| McCoy 'blown away' by Rivers |
| (5/13/13) Chargers head coach Mike McCoy told Sports Illustrated he's impressed with what he's seen from veteran passer Philip Rivers. "I've been blown away by his anticipation and willingness to learn," McCoy said, adding he thinks Rivers can complete 70 percent of his passes in the new offense, particularly by taking fewer chances in coverage and throwing to short-area targets. |
| Rivers remains confident |
| (4/17/13) Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said Tuesday he's focused on winning this year and not where his career is despite reports this is a make or break season for him. "I’m the leader of this group that can lead us back into the playoffs," Rivers said. "As far as whatever the numbers say over the last few years, and I say this humbly and respectfully, I’ve played in 110 straight games or more and thrown a bunch of touchdowns and over the years the ratio of touchdowns to interceptions is pretty dang good. I don’t feel like I’m in a struggling mode or if I don’t play well this year that am I out of football. I want to play well because I want us to win. ... I think it’s human nature to ask those questions at this juncture, and it doesn’t bother me one bit because in a lot of ways it can be justified. I can handle that, and I’m responsible for the lack of plays I’ve made and the plays I have made and I’m excited. I’m excited about what we can do and where we can go." |

| 2013 make or break for Rivers? |
| (4/4/13) Appearing on NFL Network, U-T San Diego Chargers beat man Kevin Acee believes this season is the make-or-break year for Philip Rivers. A new coaching regime and front-office staff might not be willing to pay Rivers a rich salary if he doesn't rack up wins in 2013. "No one will say it, but I think that 2013 is the final audition of Philip Rivers," Acee said. |
| Rivers needs help on line |
| (2/25/13) The Union-Tribune San Diego reports that Chargers need to rebuild their offensive line or consider trading Philip Rivers. New general manager Tom Telesco said finding Rivers some protection is a goal. “We’re trying,” Telesco said. Rivers had a solid stretch from 2008-11, but since his offense has fallen apart. The report indicates the offensive line is the biggest issue. The report says "Rivers can’t run, can’t throw on the run and has been under such siege that he has seemingly even misplaced some of his previously superb in-the-pocket elusiveness." The mantra should be: Get the man some protection. “To me, Philip has enough slide and instincts in the pocket that he’s fine,” Telesco said, to which I replied he must have been watching film from three years ago. “No matter if we had a mobile quarterback or a quarterback that’s a pocket guy, we need a good offensive line. It doesn’t matter if it’s Michael Vick or Philip, we need to put together an offensive line for him.” |
| Philip Rivers was once thought of as an upper-echelon Fantasy quarterback, but the last two years have plenty of owners questioning whether he should even be drafted at all. Rivers is coming off one of the worst seasons of his career in 2012 with 3,606 passing yards, 26 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. The passing yards and touchdowns were his lowest total since 2007, and he's trending in the wrong direction. He had just eight games with more than 18 Fantasy points and only topped 20 points four times. His offensive line is a mess, and his receiving corps is in flux with Antonio Gates and Malcom Floyd aging, Vincent Brown coming back from injury and Danario Alexander a restricted free agent. If Alexander comes back as expected and Brown rebounds at 100 percent, Rivers should be OK. But he has a lot to prove, and not many Fantasy owners are counting on him. He should be considered a No. 2 quarterback on Draft Day, and he should only be selected with a late-round pick. If he rebounds, you have a steal, but don't overvalue him based on name recognition.
