Another religious NFL QB

Who knew??

Rivers is an active Catholic and does a great deal of work in speaking with youth about spirituality. He states that, "I feel fortunate that I have the physical and mental tools to play the game... In turn I would like to use the popularity I have and have been given for the glory of God, to share with young people about how to be a better person - how to do things the right way." Rivers encourages youth to look to spirituality to understand that sexual intimacy should be reserved for marriage.

So...why he he not getting the media coverage? Is it maybe he is not an attention hound? That's the only difference I see in him and The Golden Calf of Bristol....except he is a much better QB.

Just do not understand the The Golden Calf of Bristol fascination.

Just a couple of reasons off the top of my head...

Rivers doesn't take the field with eye black bearing bible verses.

Rivers hasn't done an anti-abortion commercial

this and there's no need to argue that rivers is a good qb. The Golden Calf of Bristol is so fuging terrible that analysts (skip bayless) try to take an outside approach to the debate in an attempt to look smarter and garner more attention.

i don't buy in to the abstinence quote either. judging by his personality he was probably pounding mad vag at NC State

Still don't see how The Golden Calf of Bristol's an attention hound.

And, as I've said before, a lot of it comes from the subconscious american zeitgeist that encourages cheering for the underdog. No one thinks The Golden Calf of Bristol can play in the NFL, not to mention he has an unconventional (to say the least) style. So this makes a lot of people cheer for him.

But he's not an attention hound, from what I've seen.

    • It's definitely a historical issue at QB but to be perfectly blunt, we also don't do a good job of really developing almost any position if you look at the last decade or so. I tend to be on the side of that being far less a development issue than an evaluation deficiency.  I think we are in the situation at QB2/3 recently due to the overall roster being absolutely abhorrent and the QB classes being quite thin. It is harder to justify another Matt Corral(or several) when you can potentially get a real two deep contributor at other positions.  But, it was a lot of hard work to get to the point where are roster is so incredibly bad that luxury picks literally are not in our vocabulary.  This is the reaping what you sow portion of our history.
    • That is what I meant about our front office. They are like someone filling out a March Madness bracket based on preference of uniform colors and mascots. There's no rhyme of reason to some of these fugg'n mind numbing decisions they make.  They go all in on these flimsy-@ss prospects and are gun shy when it comes to more solid prospects.  It's literally maddening and the reason I stopped being so emotionally involved in this team. Heck the only reason I'm active on the board today is one, it's my day off and two, it's cut down time.
