I don't expect him to repeat 34 and 11 but he's still a top QB. His numbers probably won't be replicated but it's hard to replicate a good season like that.

Rivers has a better passer rating than Eli no? Isn't he more mobile too? He just doesn't have a ring.

Rivers is a better QB than Eli. He hasn't won a Super Bowl, but he is still great.

Rivers is a better player.

in what ways exactly?

Passer rating, yards, TD passes, avoiding the sack, and maybe more. I think the only way in which Eli has accomplished more is in winning a ring, and that's really not the best judge of who's a better QB. I mean, you're not going to tell me that QB's like Jim McMahon and Ben Roethlisberger are better than Dan Marino, are you?

and by not winning a ring its irrelevant what he has done statistically. all the fans want is a championship (and then another and another...). I dont care if he breaks every passing record possible for a single game and for a season this year. If they dont win a super bowl it doesnt matter.

i dont care about stats. rivers nor manning deserves a 90 mill contract. if stats were the case, drew brees would make 90 mill a year. at least manning has a ring and good team around him. rivers has no ring.

Charlie Batch has two Superbowl rings, is he a better QB then Rivers? After all, he did what it takes to win, if by that you mean signing with a team that won the big one.
