If Rivers were black, the media would kill him. He's not a winner.

I would not say top 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate him, obviously, but he's an amazing QB. Under-rated is definitley the wrong title though. Under-achieving maybe......

Sanchez is sub-par at best and his window has closed. Patriots have one back up better than Sanchez and one that will be better.

Rivers is a solid QB, but a lot of his success is attributed to the fact that he plays hamburgers for half the season. For the last few years, right behind the NFC West, the AFC West has been the worst division in the NFL. Second, the guy plays in Sunny Southern California, perfect weather conditions for half his games. Thirdly, the guy has had a ton of talent around him. He had LT in his prime sucking in safeties into the box, V-jackson, and all-pro tight end Antonio Gates.

Rivers will be like Dan Marino, a great QB who will never win a super bowl ring.

agree strongly

Not better than Rodgers, Manning, Brady or Brees, so def not top 3

Also tough is not the same as good

If Rivers was black, he would be the first active player inducted into the HOF. Media/blacks are dying to have a good black qb. Look at McNab lol, idiots trying to say he is a HOFer, Stan Humphries was better.

Not his fault keading missed three chippies.

and norv cant handle the pressure. He is 0% responsible for all the failures of the chargers in the norv era.

guy is top 3 qb in the league. tough as nails

while LT was sulking on the sidelines phil was playing with a broken arm.

LOL.

And it is his fault, not Kaeding's, they didn't get into end zone.

Kicker only comes on when the Qb FAILS.
