In case you didn't hear
Phillip Rivers was selected by the New York Giants with the 4th overall pick in the NFL draft. He and two additional draft pucks were then traded to the San Diego Chargers for the number one pick, Eli Manning, who is the little brother of the best quarterback in the NFL last season.
Rivers is going to compete for the starting job against last season's starter, the solid Drew Brees, and the veteran survivor (not a reality tv reference) Doug Flutie. He is playing for the coaching staff that coached his team in the Senior Bowl this year (where Rivers took MVP honors), which bodes well for his chances.
Should he win the starting job, he will have one of the best running backs in the league to give the ball to in Ladanian Tomlinson, but he'll have a below average group of receivers to throw the ball to. You just can't expect much from the worst team in the league last year.
Anyway, I'm still pulling for the Panthers, who will play the Chargers this coming season. Should Rivers be the Chargers' quarterback at that time, I'm sorry, but I hope he gets sacked a lot.
I'll pull for him in every OTHER game.
