Source: Rivers gets 6-year, $92M deal

[Black Widower]

After watchin Phillip Rivers play in college, I didn't see how anyone would draft Eli over him. Him and Drew Brees were two of my favorite college QB's ever. There's several QB's i'd take over Eli in the league wit no hesitation.

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

Philip had a throwing motion that was NOT supposed to translate well to the NFL. THAT is why Eli was drafted before him.

Stats are only a PART of NFL scouting.

^^^^^^ELI WAS DRAFTED BEFORE HIM BECAUSE OF HIS LAST NAME

a last name does not get you picked first overall ^^^^. if not sidney rice would go number 1. or vince young. etc

Phillips long ball is HARD, the chargers are built like a basketball team.

Phillip has the best release i seen since Dan Marino.

lolllllllllllllllllllllll.

Rice and Young are common last names. How many Mannings are there? Specifically sons of Archie?

yeah but based off dudes statement that he was drafted first cus of his last name, does not apply becuase if it did rice and young would go first every year.
