Quote:Their overall roster right now, is worst than the jaguars. They have a few pieces the Jags do not with pass rushers and RB, but otherwise the team is not good.

 

Rivers has shown he can be a good QB, the problem is that he tends not to trust his teammates (which makes sense given their injuries at WR and OL) and call his number and force things. If they can get an average running game, and bring in an OC that he will listen to and work with ( a la Big Ben and Haley), he will play a whole lot better.

 

He isn't the only QB with that issue. To certain extent, over the past few years it's plagued Romo when the Cowboys cannot run the ball, Brees when the Saints get behind and have to play catch up, and Luck because of cohesiveness on both sides of the ball. 

 

Plus if you need a game winning drive in the last 5 minutes, who do want as QB or least want to face, Rivers or Bortles?

What?

 

They have pieces all along the OL. Keenan Allen, Melvin Gordon, Joey Bosa, Corey Luiget, Denzel Perryman, Hunter Henry, Jatavis Brown, Melvin Ingram, and Brandon Mebane.


They are far from talentless...they did have a lot of injuries but they also are ALWAYS injured...so it runs deep in the org. Getting a new coach isn't going to magically keep that team healthy.
