I'm not impressed any more than I'm impressed when Eli manages to snag a ring or Cutler (or Bulger or McNabb or the aging Favre or Schaub or Vince Young) are being touted as elite based on empty yardage and passing stats while repeatedly failing to accomplish anything meaningful from a team perspective... I guess that is why fantasy football holds zero fascination for me. It's not remotely related to the NFL game that does fascinate me on or off the field. Where the true value player is the one who finds ways to facilitate winning as a team.
How is anything that happened from a team perspective over in San Diego the fault of Rivers? Personally, I'd be more inclined to lay that blame at the feet of A.J. Smith. After all, there's only so much that leadership can accomplish when you have holes and question marks on the O-Line to start the season, multiple holes at WR, a RB that hasn't worked out (be it lack of production or injury) so far, and a defense that has holes and question marks at OLB, ILB, and at safety. I haven't seen you lay the blame entirely at the feet of Tom Brady for the 2009 team, for example. Why are you so willing to do it to Rivers for the current outlook of the 2010 Chargers when it's obvious that he's doing the best with what he's been given to work with?
By the way, you don't have to be a fantasy football player to appreciate both individual and team accomplishments. You just have to be a fan of the game in general.
