Thats kind of hard to believe with his name in your tag name.

But I think right now these two are the front runners.

SD vs IND is going to be huge. I think the loser could miss the playoffs. Especially the Chargers.

I am bias for Vick but Rivers is playing at a higher level.

For the Chargers I'd take Rivers I don't think anyone pushes the ball down the field as well as Rivers, which is the staple of this offense.

Both have been lights out. Only knock on Vick for me has been durability.

Rivers is the better down field thrower and Vick is the more dynamic player. Take your pick.

How do you feel about Norv as a coach and his impact on Rivers?

I think he's a great qb mentor a great coordinator and maybe the best game day playcaller in the league. As a head coach he leaves a lot to be desired.

Somebody noted earlier that vick only played in 5 full games this season. Well in those 5 games he has 1608 pass yards on 191 att 11 td's 0 ints. 375 rushing yards on 55 att 5 more td's. That's 1983 yards 16 td's and 0 ints in 5 games (ill give u 6 since he played a couple qtrs against Gb and a piece of qtr against the skins 1st time around)

Now since u like projecting rivers stats and bragging about what he is on pace to do, why don't u project those stats and tell us what vick stats would be say he played all 10 games like rivers or what he would be on pace to do if he played 16 games like rivers probably will.

Now that's to take nothing away from rivers cause he is playing swell. It's just to shed some light on vick cause it seems yall don't really realize his value especially when yall think its no contest between him and rivers....that's crazy

I'm go say rivers is mvp out the two as of right now because vick has missed time but if I had to choose between the two, vick is my qb. He can do everything rivers is doing considering if he threw the ball 50+ times a game twice and 40+ a couple more games plus he can get u yards on the ground.

Vick is not the passer Rivers is. Particularly throwing the intermediate and deep balls with accuracy. I don't even think that's debatable.

If I'm not mistaken he's only short of pace on Marino's yard record by only 1 yard even with a less than stellar game yesterday yards wise.
