You should be worried about Rivers
 

Dude is straight up beasting this year.

He just set the all time record for accuracy in a 400 yard game, and there is only one other QB even close to as good as him statistically this season (Manning, duh). Manning is statistically better in every category, actually he leads the NFL in every important category, but Rivers is right behind him.

I think a lot of you were assuming 2 wins against us this year, but what I've seen from Rivers the last 4 games has me more excited than ever. He's never played this good, and he used to be considered "Elite."

I'll compare Rivers, Manning, and Brees because they seem like the 3 best QBs to compare as of now. Brady is suffering with his shitty receiving corps, or else I'd throw him in here too.

Yards
Manning - 1470 (1st)
Brees - 1434 (2nd)
Rivers - 1199 (7th)

Comp %
Manning - 75.0% (1st)
Rivers - 73.9% (2nd)
Brees - 66.9% (4th)

Touchdowns
Manning - 16 (1st)
Rivers - 11 (2nd)
Brees - 10 (3rd)

Passer Rating
Manning - 138.0 (1st)
Rivers - 118.8 (2nd)
Brees - 103.8 (5th)

Total QBR
Manning - 91.4 (1st)
Rivers - 81.4 (2nd)
Brees - 74.9 (4th)

Interceptions (Starters Only)
Manning - 0 (1st)
Rivers - 2 (T-4th)
Brees - 4 (~T-18th)

Apologies to Aaron Rodgers for not having played 4 games or else I'd use him in comparison too.

Comparison of last year to this year so far.

I'm not sure anyone was assuming 2 wins against you this year.

I am assuming they'll find a way to flame out brilliantly for the season as a whole in true Chargers fashion.

I still think a lot of people are. All I hear about is how trash we are every day on this board.

Yeah but your defense is terrible, just awful. Rivers might be having a good year thus far, but Rivers is Rivers is Rivers .... is Rivers.

I agree, Buck.

And he's doing it with Gates and hot garbage around him.

Yeah, people think he's a douchebag, but he's absolutely carrying the Chargers.

It's a shame your defense isn't any good.

It'll definitely be a tougher game than I would have guessed. I could see a split series, though I think our defense will be tough for Rivers to see anywhere near that level of production.

He's putting up Matt Cassel numbers for sure.

The thing is we have beaten SD when they had a better team and we actually didn't. I fear no offense with our current defense and DC. BRING'EM ON!

Our defense is as garbage as garbage gets, but our offense can consistently put up 30. That will beat plenty of teams.

They have surprised me.


New coach, injuries, etc.


The Chargers can play. No doubt about it.

The ****ing chargers are trash.

Least favorite player in the league.

Feels pretty good knowing the AFCW is one of the better divisions right now.

While the NFC East is currently one of the worst.

**** the east coast.
