Thread: Report: Chargers have “moved on” from Philip Rivers

We just spent the last 4 years watching TS, PL and CK ... I’ll take any of these overrated QB’s.

Rivers is just a more athletic version of CK.

Phil always had a weak arm for NFL standards, but he was throwing absolute ducks in the second half of the season.

Hard to argue with Buff's case, but I guess I'd try to tentatively throw out Matt Stafford as someone who has consistently been overrated. I'm not sure he's MORE overrated than Phylis, but there's an argument there.

I'd ask the same thing with Stafford. Who overrates him? He's pretty much always talked about as a guy who has put up big stats and never won anything. That's...pretty accurate? I've never seen him grouped with the elite QBs.

I’ve got to the point where none of these guys are overrated if they’re an NFL starting QB, I’ll gladly go with Flacco if I have to, y’all can have your Nick Mullens and Brandon Allen’s.

After all that Brandon Allen has done for you?!?!!??

Still, it feels like your argument boils down to "there are stats, so no one is over or under rated. They are rated exactly as their stats say."

I'm not claiming Stafford has been put in the category of "elite", just that the conversation has consistently been that he's "right around the corner" to that and despite having one of the best receivers of all time playing for him, never could take that step.

No, my definition of overrated is that the narrative around a player exceeds what they have actually produced. I think Eli is overrated. He had an average career and is being talked about as a hall of famer. If people start clamoring for Stafford to go to the Hall of Fame when he retires, then I'll consider him overrated by those people. For now though, I think he's pretty properly rated.

Let me guess, you also hate Kyle Sloter.

Never got the chance.

Lets hope Elway doesnt think Rivers is in his prime either.
