Playoffs
Hall of Fame
I've been thinking about this for a while, and last night's game encapsulated for me that belief that Rivers is the most competitive on-field/never-give-up QB who has the singular ability to impose his will on his team and push them to improbable victories like he pushes his passes. He's often doing more with less, and hangs in a dirty pocket as long as anyone.
The dude talks lip all game long no matter what the score is and never ever ever quits. He's generally annoying, too. 49ers had the Chargers down 21-0, 28-7 and Rivers never gave up.
Rivers entered the game with a bulging disc in his neck and a rib injury he's had for much of this year.
His Chargers managed to tie the game at 35 and won it in OT in spite of losing the toss. Fun to watch, you can't ever change channels.
Rivers does it ugly -- his throwing motion resembles a shot put and he plays fast & loose with the ball turning it over often. But the guy has the heart of a lion and is as competitive on the field as anyone I've seen at the QB position. Gotta love the guy, Bolo ties and all.
