Philip Rivers Last Year in SD

San Diego Chargers quarterback, Phillip Rivers is entering his tenth NFL season with the Chargers. Ten may very well be Rivers last season with the Chargers, if he does not throw the bolts to the playoffs in the 2013 season.

The sad thing is Rivers was a premier quarterback about three years ago, WHEN THEY HAD TALENT!  San Diego has continued to lose important players such as; Ladanian Tomlinson, Darin Sproles, Vincent Jackson, Antonio Cromartie.  Need I say more?  Well, there is more…San Diego has an awful offensive line.  Rivers was sacked a total of 49 times last season.  That’s three sacks a game people.

San Diego MUST draft an explosive player that can come in right away and help out Rivers so he can keep his job in Cali.  The NFL draft is set to start Thursday, April, 25.  They hold the 11 overall pick. 

A team can certainly find a future NFL star with a top 15 pick.  I suggest San Diego take a look at wide receiver, Tavon Austin, from West Virginia University.  Austin is a playmaker! An athlete!(WATCH IT TO YOUR RIGHT) You can’t go wrong.  Yeah drafting a solid lineman would be the “smart” pick, but I see Rivers having a similar downhill season, such as last if he doesn’t receive offensive weapons immediately. 

Whatever the pick may be…San Diego better be smart about it or Rivers is destine to have another bad season.

In the past two seasons Rivers has a total of 35 interceptions.  One more year of 15+ INT’s and a sub-par record may have the franchise looking to move on from good ol cocky Phillip.  I don’t think it is fair to Philip, in reality, when put in a good situation he is a top ten quarterback easily.  San Diego just isn’t the same as what they were…unless they prove otherwise in the 2013 season.
