SAN DIEGO (Aug. 12, 2006) -- Chargers coach Marty Schottenheimer has high expectations for new quarterback Philip Rivers.

Rivers didn't disappoint in his debut, throwing for 169 first-half yards and leading two early scoring drives in a 17-3 victory over Green Bay in Saturday night's preseason opener for both teams.

"I thought he played excellent," Schottenheimer said. "He played pretty much like I expect him to."

The Chargers showed their faith in Rivers, a third-year pro, by letting Drew Brees leave for New Orleans during the offseason.

Cool in the pocket and crisp with his passes, Rivers completed 15-of-21 while playing the entire first half except for the final play. He connected on a 22-yard touchdown pass to Vincent Jackson on the Chargers' opening series to cap a 64-yard drive, then engineered an 18-play, 86-yard scoring

I have to admit that Rivers looked good, but the real grading doesn't start until a few games after the season starts, IMO.

I think i said this in another thread i mentioned that the reason rivers had a good game against the pack was because he just stood there with no pressure and picked apart the defense but yesterday proved my point the bears put the pressure on and exposed how inexperienced rivers is ,he really took some shots, man ogunleye lit him up. i couldnt stop laughing i tell you what though m.turner looked great i cant believe how he just shoved c.tillman down thats a lot of power wish we had him backing up lamont.
