2 big name pass rushers and a known QB = media coverage.

They won 6 of their last 7 at the end of last season. They have a QB that is proven. They have a good defense. They are returning most of their players and the entire coaching staff. So little turnover creates more continuity. They had a good draft too.
The Chiefs have a new unproven OC and QB and our D is maybe middle of the road. The Donkos have a QB that has had one good year and a coaching staff that is mediocre at best. The Faiders have a new HC that has been away from the game for a while and has signed a bunch of aged veterans that are done and likely wont make it through the season.

I think their schedule has some to do with them being favored too. Much easier schedule than the Chiefs.

Their defense is pretty ****ing good, they figured out how to not get Rivers to turn it over despite a shit oline and they get 2 of their highly drafted interior lineman back plus they had a kick ass draft this year.

If they stay healthy, they should be able to have a shot in every game they play.
Unfortunately, team health has killed them the last couple years. |

I don't see why they shouldn't get any hype. Legit defense and an offense with dangerous weapons and a borderline HOF QB.

Yeah, I'd love to know how many HOF QBs there are who have never even played in a Super Bowl. Rivers has longevity with a team going for him, but beyond that he's really just another mediocre QB.
EDIT: There are actually quite a few, so who knows? Maybe he'll make it in. http://www.businessinsider.com/the-b...er-bowl-2012-1 Last edited by DaFace; 05-15-2018 at 12:43 PM.. |

Rivers is 9th all time in passing yards, one in front of Warren Moon (HOF) and a few spots behind Dan Marino (HOF), neither played in a SB.
On the flip side, he's not too far ahead of Carson Palmer (12), Vinny Testaverde (13), Drew Bledsoe (14), and Kerry Collins (17).

At no point has Rivers ever been in that category. Warren Moon was crushing NFL records in his time. "In 1990, Moon led the league with 4,689 passing yards. He also led the league in attempts (584), completions (362), and touchdowns (33), and tied Dan Marino's record with nine 300-yard games in a season. That included throwing for 527 yards against Kansas City on December 16, 1990, the second-most passing yards ever in a single game.[15] The following year, he again led the league in passing yards, with 4,690. At the same time, he joined Marino and Dan Fouts as the only quarterbacks to post back-to-back 4,000-yard seasons. Moon also established new NFL records that season with 655 attempts and 404 completions."

Marino's lone SB appearance was tarnished by a lopsided loss. If you put Marino on those loaded San Fran teams- they would have would 10 SuperBowls. |
