Could Philip Rivers be in Play?

He isn’t going to be avalible

I can’t stand Rivers! And I still back Sanchez as our franchise QB going forward. Eliminate one or two mistakes a game and he’s having his best year so far – hell, even with the mistakes his stats are better than the first two years. Against Denver, he completed 60% of his passes for 252 yards and one pick – most QBs would call that a decent day. Granted, it was a pick six, but with that and the NE one, I can’t help feeling if the receiver (Burress or Kerley) had made ANY effort to come back to/fight for the ball, they both could have been prevented.

If Mannings becomes available, maybe, but I’m not even sure I like that idea. It leaves us in a kind of Favre situation where we have to trade up to take a gamble on a new franchise QB in a couple years. Then what – we ask Peyton to stay on as his mentor? If he’s willing to do that, the Colts should just keep him around to help Luck for a couple seasons. Personally, I still don’t quite buy the modern idea that a #1 or Top 10 QB has to play right away – too many QBs are ruined that way. Of the current elite QBs, ALL of them (except Manning) got to sit and watch behind an experienced pro before being thrust into the staring lineup – Brees, Brady, Rivers, Rodgers, etc.

Those two players have basically single handedly ruined the Jets season. They are the worst players on their respective sides of the ball and all the other teams OC or DC has to do is sit there and exploit them all game.

Line your best pass rusher…not even a good one, just whoever you think is best on your team (See Matt Roth) and line them up against Wayne Hunter to have Sanchez on his back consistently. Then if you want to make things really scary throw a blitz to Wayne Hunter’s side and watch him and Matthew Mulligan(The extra blocker that sucks at blocking but are handcuffed to put into the game to try and make up for Wayne Hunter’s sucking.) painfully try to block anything at all.

Then you have Eric Smith who is a liability every time he steps on the field. All you do is send an athletic RB or TE out for a pass and then throw it at whomever Smith is attempting to try and cover. The guy shouldn’t be starting on a win now team because he makes it far too easy for other teams to exploit us. Last week was the icing on the cake, because many people admitted smith sucked in coverage, but praised his ability against the run. Actually I’m still too disgusted with the play to talk about it but suffice to say you saw the game, Smith was not good..

I’m just curious if someone can explain why when we are bashing Sanchez so much, we just assume we can make him a headline of a package to trade for a franchise or potential franchise qb(luck) … I feel that the same time we are bashing him and saying he isn’t good, we just assume that another team doesn’t think this

Sorry for putting this in a comment of your post it just relates to the topic and just a question I had

Come on. We’re trying to run a predictable, bland, pop-gun offense around here. Rivers is gonna want to stretch the field and throw deep once in a while. We don’t tolerate that type of turbulence in our high precision offense.

Besides, do you realize how tough you’re making it on opposing defenses when they have to account for plays that extend more than 10 yards? Please… We’re sticking with the Sanchize.
