How do people not get the Rivers hate? He whines like a baby to the refs after nearly every play. He throws tantrums on the field and on the sideline. He screams at his own players when they mess up.
I hate him so much that he has singlehandedly made me hate the Chargers almost as much as the Broncos and Raiders. [Reply]

I think he's one of the good guys of the NFL - OFF THE FIELD.
On it, I wouldnt want him anywhere close to my franchise. For all the things you said, plus he chokes in big-time situations (worse than Peyton ever did), and once the pocket falls apart, he's done. [Reply]

He's just the second coming of Dan Marino.
Just not as talented as Marino, and not as terrible of a teammate as Jeff George. [Reply]

I don't care what he does off the field. Can't stand to watch him on it. [Reply]

Peters is off the charts for me at this point. If Edelman were on, say, the 49ers, I'd be completely agnostic toward him.
Talib. AB. Crabtree as a Raider. Jalen Ramsey could work his way into that category if his smack-talking becomes an annual thing.
Couldn't disagree more. Throwing tantrums doesn't make you intense. Teammates aren't going to take bullets for a guy having a meltdown. Doesn't make him hated. But I hate when people claim he's so respected and likeable. That's not being fiery. That's a guy who can't control his temper. [Reply]
