WRONG... It all starts on the lines... You build from there and then out.... A good/great QB is only as good as his O-line. FACT......


True, but it is a hell of a lot easier to build an O-line than it is to find a proven all-pro QB.

Rivers is 33. The ultimate question is how confident are you that the he has at least 5 more good years left vs. how confident are you that Mariota is a franchise QB?

Mettenberger is irrelevant here. As an LSU guy I'd love to see him succeed. But honestly I see him as Ryan Mallet 2.0. He's got good size and a great arm. He'll make a few really nice throws, but he he doesn't have the complete package to be a long term franchise QB. There's a reason he was picked in the 6th round of a QB desperate-league, and there are VERY few Tom Bradys out there.

Sorry but this is not even a question.. Its a what have you done for me lately league... Id take Rivers in a heartbeat... I just don't get the love for Mariota... He is no different than Johnny Football.....

I agree with this... A good backup for Rivers IF the trade happens.......

Please don't ever compare Mett to Mallet. The latter is a head case. Mett at least has the potential to lead.
