Rivers number 3

[csmopar]

As in 3rd best FA pick up of 2020.

Key takeaway:

 

He's one of only three quarterbacks to have a higher passer rating under pressure (104.7 versus 95.8 when free from pressure), and his difference between the two is the highest in the NFL. Rivers has been about average when not pressured, but is capitalizing on the fewer defenders in coverage when opponents send additional rushers, relying on his experience to make the right decision.

[Lancer1]

And with 3 more touchdown passes, he'll be tied with Dan Marino for #5 all time in NFL history.

For sure a WR in a team that's playing for nothing right now is a better pick up than Rivers. Nfl.com never disappoint...

On the other hand, Tommy Boy is folding like a lawn chair under pressure.

That is crazy. So much for him folding under pressure.  There is a good convo on the cover two podcast today on why he should be brought back.

He's been pretty good on my fantasy team this season. Probably a better fantasy prospect than Rivers.

[SpanosSucks]

How is Tom Brady better?  He’s playing with a loaded offense that should be similar to a 2013 Broncos and he’s underperforming because he can’t throw more than 20 yards

[Smoke317]

Rivers and Brady have to be 1a & 1b.

So i assume Buckner is #1.....

How he didn't make this list is disgraceful. 

[PrideOfAthens17]

Buckner isn't on it because it's a list of free agent signees. Buckner was acquired via trade. Otherwise, I agree that he'd have to be first.

Free agents only, not a transaction list or trade list

I really need to start reading the “fine print.”

What about rhodes

Has Rhodes been a game changing CB this season? It seems he has been pretty good for sure but his impact isn’t felt like a PR or even a TB or a Buckner. These guys have changed their teams ability. It’s true that TB has a loaded FA team but he has still mostly produced and made into a potential SB contending team.

We're talking about NFL, not fantasy. Rivers changed our chances this year, Anderson is playing good, changes nothing, Panthers are going nowhere.

Probably not top 10 in the NFL but he has been an under-rated addition to the team.  

 

He's one of the guys I'm worried about if we will be able to afford to keep him on next year.  He's proved himself and he's probably going to be looking for a 3 or 4 year deal with some security in it.  

 

River's might just re-up for a 1 year deal again . . . at his age and financial status he's probably likely preferential to having the freedom to move to a different team.

I've been as hard on him as anyone the first half of the season but no denying he has heated up in the 2nd half and is a big reason this team is heading in the right direction toward the playoffs.  He has a 100+ passer rating in 5 of his last 6 games.
