Phillip Rivers and the Chargers are essential pretenders

Dave Berkson
   Every year the San Diego Chargers start off quickly with a solid record and then they play the De ver Broncos. This past Thursday saw another mid season beating of a Phillip Rivers team at the hands of a Peyton Manning Broncos team that can just score at will Philip Rivers is wondering how and when can one of his teams appear at the big show in February and it seems as long as these other great older quarterbacks refuse to retire dudes like Rivers and others will never see opportunities for Super Bowl appearances. He can put up all the huge numbers for a number of years but without a Super Bowl ring he knows his name will never be mentioned in a listing as the NFLs best.
The Chargers are often pretenders failing in the playoffs and starting off fast only to drop late in the season and often missing the playoffs despite fast starts. I still pick this team often for the Super Bowl mainly out of hope that there will be some fresh teams to make the big game. You also need great quarterbacks these days to make the Super Bowl and at the end of the year yo can be guaranteed that Phillip will be among the top performers at the quarterback position. Whether it is coaching or something lacking with their overall game against other powers n the league. This is just a franchise that has problems getting over the hump and performing at an exiguous level well below the potential of the talent that exists. Phillip Rivers is getting aggravated and if they don't get anywhere near the Super Bowl this year he needs to start looking elsewhere and packing his bags for another NFL destination that doesn't have to worry about playing Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos
