Philip Rivers - Bolts' Rivers will have full plate
The Huddle — San Diego Chargers head coach Mike McCoy said the team will ask QB Philip Rivers to play a huge role in reducing the learning curve for the rest of the bodies on offense this year. 'We're going to throw as much of the offense as Philip can handle,' McCoy said. 'When he tells us to slow down, we'll slow down.' Rivers said the practices with new head coach McCoy have been designed for more intermediate passes than in recent years. Huddle Up: McCoy, a first-time head coach, is right to lean on Rivers with all the new faces on the roster. Meanwhile, though, Rivers will be leaning on his offensive...

Would you rather Alex Smith or Tony Romo running your team?
Arrowhead Pride — Last week for my weekly column, I posed the question of whether you would rather have the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback be Alex Smith of Philip Rivers. I'll continue the trend this week with another hotly contested quarterback, this time of the Dallas Cowboys. Would you rather Smith or Tony Romo under center for the Chiefs this season? Smith or Rivers? Let's start with Romo. The former undrafted free agent out of Eastern Illinois has put together a very solid and polarizing career. In his seven years as a starter, Romo has thrown for over 25,000 yards and 177 touchdowns, incl...

May 13, 2013Chargers HC Mike McCoy wants to help QB Philip Rivers complete 70 percent of his passes
FFToolbox.com — Philip Rivers was one of the most productive quarterbacks in the league from 2008 through 2010. He averaged 30 touchdowns and just 11 interceptions to go with about 4,300 passing yards. After a couple of down years, Chargers head coach Mike McCoy thinks Rivers can be that good again and that he can be even better in one department: completion percentage. McCoy told Sports Illustrated's Peter King that if Rivers trusts McCoy's system, a bigger diet of short passes will help Rivers complete 70 percent of his throws this season. Rivers' career high in completion percentage is 66.0. FANTASY ANALYS...

Would you rather Alex Smith or Philip Rivers running your team?
Arrowhead Pride — Like all of you, I spend way too much time thinking about the future fortunes of the Kansas City Chiefs. How many yards will Jamaal Charles run for this year?

When I got to the San Diego Chargers, I started pondering...would I rather have Smith or Philip Rivers?

2013 NFL Draft: Top 15 Picks Are In The Books
Stampede Blue — Chargers No. 11 pick - OT D.J. Fluker (Alabama) Another pick, another big boy off the board. The Chargers offensive line is hurting badly and losing Louis Vasquez in free agency was a big blow. The selection of Fluker is safe and adds some stability for Philip Rivers and the run game. Fluker should come in and immediately be a starter. This is the third Alabama prospect (in a row) that has been drafted. Fluker has started 36 games for the Crimson Tide. Raiders No. 12 pick (from MIA) - CB D.J. Hayden (Houston) A lot of Colts fans were hoping for D.J. Hayden to fall to No. 24, but the ...

The San Diego Chargers Need a Better Backup Quarterback
Bolts From The Blue — No, not Tim Tebow. With so many holes needing to be filled around Philip Rivers, everybody seems to be forgetting the big glaring hole behind him: Backup Quarterback. While backup QB may not be a top priority for the Chargers, it shouldn't be thrown aside so easily. For as bad as the offensive line played last year, it was a miracle that Rivers didn't suffer a serious injury. Different teams have different needs when it comes to backup quarterbacks. Some choose to have a veteran with experience who can contribute in the meeting room as well as on the field. Other teams choose to go wi...
