Re: Phillip Rivers
Well, okay - except LT blew last year, and Brees was still very, very good.

Are you kidding? It worked out awesome for him, hes getting paid $40,000,000 guarenteed to site on the bench. He probably has the best job in the NFL [/ QUOTE ] Some players aren't losers who are in football for the money. They actually want to compete. Not to mention the obvious fact that his next contract isn't going to be worth much.

Re: Phillip Rivers
I'm a huge Giants fan who happens to live in San Diego, and I think some might have to take another look at what Eli did last Spring.
I can't defend what he did (not that I'm complaining [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]), but given the Chargers storied history of tough negotiations with draft picks, it is reasonable to assume that Eli would be holding that clipboard right now if he didn't demand the trade. I also love Rivers complaining about a lack of playing time the day after the Bolts beat the bag out of the Giants and Brees went something like 22-25. The media out here loves to spin it by saying the Chargers got the good kid and the Giants got the punk, but after a huge holdout and complaints about playing time the day after your team drops 44, you gotta maybe wonder.

Re: Phillip Rivers
I read that interview and I don't think it is fair to charactarize Rivers as a complainer. He simply said that he wants to start somewhere next year. Which I think is pretty reasonable. Besides that, though, the interview pointed out that the team winning was the number one priority, and even that he is good friends with Drew Brees. Obviously he isn't in the situation he expected to be in, and I think his position is pretty reasonable.
