brian,
the kid can throw better than any of the A's starting rotation!

Those tires have as good of hands as Chargers receivers..so Phil shoulda felt right at home...yeah I'm talkin to you Chris Chambers

I love an A's fan cracking on ANYONE... oh and how 'bout them Raiders, that's a quality franchise these days, eh. How many consecutive times have they lost to the Chargers? You may need an abacus to calculate that.

lordthew88, according to a poll on SBNation's official Raiders forum, Raiders fans consider Shane Lechler to be their second best player after Nnamdi Asomugha. On the other hand, I've never heard a Chargers fan proclaim Scifres to be their best player. Most would take half a dozen Chargers, such as Rivers, Gates, Tomlinson, Merriman, Williams, Cromartie, etc. before taking any punter in the NFL, because they are good players at important positions. You may be confusing that with the notion that Scifres is the best PUNTER in the NFL, including Lechler, which is true.

im a chiefs fan but
this is kinda stupid this means nothing
and this whole superstar gets beaten at his own camp thing is just
overblown

Yeah Rivers does suck I love it always get rated high at the beginning of the season only to Choke in the playoffs. Hahahahaha Dolts suck..........

Utterly one of the worthless articles I've ever read about sports. I can't believe Yahoo pays you to write this crap.

Hey Matthew S., you moron, Rivers only had the best passer rating and most TD throws in the NFL last year. In fact, his passer rating was the 13th best in the history of the NFL! That's history punk! This syupid is a Lebron james spinoff. Not a lot of anything else of substance to write bout in the NFL offseason. Except maybe another Brett Favre story. You must be a Raider fan, Matthew. I'm very sorry but be prepared for a crap season and you 12th loss in a row to the Chargers, PUNK!

who cares? lol and this makes news...grief

No big deal, its about consistancy, the kid got lucky on that day. C'mon lets be realistic, if 270lb lineman was chasing him from the blindside he wouldn't the broad side of a barnyard. Rivers would beat him 98/100 times in that combine. Besides Rivers is also just coming off the offseason, where I'm sure he banged a bunch of chicks and drank a ton of alcohol..

this is weak(week) like 7 days.

i cant believe raider fans can say a word about the chargers....who was even president last time the raiders beat the chargers...

Who Cares?

I'd rather Rivers get it done during the season vs. at an offseason summer camp myself. Knowing how he operates I bet he congratulated the kid on his performance too. He's a nice guy and a great QB - this is no big deal - unless you're a Bolt hater, then I'm sure it's the greatest thing you've ever read. Enjoy it while you can ;)

Post #4 Coach Thompson, after reading your post it is apparent why you coach, you're an idiot!!!!

Seriously, do you Raider fans actually think you have the right to say Rivers and the Chargers suck? We beat you 11 straight times. Rivers had the highest QB rating last season.
And thanks for the Wikipedia, Brian B...

Oakland sucks....the team AND the smelly pit of a city that it is. Raider fans do not even have the IQ to SPELL Chargers correctly let alone beat them on the field. Those Raider fans that DO have jobs usually have to work on Sunday anyway considering that they perform most of the low level retail sales/toilet repair-type jobs that preclude them from having the income to show up to the game live. Those that DO have the income to actually go see a game usually spend it on cheap beer and the bail that they have to pay after using jail-made weapons to attack unsuspecting fans. Yes it is true that San Diego has zero championships. I would much rather watch a 1975 Tommy Prothro-led pathetic Charger team from my beautiful beach side home in P.B. rather than gloat over an Oakland championship (as most Raider fans do, since they live in the past) either from the couch on their porch in south Central or from their jail cell.

The Raiders will suck until they get rid of the man( Al Davis) GO!!!!!!!!! Steelers

Rivers Is A Great QB, Who Cares About some stupid off the field incident?
If Philip gets beat by this guy in a Regular Season Nfl Game The I'll Be Interested

lol

Greg P, ur an idiot. The coach isiah thomas post was a mockery of the Mike Gundy triade, you ignorant donk. It was designed to be funny and it was. You're just an idiot.

Raiders are just mad cause hey know were gong to stomp them in there own house like always...and that lazt fatass your showing as a QB makes the LB want to lose weight.
Here is the real deal on Rivers in case you don't have a mind to read...
Pro Bowl selection (2006)
Senior Bowl MVP (2004)
ACC Athlete of the Year (2004)
ACC Rookie of the Year (2000)
Selected NFL statistics
(through Week 17 of the 2008 NFL season)
TD-INT 78-36
Passing yards 10,697
QB Rating 92.9 College: In his four year career at NC State University Philip played in five post season bowl games and won the MVP of all five games. His unbelievable achievements include 51 consecutive starts (No. 1 NCAA), 13,582 career total offense (No. 1 ACC/No. 2 NCAA), 95 career touchdown passes (No. 1 in ACC), completions/attempts of: 1087-of-1710 (Both ACC records), completion Percentage: .636% (ACC Record), passing Efficiency: 144.16 (ACC Record), 300-yard games: 18 (ACC Record) 400-yard games: 7 (ACC Record), +3000 passing seasons: 3 (ACC Record).. His statistics alone speak volumes about his talent; however, Philip displayed leadership in addition to skill by leading NC State to four winning seasons and four bowl game victories. Now with the San Diego Chargers, Philip’s intense desire to win will certainly make an impact in the National Football League.
And you don't think he might of missed for a reason: What is most striking about Philip is his personality. Philip has a genuine nature, positive attitude, and down-to-earth disposition. He loves to laugh and he loves people…it is obvious in how he carries himself off the field. Philip holds character and class in high regard, and he stands for honesty and integrity. He truly understands and exemplifies quality intangibles such as teamwork and leadership. Philip married his grade-school sweetheart, Tiffany, and they are the proud parents of their two year old daughter Halle. According to Philip, family comes first. For the last four years, Philip Rivers has given the young people of Raleigh, North Carolina a role worth modeling. In the years to come, Philip’s legacy will be taken to a national level.
