Juan Eye On Philip Rivers

Via Juan Elway  |  October 06, 2012
If I fail this week, this kid might be on the Waiver Wire Juan… I think I am at the point that if Rivers can’t go off this week against the Saints, then he is dead to me.  They have allowed nearly 20 points a game to opposing QBs and that includes a 5 points disaster from Matt Cassel.
