Did you watch him last weekend? Did you see Rivers' virtuoso, flawless performance in a gigantic, critical win for the Chargers? Rivers completed 20 of 25 passes, threw for 231 yards, two touchdowns, no picks, saved the season, the head coach's job, took the heat off the cantankerous general manager and the loud-mouthed linebackers, managed to infuriate the opposition and may or may not have saved women and children from a burning building.
Rivers is carrying this team and sneaking into the MVP mix.
Against the Eagles, Rivers had a whopping 131.8 quarterback rating. The week before, he mesmerized the Giants defense with a game-winning drive. Rivers has 16 touchdowns against six picks. He's a classic gunslinger who oozes confidence. Rivers is good, and he will let everyone, from the opposing players to the opposing fans, know about it.
