To me this is a no brainer.
Philip Rivers can have 30+ td seasons with low interception totals, he's done this before.
While he doesn't have the devastating running game he had earlier in his career (Tomlinson), 26 td's and 15 picks is not a bad year, in fact is it about on par with Elway's better years.
As pointed out Rivers can throw for 5,000 yards in a seas if the right conditions. He can make all the throws.
Alex Smith sucks ass. He is a game manager with some mobility.
Rivers plays for the Chargers, which is kind of a cursed franchise so not sure if this is a factor. Also, every year the Chargers have had Rivers they've been competitive at the least, cannot say the same for Smith and 9ers.
