Philip Rivers now a Free Agent


Raleigh PF

Someone will slam me for this, but I've just never thought the guy was as good as the press around him. Like Carson Palmer, everything was about how good he was, what a great passer, master of the game... but just never could push a team into real contention.

He’s not a guy who can carry an offense like a Manning, Rodgers, Brees, etc. by any means. But put him in New England with Belichick and he probably has at least a couple rings. At this point though he’s pretty bad. Rivers and Colts would be an interesting pair.

In a lot of ways, he seemed like a great individual player in a team sport.  Anymore, he is well past his expiration date.

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
