Is Philip Rivers currently the best QB in the NFL?

[Clayton]

Rodgers and Peyton couldn't beat Seattle and he did. @Arizona, Seattle is about as brutal as 2 weeks get and still over 7.0 YPA.

 

[Mondo Jay]

He has a ton of playoff wins that point to his greatness.

Wait..

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

Uh....... No.

 

[Cobiemonster]

I wouldn't say he's the best but he's jumping up the list right now, especially if he keeps this up

 

[NorthernLights88]

No, he is not the best. He is better than Eli, though.

 

[bksballer89]

No.

When did Rogers or Manning get Seattle at home?

If they played in Seattle, they lose by at least 10

 

[Mondo Jay]

No, he is not the best. He is better than Eli, though.

It seems everyone is better than Eli. He has gone full tard out there.

 

[RoyHobbs]

He's the Patrick Ewing of basketball. All Star caliber player, but never won the NBA championship. That resembles Rivers to a " T. "

 

[poprocksncoke]

LMAO




no.............

 

[SteelersPride]

Yes, nothing says winner like a guy whose played with at least 2 HOF'ers on offence, a probowl WR in vincent jackson......and some great Defences .....and won at least one time, or twice........whoops

yeah those week 2 regular season upsets really vault him up the rankings...?!?!

Rivers lost some of his career due to Norv Turner still running the '92 Cowboys offense for too long in San Diego.

That offense is fine when you have a top notch workhorse running back and a serviceable offensive line. Once LT started falling off, it was only a matter of time.

If you really watch Rivers...I don't think anyone consistently fits the ball in tighter windows on down field passes. He's absolutely sick.

That said, you can't say he's the best QB in the game. Those years where he was forcing all those throws which resulted in a ton of INT's still count against them, even though the offense he was running had played out. He's clearly the best QB of that draft class of his, but I do suspect had Norv been given the boot when needed, he'd be universally considered in the Manning-Brady-Rodgers-Brees class.

 

[Davis_Mike]

No.

/thread

 

[HaroldSeattle]

The answer is no. He hasn't thrown the most TDs, or the most yardage, or have the best passing percentage, or won the most games. He doesn't have the best stats, no matter how you cut it.

riiight

 

[UK Cowboy]

In a word....NO

 

[Raid]

This is crazy talk. The best QB. really? Pass me the doob.

 

[HizzleRocker]

No. Even as a Chargers can - No.

But he is very underrated. Most outside of the Chargers org don't understand how little help our owners have given him. Don't believe me? Answer who were the #2 and 3 WR for them last year? He had an incredible year, with a below average if not borderline ba do-line; with a rookie as his #1 WR.

I do think he could be n the top 5/6 conversation though.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

in a word

ok maybe that wasn't a word.

 

[Ties5o11]

Considering two years ago most people were wondering if he was even a starter in this league, he has been fantastic lately. But is he better than Rodgers, Manning, or Brees? No.
