Brady on Caldwell on SD's Opinion of the Pariots

[DaBruinz]

From PR's Wikipedia: Philip Rivers


On November 12, 2006, Rivers had the best game of his short career and led the San Diego Chargers to an improbable comeback against the Cincinnati Bengals. Down 28-7 at Halftime, Rivers led the Chargers on six drives culminating in touchdowns. Rivers himself threw three touchdown passes, while LaDainian Tomlinson scored three of his four rushing touchdowns. San Diego outscored Cincinnati 42-13 in the second half winning the game 49-41. Then the very next week against a strong Denver Broncos defense, the Chargers became the first team in history to win back-to-back games after trailing by 17 or more points and also the first team to win four straight when allowing at least 24 points in each game. Rivers led several 4th quarter comebacks in 2006, and posted the league's highest 4th quarter quarterback rating. Rivers was selected to the 2007 NFL pro-bowl as recognition for his winning ways and comeback ability.

Hmm.. That quote does NOT say that Rivers led the comebacks. Just because he was the QB, doesn't mean that it wasn't the defense that keyed them.

OK. Rivers didn't LEAD the comebacks. He merely took the snaps from center, dropped back, made the correct reads when he needed to, hit all of the necessary throws, and sometimes those throws were for touchdowns.

And yeah... the defense finally did stop the other team from scoring enough times to allow the offense to score more points than the other team.

So, in retrospect... Rivers didn't LEAD the team to those comebacks.

Just like Tom Brady didn't lead the Patriots to any Superbowl wins. I mean, just because they won those Superbowls, doesn't mean that it wasn't the defense, special teams, or even almighty god that keyed them.
