No. 6 – Philip Rivers
The “narrative” in the NFL is, as long as you have a top tier quarterback you have a chance to win the Super Bowl. In many ways, Rivers has been the exact opposite of Peyton Manning this season. He has a 70 percent completion percentage to go along with 2,116 yards and 12 touchdowns.
While those numbers look great, the only number that matters is two. That’s the number of wins Rivers has led his team to through six games.
Rivers was without his security blanket, Antonio Gates, for the first four weeks of the season. However, the Chargers have dropped both games since Gates returned to the lineup. Their only wins have come against the 2-4 Browns and 1-5 Lions.
