A good QB MUST have some Douche Factor. This can not be denied.

I don't know about letting guys walk out the door. Tomlinson got old... Merriman got old fast. Donnie Edwards couldn't play forever. They kept guys like Jackson, Shaun Phillips and Jammer. AJ Smith wasn't the personnel wizard people believed he was when Marty got fired.

If Alex actually "led" anything, you might have a point.

Silly Question...
Rivers should turn it around this season. The WR corps looks good and the OL looks like shit. Mike McCoy and Ken Whisenhunt are going to deploy an offense with shorter routes, unlike Norf's vertical throwing game. This should help Rivers' completion % and avoid INTs. Rivers will have a better year than Smith this season. |

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. |

The NFL is a "what have you done for me lately" kind of league, so I think I'd take Smith over Rivers at this point. Not that I am really expecting Alex to elevate our team to anything beyond what it "could be", I know that Rivers has downright lost games for his team over the last couple of years. In my opinion, it will be interesting to see who will be able to bring his team to success this year: the play-maker or the play-planner?

If they were the same age, or if this was a few years ago, Phillip Rivers would be my choice. Right now though, I'd probably go with Alex Smith.
