If we had Rivers right now, this is a championship team.
I'm hoping Alex can play the best ball of his life, but Rivers is a damn beast. Extremely underrated player. |

Rivers is the most overrated QB in this forum that I've ever seen, even more so than Flacco or Wilson.

Despite all of the received handjobs and bluster, you have yet to give that list...

Brady Roethisberger Dilfer Other SB winning QBs had either shitty WR corps or OLs, but not both. Eli Rodgers Wilson That's 6 of the 10 SB winning QBs since the turn of the century, with Peyton, Brees, Flacco, and Johnson not getting the nod, and Colts fans might argue about that 2006 team. |

Dilfer only got there once, with the defensive juggernaut Ravens (2000). Roethlisberger's 2005 squad had Ward lead the WRs with 69 catches and Randle El second with 35. Brady's 001 Patriots had Troy Brown with over 100 catches and David Patten with 51. Why were their numbers that high? The next highest WR/TE was a 3 way tie at 14 catches, and one of them was Terry Glenn, who was suspended by the team for the season, won an appeal, but only played 4 games before going back on the shelf due to injury. Brady was effectively using Troy Brown and David Patten as his entire WR/TE corps. As a side note, the Patriots were also a lousy 24th in the NFL in rushing yards per attempt that season, averaging just 3.8 yards per carry. I might argue that Brady's WR in 2014 were also that kind of shitty, but LaFell played much better than he had in Carolina, and I can't be sure that was all the result of Brady, so I think the argument can at least be countered to some degree. |

WTF does it even matter if elite QBs can or can't overcome a terrible OL/WRs/etc? Has the argument ever been that Alex Smith should have gone to or won a SB in the past two seasons? Of course not.

I take it you're trying to be dense? Trying to be stupid on purpose? Well, congrats, I guess.

So I will just say, my point was : very few QBs that I can think of over history have excelled while playing behind bottom level OLs while throwing to bottom level WRs. in case I was mistaken on this, I asked people here. Smith is not a remarkable QB, except to say that he is mentally tough. He won't go down in history as an all that memorable player.. but knowing (?) that there are very few QBs that can excel while playing behind bottom level OLs while throwing to bottom level WRs... why were people that don't think much of him in the first place.. expecting him to have excelled with such deficiencies at OL and WR? I'm done with it. Not in a pussified "I'm leaving forever" cry as OTWP and Pawnmower has done, lol... I know, shucks.
