Weird NFL rumor

Jon Russell 30 March 2005 03:20:43
 San Diego trades Rivers to the 49ers in exchange for their first round pick.

Why would the Chargers do this and who would they draft in that slot?

 Yeah, Jon Russell <jonruss63tcov@yaho­o.com>, well... that's just
like... your opinion man.

Why would the Chargers do this and who would they draft in that slot?

I think the Chargers would have to give up a little more than Rivers
to get the #1 overall pick... say Rivers and a 3rd round pick.

If I was them, I'd pick either Edwards or M. Williams. If not a
receiver, then go defense and pick the LB from Texas.

Normally I'd agree with you, but the salary cap implications (great for
SF) may have them settling for less than they'd otherwise get.
If I was them, I'd pick either Edwards or M. Williams. If not a> receiver, then go defense and pick the LB from Texas.

They wouldn't need to go anywhere near #1 overall to get Johnson. The
highest he could possibly go is #3, it's looking like, and he could
last well past that.

I am still amazed that they trade Eli to get Rivers..and would find the idea
of teh Niners dealing the chance of getting Rodgers or even Smith just to
get Rivers kinda silly.

They do seem rather confused though in retrospect that Michael Vick trade
looks pretty smart it just took a while to be obvious

Ya and you must be among the 1/2% of people on the planet that actually
believe he would have sat out.

If San Francisco wants a franchise QB..Rivers does not have the upside that
Rodgers has.

I have never been enamored with Rivers and his goofy throwing motion at all.

One more time..your ONE source does not say what you are saying it says.
Your ONE source says "some scouts" which does not equate to your obvious
view that is that most scouts/experts/insi­ders/whatever view Rivers as the
better prospect then Rodgers. Simply put I don't read that anywhere and it

Not as stupid as bashing Rivers for his unorthodox throwing motion.

Um...your right. It is not as stupid because bashing Rivers for his goofy
throwing motion is not stupid in anyway. Babble about how many games Leaf
won as a rookie as a means of arguing about Eli is just silly. Rivers'
goofy throwing motion WILL lead to balls batted down. Don't see that? Then
STFU and start actually watching football games.

You are also wrong in both cases. In fact when Elway came into the NFL he
was the highest rated QB in the history of the draft.

Um...top pick in the draft get's time to develop. You haven't been

That they thought Rivers the better prospect points to the general ineptness
of the Chargers scouting. Nothing new. They have been a draft day mess for
years. Now they are basically paying too much at the QB position. In a way
it sorta hurt them that Brees had his amazing transformation last year from
fast track to out of the league to Pro-Bowl.

I am not having trouble..trouble would suggest effort is actually being
made. Whereas you have provided ONE source that says some scouts..and you
still don't seem to grasp that "some scouts" is not the same as MOST
SCOUTS..since the obvious is that Rodgers is better.

Yes I get that. I got that the first time...except that you in the first
place didn't say that "some scouts" said anything. You said something
completely different. And your something completely different is not the
same as what you are pretending is stated in this futile example.

Jeez, you are Jarosian. I never said they shouldn't be compared. I bashed
your stupid comparison because it was meaningless. By your bizarre
reasoning I guess Ben is the greatest prospect in NFL history.
Rivers'>> goofy throwing motion WILL lead to balls batted down. Don't see>> that?> Then>> STFU and start actually watching football games.>
I watched Elway's goofy throwing motion in 5 super bowls (winning 2 of> them). Watched Marino set passing records with his unorthodox passing.> Watched Roethlisberger win 15 straight games with his side-winder.> What's your point?>

My point is you don't know wtf you are talking about. Elway and Marino did
not have goofy throwing motions.

Bo did not have a previously signed Major League Baseball contract at
the time he was drafted by Tampa Bay. He had been playing on the
Auburn baseball team just shortly before the NFL draft. Professional
baseball players were not allowed to play NCAA sports in the SEC back
at that time.
