Agree! Rivers look pretty solid to me. Not that he was perfect but he came out playing like a champ. Made some really nice plays.
That said, the talk of AJ might have been a little premature... maybe but although his numbers didn't really show it a lot of that was not on him. He threw away a lot of passes because nobody was open and although it looks bad on paper that is actually something a lot of QB's never seem to learn how to do.
I feel real good about all three of them after what was shown.
Here is something we haven't seen and was shown by all three of them. Throwing perfect strikes to deep WR when they were covered and NONE of those throws were intercepted due to perfect placement.
Sometimes the situation just call for you to trust your wr's and an int is as good as a punt.
Numerous times and I don't mean just two or three I would turn to my wife and we would say that was a beautiful pass even though on paper it is an incompletion.

This is one of the reasons I hate when people use completion percentage as a way to assess a QB's accuracy. Meanwhile QB's completion percentage is reduced by WR drops, WRs running the wrong route on a timing throw, and also WRs falling down if they slip in a break. On the flip side, they also get inflated by amazing catches by WRs. Instead of looking at stats, to judge a QB's accuracy you really have to know the play called and watch the film to see if the ball was placed where it was supposed to be/should have been. Also, you have to watch where the defenders are to know if the QB was trying to "throw the receiver open" instead of just throwing to a spot.
Bottom line, looking purely at a completion percentage stat line is a poor and lazy way to judge accuracy.
