I've never thought of San Diego Chargers' QB Philip Rivers as a 'franchise player'. He didn't look very good in the Bolts' loss to New England Sunday either. My buddy Pindawg thought his throws looked like he was throwing (pushing?) a shot-put. I said, "really?" Then Rivers made a 'pass' and I was convinced. We laughed. You shoulda been there cuz it really was a good time... But I digress.
Apparently Rivers went under the knife last week in order to even play in yesterday's AFC Championship. Though his knee was still a mess, he decided to play anyway. His ACL was, and I quote, "totally gone." That's what being a gamer is all about. But this begs the question: what's the better scenario? A starting quarterback at less than 50%, or a back-up quarterback at 100%?
He was visibly limping throughout the game and will be going back under the knife and will be back for training camp. (San Diego Union-Tribune)
