While this is largely true I still think Rivers was a much better overall quartback I suspect he wins those superbowls if the trade hadn't happened.... he never had close to the defensive support Manning had.

Maybe, maybe not. Eli absolutely played his ass off in those two SB runs.

And it wasn't just a one-time thing with Eli.  He wasn't a consistent QB but he was crazy clutch.

You can't say the same about Rivers.  Was he a better QB than Eli?  Sure, but with the game on the line, give me Eli 100%.

I wish Burns was half the player Hutchinson was. Burns has a tendency to disappear and Hutchinson has a habit of showing up in big moments.

White DEs/edge rushers are a different breed.  Hutchinson, Bosa, TJ Watt, Crosby... they are built different man lol 

Burns is a good player but he doesn't have that kind of edge to him.

At the end of the day it comes down to rings. For a long time it looked like the Chargers had won that Eli trade by 2 rings to none says the Giants won by a landslide.

I never mentioned who won the trade but thanks for not reading

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
