Strength of Schedule

The best rating is +16 which gives the player the advantage against the defense and indicates an easy opponent, the worst rating is -16 which gives the defense the advantage and indicates a tough opponent.
Fantasy Analysis

With the Chargers running game faltering at times in '08, Philip responded with a career year; no one threw for more touchdowns or came anywhere near his 105.5 passer rating. Not bad for a player drafted long after the Tom Brady's and Carson Palmer's as a QB2 in most fantasy leagues. His passing yards and touchdowns will come down to earth a bit, though, if the coachspeak promising a triumphant return to form by LaDainian Tomlinson is to be believed.

Passing: 3800 Yards, 28 TD, 13 INT.
Rushing: 70 Yards, 0 TD.

San Diego Chargers Team Talk
Yeah my chargers are 9-3 and doing great and have a good chance at the playoffs again this year. However I still hate Norv. I think he's a worthless pile of dog @#$@. I must say I would love to watch San Diego go and win out and win the ...
 
Was not even paying attention but saw a picture on ESPN and checked it out. The chargers are only 1 game out from 1st place now in that AFC West. Merriman is looking healthy, Rivers to VJAX has been amazing. Any way they can somehow pick up a run ...
 
FIRE NORV TURNER!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE THAT MAN. He has been a thorn in SD's side since the day he walked into San Diego. I've been complaining for the past 3+ seasons with him and want him out!!! Just wanted to vent and I just want that sorry ...
 
Physical resemblance aside, does this guy not remind you of Marion Barber in his running style?

Draft Analysis
Round 4, Pick 8
Positives
Led the league in passing TDs in 2008. Has a wide array of weapons at his disposal, including excellent receiving options at TE and RB. Rivers was a very efficient QB last season, throwing 34 TDs against just 11 INTs and a very strong 105.5 QB rating.
Negatives
Before 2008 Rivers was a consistent 3200/22 player for two seasons. If Tomlinson rebounds like people think he might, that will really cut into Rivers's TD production.
Draft Strategy
This was a very difficult pick, with many possible options sticking out at QB, WR, and RB. In the end, I looked at which position was likely to be the most differentiating, and the answer was clearly QB -- there aren't many QBs left with a chance to lead the league in TDs, and Rivers is one of them.
