I wouldnt go that far.Rivers isnt quite as good as Favre yet.He's close but not quite there yet.Its going to be a lot tougher for him to get to the superbowl now since those idiots in management got rid of L.T and Norv is just a an average so/so coach.He's got to find a way to get there first before I can rank him as good as Rodgers but he is vey close to being almost as good as Rodgers.You got to remember Rivers doesnt have a an outstanding receiving core to throw to like Rodgers does.Rodgers has so many weapons to throw to while Rivers really only has Gates so the comparison is kind of unfair.
The Chargers defense has gone downhill the last couple years as well while The Packers have an excellent defense.You got to remember Rivers had to carry that team on his shoulders this year.He had no running game with the loss of L.T and again the defense is not that great.Put him on the packers squad as the starter with a good coach like Rodgers has, and he would have had them in the superbowl as well this year easily.
Rivers is just like Dan Fouts and John Hadyl. Easy to do in San Diego
Puts up big numbers in the regular season and folds in the playoffs. Until he puts up big numbers in a big game....I count him out
well to that logic you got to take Dan Marino off the list as well then.Dont remember Hadyl,but he was just like Fouts as well.Every big game he was in,he stunk up the joint and he never won a superbowl,Favre did. Put Rivers and Marino in his prime on that Packers team that Rodgers had this year,they get the same result Rodgers did and thats another Qb I would also take over Favre as well is Fouts.Like Marino,he was a great quarterback in his prime.
Also dont forget,Rivers played hurt in that AFC loss against the patriots that year when the pats went 16-0 and undefeated till they lost the superbowl.the three best players of the chargers of that game,Rivers,Gates and L.t were ALL hurt otherwise that game against the 16-0 patriots would have been much closer.
added that last paragraph on.How did he lose to the jets at home? Welll that wasnt his best game no doubt but again He isnt ENTIRELY to blame for that loss.Its a team game.The offensive line and others contributed as well.again its not like he was entirely to blame for that loss unlike that QB Dieter Brock of the LA Rams was in that 85 NFC loss to the bears whom that idiot John Robinson loved so much he thought he was a better qb than reliable Jeff Kemp. Being a die hard LA Rams fan,i remember that very well-"hate them the most now since they moved,may that owner suffer and burn in hell for that." or Marc Wilson was the same year in the Raiders first round loss ironically to the patriots that same year as well.
and have you already forgotten that kicker of theirs always chokes in big games? He did that as well another time also when Bree's was their quarterback losing the first round game to the jets back then.you havent all ready forgotten that have you? you cant win close games when your kicker chokes all the time as Brees found out when he was there.
You didnt address Dan Marino though.again if Rivers is a bad quarterback for not putting up big numbers in a big game,then so is Dan Marino.
Thats like saying Rod Carew wasnt one of the greatest baseball players in major league baseball history because he never made it to the world series.
