Rivers DOES have what it takes, and the Brees injury is a blessing not a setback. From the outside looking in, im sure it's difficult for many to accept this idea. Hell, there are still so called bolt fans who are upset about the move. Who still praise Brees and do not show full support for their new team leader. We shall see them on the bandwagon soon enough. I have no ill will towards Drew and appreciate very m,uch what he and the team has done for us the past few years. Product of a good team around him? Thats a topic for another day perhaps. But for now, ITS RIVERS TIME BABY!
i wasnt thrilled with letting Brees go but i was a little unsure about Rivers. i seen him play a million times in college and i know the guy can play but i was unsure about how that would translate to the pro game. im not worried no more. the offense is ranked #3 overall higher than when Brees was here and the defense is playing Lights Out thanks to Merriman. and they are ranked #2. imagine if they can keep that up for the whole season. i know we havent been tested but the Raven game in 2 weeks will def give us an indication of how good we can be.

The true test for Rivers will be later in the season when he will be more tired when he will have to make big passes and have big passing games. LT can't be the greatest every game.

You guys act like Rivers has never thrown a football before. He was born for this sport. Ive been saying it since we drafted him, but now his chance to shine has finally arrived. LT, Gates, Merriman, Neal, Williams, are just a few players that compliment Rivers. Pretty soon his name will be up there w/ the Pro Bowlers too. You'll see...
