sprewell43 0 Posted September 27, 2011 Sorry, guys, but I've watched him for 3 games now. Stick a fork in him. In a year where throwing for 350 yards is becoming the norm, this guy cant do anything. Right now I'm trying to trade him for a bad of potato chips - no takers though. Glad I burned a 2nd round pick in two leagues... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldspice dwarf 0 Posted September 27, 2011 I just put your 'jump to conclusions' mat in the mail, that'll be $19.99. He'll finish as a top 10 QB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

t-birdie 8 Posted September 27, 2011 I was just talking to a guy at work. He's 3-0 and the high scorer as well. He has QB trouble though. Freeman and Cassel. He also has Gronkowski and TGonzalez. I told him to wait until TGonzalez has a good week and package him with JFreeman and approach the Rivers owner who is probably disillusioned right now. San Diego got off to a crappy start last year too - what'd Rivers finish? 4th best QB or something? Rivers is an awesome buy-low candidate right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted September 27, 2011 I have Rivers and Stafford. I'd most likely deal Stafford before I dealt Rivers. Rivers ALWAYS starts off slow and usually has to play from behind to post obscene numbers. Facing the sh!tty K.C. team, they ran up some points and eased off. It wasn't necessary for Rivers to play 'huge'. Take your meds and give it a couple weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's pissed over the trade and sour on Rivers now after watching cheap QBs like Fitz outscore Rivers every week. He had to franchise tag him for way too much money, otherwise I'd be looking to trade back for Rivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With Backus covering his blind side, you could be cringing quite a bit when watching Stafford. Jared Allen destroyed Stafford a couple of times this past weekend. In the first half Allen was toying with Backus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Gladstone 33 Posted September 27, 2011 Blasphemous! Rivers is an elite QB and the best active quarterback without a ring. This is right up there with the Hakeem Nicks is a bust post.

cjv4 0 Posted September 28, 2011 Rivers will figure it out. He always does. I'm hoping it will be this week though, as I am going up against the other 3-0 guy in my league and we are both pretty even in points for/against. Luckily, I've had big games from McFadden, Austin and Matthews to cover a bit for Rivers, but I need him to start coming up big now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kent 228 Posted September 28, 2011 Rivers is also playing with no Sproles, and now likely no Gates for a stretch. He might actually have a down year by his standards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mathja 0 Posted September 28, 2011 I just traded MJD, Rothlisberger and Ingram for Rivers and Mendenhall. I feel like Rivers is too good to not finish top 5 or 6 among fantasy qbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jarvis Basnight 119 Posted September 28, 2011 I just traded MJD, Rothlisberger and Ingram for Rivers and Mendenhall. I feel like Rivers is too good to not finish top 5 or 6 among fantasy qbs. I don't like that trade for you. Rivers will outplay Roethlisberger but by how much? Meanwhile Mendenhall looked horrible on Monday night, and his backups looked a lot more decisive and better. MJD should be every bit as good as Mendenhall and Ingram could be the wildcard. You may really wish you hadn't done that later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigtraine 24 Posted September 28, 2011 He has 979 yards in 3 games. Extrapolating that out, he is on pace for 5,221 yards this year. The sky is not falling. If the Rivers owner is selling, I would be buying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sprewell43 0 Posted October 25, 2011 This thread and topic is back again. Please, someone, refute this!! You can't. If you wasted a high pick with Rivers you are 2-5, 3-4, maybe 4-3 max. He sux. Period. Live with it. I am... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antiramie 50 Posted October 25, 2011 Drafted him over Brees in the 2nd round. Before this week started... traded Eli, AP, & DJax for Miles Austin (19 yards) and Ray Rice (1st fumble in 500+ carries). Poor decision making and bad timing = 2-5 and not looking better anytime soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msudavedawg 5 Posted October 25, 2011 I thought he and VJax would be the studs to own this year and I was upset on missing them in all my drafts. Now not so much. Still think they are both buy low candidates. SD always seems to come on strong down the stretch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the spanker 28 Posted October 26, 2011 We'll see I guess. I just sold Vjax and Little for Djax and Owens, I needed a top TE. I'm in a PPR return league so hopefully that balance this trade out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlvinGreeneAllStars 0 Posted October 26, 2011 In a 14 team PPR league and I traded Rivers and Cadillac Williams for Ryan Matthews and Sam Bradford. Already had Kolb and Dalton and am willing to roll the dice that Rivers just doesn't have it this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted October 26, 2011 I dealt him and Mendy for Fred Jackson to the Romo owner 3-4 weeks ago (reversing my decision to sell Stafford before Rivers). Since Stafford got knicked up, I decided to try to buy low on Rivers. Got Rivers back for R. Gronkowski (the guy is cutting bait on Dallas Clark and I'm keeping Fred Davis with Cooley on IR) so I guess it's a Win - Win (if Rivers turns it around). Not too bad of a Rivers hedge fund.

After 7 freegin pretty crappy games from a guy that was supposed to be clearly in the Teir-1 category and was drafted as such? Top 10 QB? In what league? One where mediocre numbers and some bad picks count as positive points? Hes also KILLING the value of V-Jax and the other SD WRs. Fock Rivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
