WC Bias said:I'll accept that about Rivers, I only saw the GB game and he looked sharp to me. I still think he will be OK. But there is no way this is a superbowl O-line, even with Oben healthy. It isn't even an average line.
Maybe so, but it is the same line that was good enough to get Brees and LT to the Pro Bowl the last 2 years. It's not great, but it's good enough. Rivers' #'s were OK against GB but it was a lot of 2 yard passes that turned into 30 yard plays. He did have a nice throw to VJ in the corner of the end zone. Still, his ball flutters and does not get there with needed zip. And he is constantly under duress because he is so slow to get away from center. Maybe this is why he fumbled 2 snaps because he realizes he needs to speed it up.
