Would you trade Philip Rivers for Mariota?

Kevin Acee thinks the Chargers could.

 

Time to trade Rivers if Mariota is the man

 

For the unfamiliar, Kevin Acee is not some guy with a website.  He's been the Chargers beat writer for several years and he's one of the better writers out there.

 

If he takes this seriously, then it very well could have legs, and it would make the draft a whirlwind if it happened.

I don't get it. Philip Rivers has been pretty dang good for SD.

 

From the story...

 

Tom Telesco and Mike McCoy keep saying they want Philip Rivers to retire as a San Diego Charger.

 

That may well happen, even if Rivers follows through on his stated intention to play out the final year of his current contract and even if he doesn’t sign another contract with the team after this season.

 

The ominous reality for the Chargers is that there is no telling what happens with their franchise quarterback.

 

Despite some inside Chargers Park pressing the narrative that the Los Angeles factor is overblown, the team knows it is not.

 

There are numerous people in the organization dreading a move to L.A. as much as Rivers is. Everyone knows it is possible – some even believe likely – the team will move in 2016 or ’17.

 

The only real control the Chargers have with their quarterback is now, this offseason.

 

So – and this is difficult to think, let alone write – they need to trade Rivers.

 

Apparently, Rivers doesn't want to stay with the team if they move to Los Angeles, which Acee seems to think is a very real possibility (and that's probably a topic in itself).

Why would the Titans be so dumb to trade the #2 pick for a 33 y.o QB? it's going to have to take more than that

Ownership is in flux and the coach and GM have to worry about their jobs. Getting Rivers instantly turns around the team and puts them in playoff contention which gives them more time. A playoff team probably makes them more valuable if they are sold and the coach and GM will probably get at least 3 more years of job security with Rivers at QB.

Acee believes Rivers has at least five good years left in him.

Definitely possible which is why I said at least 3 years, but in his mid-late 30's there is really no telling how well his body will hold up and there have been rumors his back is already kind of messed up.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
