tough catch for the DB...the one forced throw to Jackson).

Other than that...the Chargers ran a lot more than Indy. So Manning had a lot more opportunities to get yards. Rivers made the throws when he needed to and threw it away when he needed to. He didn't lose the game for the Chargers and Peyton didn't win the game for the Colts.

I don't see what you can argue with about that.

1/4/2009 1:26:04 AM

Manning had no running game, Chargers were dropping back a lot of people into coverage knowing that he had to throw. Rivers overthrew a lot of receivers, include the TE with the retardedly long name wide open in the first half. I dont give a crap about yards, that has nothing to do with it, I wasnt saying Manning had more yards therefore he was better... just saying that it wasnt Manning choking, or Rivers knocking Manning out of the playoffs etc. I KNEW people would act this way as soon as the game was over, KNEW it

[Edited on January 4, 2009 at 1:28 AM. Reason : d]

1/4/2009 1:27:36 AM

And Manning overthrew (or threw too far to the sideline) Reggie Wayne early in the first quarter...what's your point??

1/4/2009 1:28:40 AM

nah, I'll buy what Jaybee is selling in this one. he is usually pretty objective.

usually.

go priv

1/4/2009 1:28:58 AM

^^ no, we dont know that. Could have easily been Wayne who turned the wrong way.

1/4/2009 1:29:34 AM

LT had 5 carries in the entire game but it was Indy with a healthy Addai and Rhodes who had no running game

LOL

I dont see how anyone could have watched that game and think "damn, too bad the Colts had Manning, he cost them the game". Thats fucking retarded

^ I wouldnt say Manning got jobbed, the team just didnt play good enough to win and fucked up with penalties at the end, If the Chargers would have lost it wouldnt have been because of Rivers

[Edited on January 4, 2009 at 1:32 AM. Reason : d]

1/4/2009 1:31:07 AM

Jaybee1200 is drowning... he's grasping for air.

manning made more bad throws in this game than rivers... his receivers were wide open all game long and many of his throws were off the mark. you don't want to play that game this time... you won't win.

1/4/2009 1:31:54 AM

^ hahah, ok, alias confirmed. Later

1/4/2009 1:33:10 AM

Neither QB played an amazing game, but manning probably played better. Rivers threw 2 to the D, 1 was caught, Manning threw 3 to the D, none were caught.

Manning had a great throw when the defense wasn't ready. It was an easy throw, but I give him credit for recognizing the D wasn't ready.

In the end though, it doesn't matter that much. Rivers played well enough to win. That 11 yard scramble and dive was CLUTCH.
