Rivers is an accumulator. Played a long time, in a passing era, and naturally put up big numbers in yards and TDs. Was never a top 5 QB in the league and didn't stand out from his peers. Yes, the team he played for had many dumb coaches. It's also true San Diego was a market nobody cared about. I don't remember him elevating his game in big moments. To me, he's the Hall of Very Good, but he'll make the HOF for sure. The voters don't look at stats in context of the era. The Hockey Hall of Fame has become especially guilty of this. Accumulators who didn't stand out like Rivers and Gore are going to make it in the NFL. |

What truly hurt him was playing for Norv (mediocre) Turner so many years in his prime.

We had a love/hate relationship with that guy. Can't deny his will to 'try' to win.
Congrats. |

Not sure about that. Obviously you have Manning, Brady, Brees, Roethlisberger. Rodgers became a permanent starter in 2008. I'd rank all those players ahead of Rivers during the majority of that stretch. There may be some season where he sneaks in as a top 5 QB, but not many. Remember that Warner and Favre had some hot seasons during that period you reference.

Colts quarterback Philip Rivers is introduced at St. Michael Catholic High School as the football coach. He will take over once he retires from the NFL. |

He might have flailed around like a bitch when things weren't going his way but at least he cared unlike a lot of athletes across all sports.
Or he didn't actually care but he at least put effort into making you think he cared.

If Rivers is a HOF'er then Mahomes should be first ballot if he retired today.

Mahomes has already won as many playoff games as Rivers.
