Number 3 is Eli Manning, I believe. So, while the Giants are struggling currently, dont get bogged down in the stats all the time. Eli has a couple o rings to go with all those TOs.
Sanchez blows, no question. Rivers is a helluva QB whose recent TO problems have been exacerbated by a lack of talent around him.
Yes, and yes.
Rivers has been hurt by the departure of Vincent Jackson. He needs a big #1 target.
What do you think he could do with Fitzgerald?!
And some people would give up as much for Josh Freeman as Rivers...
I'd take a flyer on Freeman for sure, but I'm not giving up a 1st rounder for him.
Rivers was widely considered a top-5 QB as late as 2011.
This is a guy who's only had under a 60% completion rating one year in his career (2005, first year starting)
He threw for 4700 yards in 2010. 4600 in 2011. OK, he's had too many INTs the past two years (20 and 15) but still had more tds (27 and 22).Compare that to Freeman who had 16 tds to 22ints in 2011 and while he's much better this year 25tds to 12 ints, his compl % has gone down to 54.8%
Rivers might not be Brady, but he's only 31. How old was Kurt Warner when we took a chance on him? He could still ostensibly have his best years ahead of him in the right situation, and that's saying a lot, because to date his best year was 2008:
34 tds, 11 ints 4,009 yards 65.3 compl %
Compare to
Warner in 2008: 30 tds, 14 ints, 4,583 yards, 67.1 compl. %
Anyone who doesn't want Rivers on this team (if he's even available) is downright crazy.
