NFL  > San Diego Chargers  > Ryan Leaf vs. Phillip Rivers
May 15, 2009, 06:13 PM
Ryan Leaf was a bust when he entered the NFL years ago. He was just a terrible quarterback. I'm not saying Phillip Rivers is a bad player. But aren't there alot of comparisons of Rivers to Leaf. They both look kind of the same. And while Leaf was just bad and talked alot. Isn't it a little of Rivers the same though. But there is no question Rivers is a better QB.

This might be the dumbest thread ever. You are a **** ****?

May 16, 2009  11:44 PM ET

You are a **** ****!!!

I guess you can't say what I wanted to. You get the message.

You must live on the planet where idiots are born. You need to take up feather-dusting for sport & profit.

May 18, 2009  02:47 PM ET

All of the above and then some.

May 19, 2009  10:37 AM ET

What a **** ****!

Anyone who tries to use Ryan Leaf and Philip Rivers in the same sentence should be banned from ever making another post. I don't even need to justify it past saying go look up a **** stat sheet you ignorant POS.

Bro, you should really be embarrassed.

Let's compare Hitler to Mother Teresa next. They both have dark hair. That is kind of the same, isn't it?

Yep - they are both males - they were both drafted into the NFL- they are both QB's - they both have attitude problems - that is where the comparison ends though.

As far as their game - I won't go into the game differences because of the obvious fact that there are NO comparisons in ANYBODY'S game to compare to Leafs.

I'm wondering how proud Leafs daddy must be to know his son is the #1 bust in the NFL -- EVER.

Daddy must be thinking - "At least he's #1 at SOMEthing"

I can't believe you gave this thread the least bit of creditability. Attitude problem? Rivers may not play with the same attitude of a traditional QB, but that does not mean he has an attitude problem. He's a VERY fired up competitor. From his own mouth, never says anything he couldn't tell his wife or kids.

Uniqueness is not a character flaw.

However, ignorance is: "But aren't there alot of comparisons of Rivers to Leaf." It hurts every time I see it!

Ryan Leaf you really should be looking into your defense on your upcoming criminal case then making posts about being like Rivers. The rest might not be on to you but I know its you Ryan ....I know its you

Why is everyone so mad at Sportsfanforlife? He acknowledges that Rivers is the much better QB than Leaf. If anything, SFFL seems to be focusing on personality/character traits. I'm not saying I agree with the comparison there, either, but maybe he's thinking that aspect is a little more debatable than on-field performance. Can't we all just get along?

You must be Ryan Leaf's Mother.
