The Chud Affect

[davos]

Every sd beat writer thinks he's hiding a leg injury.

Here's an interesting perspective earlier this season:

haha @ this:

"Philip Rivers is an asshole. It's what makes him special. If Peyton Manning plays football like he's overseeing an assembly line and his brother Eli plays like he's being sent to detention, Philip Rivers plays like he's about to start a fight at last call, and there's nowhere else on earth he'd rather be. Remember when he [tried to torment] Jay Cutler?"

Rivers is a huge asshole and everyone knows it. One of the reasons the Chargers are my least favorite team in the NFL.

The early absence of Antonio Gates has a lot to do with it as well, and he still looks a bit out of shape. Rivers is forcing throws, especially when playing from behind.

The one thing I worry about with Rivera coming from San Diego is that I have always seen Turner's teams as being underachievers. Explosive, but underachieving. Whatever the cause, I hope not too much of that has rubbed off on Ron and Chud.

Rivers has a case of the mumps. He is failing for trying too hard. If you watched that game against GB, there were plenty of Delhomme-like "why would you throw that?" moments.

UPDATE: 06/14/2011: Philip Rivers clearly took procreation lessons from Antonio Cromartie while playing together in San Diego. Sources are indicating that Tiffany is pregnant with the couples 6th child. To quote a tweet from @TheBigLead,...

"Cromartie is impressed he made them all w/ 1 woman."

Well if it comes to losing Chud to a head coach offer, would you rather give up Rivera and keep Chud as head coach?

[Brokenbad]

Phillip Rivers is an overrated prick with a whimpy looking javelin throw.

Depends on what kind of defense Rivera builds. I would rather have a defensive minded coach personally as well as an elite defense over an elite offense. Yea it's an offensive league now days but that to me is all the more reason to have a solid D. I don't see why you can't build a 11 style defense if you can build a 11 offense. Again, that's just my preference and Rivera seems more able to do that. I would give Chud as much money as I could though...
