NFL's new safety policy

[yachties23]

Rivers has been hurt all season, and played with a serious knee injury in the play offs a few years back. He has also won despite having offensive weapons hurt, and the worst coach in the NFL. Of the three QBs drafted that season, hes the only one without a superbowl, but may be the most talented. I'd take any of the three, but right now, I think that Ben would need the best supporting cast.

We all have our opinions, but you gotta give the raper his due.
I've never considered him an elite QB, but his arm and game head has come along leaps and bounds over the last four years. And he wins. He plays hurt and takes games away.
Rivers sits down if he gets a bruise. He's set himself down a number of times over the years.
Thank God Tebow got a wink or I'd have you institutionalized. Lol

Ya know, another BIG positive for Phillip Rivers these days is that he's grown up immensely over the last few years. I don't see the big baby, throwing tantrums, 10-year-old pouty face, kicking stuff on the sidelines, yelling at players and coaches like I used to see.
All that lack of composure held him back. It used to be I couldn't even stand to listen to him after the games because he was so full of himself. He's really, truly changed and done a 180.
I guess what I'm saying is that it's Phillip River's fault all that talent was wasted for all those years when he had an excellent supporting cast. Now he's got an iffy-ish supporting cast and he's doing well.
If the Chargers make some more moves this off-season, they have a huge opportunity to exploit Phillip Rivers at the pinnacle of his career. I hope they get it done.

And believe it or not, I thought of him this way before he carved up the Ravens last night and did me and my Steelers a HUGE solid.
Now it's up to the Steelers to hang on to this early Christmas present.
