Philip Rivers

Team: Indianapolis Colts

Example Rookie Card: 2004 Topps Chrome #230

Current Raw eBay Buy It Now: $60

Verdict: Sell

Before catching on with the Colts this year, Rivers was the Chargers starting quarterback for 14 seasons, during which he earned 8 Pro Bowl selections.  A fair number of commentators consider Rivers a future Hall of Famer, but I do not think that he will make it.  His lifetime passer rating is just 95, he has won only five playoff games, and he is notorious for his prickly personality.  None of these traits will help him when it comes time to evaluate his case for Canton.  Finally, fair or not, Rivers has played in the same era as some of the greatest quarterbacks to ever live.  When comparing him to Manning, Brady, Brees, and Rodgers, he does not come close.  Rivers is a sell for me.
