Re: Rivers is TERRIBLE!

My bad. I thought you were advocating for Rivers who is nearing the end of his career. That's why I was like, "At least suggest a younger dude." For the record, I think Phillip Rivers has been a very good QB.

No, I respect Rivers but I've never been a fan. Someone suggested the Rams might get him as a backup if the Colts get Wentz and I don't think that's a possibility for many reasons. Primarily, Rivers isn't going to linger and hang on and take backup roles just to collect a paycheck IMO.

Sure, if the Rams could get him no a vet minimum deal to back up Goff and mentor/teach him whatever he could, that would be fine. But it's about as likely as getting Peyton Manning to do it.

Rivers in his prime vs. Goff in a pick your poison? I'd probably give the edge to Rivers but not by much. I'm not to the final straw with Goff but his seat gets warmer each time he has a game like SF. Mainly because he isn't offsetting those poor games with big production at other times. Wilson has had some bad games recently but he's also still got twice as many TD's as Goff. If it was high high's and low low's with Goff it would be more tolerable but when kinda mediocre is the "good" and then you get some costly, bad games on top of that, it gets frustrating.
