Jetfan16 Junior Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3207105 I hope we make a run at this guy. Great competitor and leaves it out on the field. A fine QB. hes not a choir boy enough for Mangini! thats what Andre Wallsworth and Michael Haynes are for!!1 seriously though, i think we need to live or die with KC for the next few years, Chad is our veteran, we dont need another one, i think its time for the team and Mangini to live or die with KC, and when it turns into another mess, move on to the next coach and quarterback until we get it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great competitor and leaves it out on the field. A fine QB. I agree 110% this guy is big strong and isnt afraid to mix it up. Why cant our talent scouts evaluate guys like this and choose them to play for the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYjet10 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I WANT RIVERS AS OUR QUARTERBACK!!!! Give a 2nd, a 4th round pick in this years draft, and our first in next years draft, and hell give them a 3rd also nex year. TANGINI GO GET HIM!!!!

Give a 2nd, a 4th round pick in this years draft, and our first in next years draft, and hell give them a 3rd also nex year. TANGINI GO GET HIM!!!! Trade 2 first day picks(we got Revis and Harris with 2 picks near the quality what this years 2nd and a first will be next year), and 2 more picks that could most likely come in and compete if not GET the starting job(starting o-linemen are found in the 3rd and 4th rounds, as we've seen the past couple of years)? Forget the fact that SD would demand a 1st rounder this year, more than likely, and that they're unlikely to want to give him up unless that knee is going to be a huge problem from here on out.... Even forget that funky throwing motion of his, or the fact that he's downgrading from a top notch talented team(LT, Gates, Chambers, and a very good o-line). You do realize that coming out of college Rivers was highly touted because of his high completion percentage, right? I guess thats exactly what we should be looking for.

You do realize that coming out of college Rivers was highly touted because of his high completion percentage, right? I guess thats exactly what we should be looking for. Someone who completes a high % of passes I'm not sure exactly what the deal is with Rivers, from what I've heard he has an opt out of his contract and can potentially become an Unrestricted Free Agent. If that's the case the Jets need to make a serious run at him or Derek Anderson. I could care less about his throwing motion as long as the passes get there. Rivers has proven himself as a QB on this level. I am not satisfied going into next season with Kellen Clemens as the starter and Tangini signing some veteran scrub with no real chance at the starting job to be the back-up. Kellen Clemens is not terrible but he is not good either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 am i the only one who thought Rivers looked like a taller version of Chad Pennington....He was floating the balls and underthrowing alot which caused some of the interceptions.....plus the guy does seem to act like a douche sometimes... props for the surgery and wanting to play unlike the whiner L.

Garb Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Why on God's Green Earth would SD let that happen? And, why would Rivers leave a team that came one game short of the SB? Pipe dreams don't come true - hate to break it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomlinson He couldn't step into his throws, all year he's been playing with a knee injury. He has a cannon normally though. I didn't like him as a QB aftersome of his play at the beginning of the season but I wasn't aware of his injury. He really stepped up toward the end of the season though. He really showed a lot of heart in the playoffs though, he earned of a lot of respect from me, I'm not a big fan of his jawing but if he plays well it's not a problem. No way in Hell San Diego lets him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 It was partially torn last I checked. If it was completely torn he'd be unable to walk. Philip Rivers' ACL is completely torn and will need reconstructive surgery. Initial reports were he only had a partial tear. Rivers maintains he will be ready by the start of training camp, but previous timetables regarding these injuries indicate that's optimistic. Carson Palmer had a similarly timed injury and made it back for Week 1, but wasn't quite the same for awhile.
