Why Philip Rivers Never Won a Super Bowl

[@ColtsPacers1]

Rivers' season in Indy was necessary in that Colts fans now appreciate him and his trash talk. We hated his mouth, but in one season that hate turned into love. He'll be known as a Charger as he should be, but I won't forget the one year he was a Colt.

[@afterfurtherreview975]

Wow, thanks for the Indiana insight. I've always wondered how Colts fans view him.

[@ColtsPacers1]

@@afterfurtherreview975 I think especially with the hindsight of how things played out with Wentz, Rivers would've been welcomed back with open arms.

[@snowman9642]

@@afterfurtherreview975 Colts fans don’t think that, they think the Colts have a sorry organization, releasing a proven Manning because they thought luck would give them 20 years of glory. followed by signing a washed up Rivers. Rivers had some stalked teams over the years, a playoff failure.

[@jpmnky]

@@snowman9642- They had a solid starter in Jacoby Brissett.

[@truthseekersthenewomega97]

​@@afterfurtherreview975fun fact The Clippers were also In San Diego At One Time😅

[@KORIGAN1]

Don’t forget Philip Rivers played in the modern afc with Tom Brady , Manning, Patrick Mahomes, big Ben , good luck getting to to the Super Bowl

[@NesDaze]

My boy Herbert close to realizing the same fate, and to think we passed on him 😢

[@afterfurtherreview975]

Forreal

[@AmirKhan-yv8jm]

Chargers are a snakebit franchise!

[@konnorrockkonnoisseur4970]

Brady and the Pats held SO many teams back. Chargers were no doubt the biggest victims

[@lizd.8655]

I didn't realize he was still playing as recently as 2021! He was definitely overshadowed by Brady, Manning, Roethlisberger, etc.

[@kimmeejack]

Losing the team in San Diego hurt deep!!! It was a terrible feeling. Lynn was horrible and when they let him go I became an Indy fan!

[@shaheemtaylor960]

Those chargers team were stacked but every time something happened in the playoffs. Missed FG one year. Defender fumbling the ball after catching an INT. LT getting hurt. Unfortunate events

[@jtramm55]

Marlin McCree fumbles back to pats after game-sealing int. SD public enemy #1

[@tyronecarr639]

Facts

[@mikeslimjimlim]

I didn’t watch this yet, but if I had two words, Marlon McCree

[@CorruptFileSports]

The 2009 Jets pass defense humbled that Chargers team so hard.

[@truthseekersthenewomega97]

Revis shut down Vincent Jackson so bad😅 Jim Leonard, In the backfield with Eric Smith , With Izzo & Harris in the middle man that defense was a monster! Mind you the chargers had beast of a defense as well! Shaun Philips, Shawn Merriman, Quentin Jammer, Jamal Williams, Luis Castillo, Jeaquese Ceasare, Eric Weddle, Steve Gregory, Offense: L T , Antonio Gates , Chris Chambers, Malcom Floyd , Darren Sproiles,

[@CorruptFileSports]

@@truthseekersthenewomega97 those chargers teams were so good. I made a video on the 2009 jets on my channel, check it out.

[@apex_prowler95]

Despite all that it took Nate Kaeding missing 3 fgs for the Jets to win. Guess you didn't see the game.

[@CorruptFileSports]

@@apex_prowler95 I saw that entire game live and I highlighted it in a video I have on my channel on the 2009 jets.

[@owfi]

Very underrated video. Good stuff 👍

[@exorphitus]

The 2010 chargers were this franchise in a nutshell. Only the Chargers could be #1 in both offense and defense and still somehow miss the playoffs.

[@AmirKhan-yv8jm]

A snakebit team!

[@jpmnky]

Man, he was great. And had probably the most unique throwing style I’ve seen.

[@Omar-ni5sf]

Biggest problem with Rivers was he couldn't throw off platform, like AT ALL. His unconventional (shot-put) throwing motion meant he had to basically have his feet set every time. This limited the playbook as you couldn't use him on rollouts. Opposing defenses knew that they didn't have to sack him, just hurry him, rather than scramble to throw he would often just panic and throw it into coverage. All that said, I still respect him for maximizing his potential, he was excellent at reading coverages, arguably better than Brady, because his skillset demanded that he get the ball out quick. In the end though his limitations were just too much to overcome.

[@afterfurtherreview975]

VERY good point. Thanks for bringing up his mechanics.

[@Omar-ni5sf]

@@afterfurtherreview975 Yeah its a shame because he was a pretty good athlete, especially prior to the ACL. But even if you watch his highlights, he basically never scrambled to THROW unless he knew he could reset his feet, which was rare.

[@raviolihands5347]

He got 11 kids i think he has no problem scrambling😂😂

[@Fy135_]

I’m a 27 yr old die hard since 10. The chargers never ever put a good line around Rivers to allow him to thrive out of the shotgun. His best o lines he was a top 5 QB statistically. They missed on Fluker missed on Feeney missed on Lamp. Joe Barksdale was good never great. King Dunlap was the best for his late years. Rivers got pure patch work o lines. Kenny Wiggins & Donovan Clark started on his O line. Those guys literally didn’t make it in the league

[@jessesmith-garcia5313]

Teams like 06 Chargers and 07 Patriots are why I hate football, more often than not, the great teams DON'T win the Super Bowl!

[@JadinMichaels]

The chargers didn’t lose 14-3 in 06. They lost 24-21 in the Divisional round against NE

[@rasheedsalaam3676]

14-3 was their record 😮

[@glennbosworth1423]

Because of a stupid error by a SD defensive back....

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Fascinating video! Well done!

[@brianfleming706]

As a Chargers fan, this video hurt to watch. Thank you for telling the story so I dont have to when my friends ask me how many rings we got :/

[@afterfurtherreview975]

My pleasure

[@bodgaard]

Rivers always played his heart out but they never quite had the pieces adjust right. Close but not quite. I remember one game where they were playing the Packers, Rivers threw for OVer 500 yards and STILL lost. I’m was thinking to myself, WTF ?

[@StackBidness]

Omfg idk why I’m just now finding out about Dan Marino not winning a Super Bowl 😂😂

[@fastydave]

1 and 7 vs the Patriots in his career. He only beat them in 08 when Brady was out with a knee injury. That's why he never won a SB

[@kimmeejack]

Diehard Rivers fan here!!!!!!

[@tycoon214]

Philip Rivers never beat Tom Brady in head-to-head matchups. Only time he beat the Patriots was in 2008 when Tom Brady was out with a knee injury the whole season.

[@raviolihands5347]

Rivers had the dumb luck of playing in a conference with brady manning and ben if he won a superbowl it would have to go through one if not ALL THREE! Talk abot ALL-MADDEN

[@Kings0424]

OMG for real

[@jessekauffman3336]

The chargers should have won a few Super Bowl they just had so much bad luck 14-2 cmon man

[@GabrielGuevara-ov4fd]

What's eli manny's record against the chargers

[@goldengoldy3987]

good video

[@jonesisnotarobot]

I can tell you right now. Special teams and the McCree's lost fumble in the AFCC.

[@av0605]

Two words Tom Brady

[@CKpremium1992]

Rivers never won a Super Bowl because we have the most incompetent management/ownership.. Eli was smart not to come to San Diego and he got two rings because of it.. and yes I’m a chargers fan.. it’s been a rough ride..

[@jessesmith-garcia5313]

Philip Rivers was the second coming of Dan Marino...Sadly!

[@STEPHEN1463]

Your voice sounds like a radio commentator

[@jeremykrause153]

The chargers did not lose 14-3 to the patriots. They lost 24 to 21.

[@Janny890]

One of his 10 kids will get that Lombardi

[@afterfurtherreview975]

lmfaooooo

[@rickyleon4961]

I like to think charges never move to la i know they moved

[@RASHONBOND973]

i find it very interesting how ppl make so many excuses for rivers but they bash guys like kirk cousins and dak prescott

[@007TheLife]

He didn’t play well enough in the 06 playoffs or the 09 playoffs.

[@Randomasf24]

i cut him sum slack both years fr cause 06 was his first year not many qbs play good in there first playoff run and in 09 the jets defense was just very elite they shut down palmer rivers manning brady and did well against ben in back 2 back years

[@andrewhamilton7331]

They probably could have won in 06 if Marty Shottenheimer wasn't a perennial loser. Also, he should have been fired for trying to ruin Drew's career (they were out of the playoffs when Brees got hurt) because he was in a pissing match with the gm over Rivers

[@CameronJohnson-w1j]

he never won a ring because he choked over and over again. missed the playoffs most of his career and could never deliver in the clutch.

[@Bestoftherest222]

My Boy Rivers never won a SB because the Spanos family. Incompetent "football" family that could never get out of their own way.

[@checkdown3774]

Rivers sucked that's why.

[@CameronJohnson-w1j]

somebody who has some sense Rivers was never the guy to get the job done. the biggest choke artist we have ever seen.

[@eMikerism]

he wasnt good enough
