Once Philip Rivers was installed as a starter for the Chargers on 9-11-2006, he has never missed a start.
His consecutive streak is the second-longest of all time at 219 games.
The streak though could be coming to an end soon.
It’s become a foregone conclusion that Philip Rivers won’t be the Chargers starting quarterback when they co-christen their new stadium. The next question is whether he’ll still be the team’s starting quarterback when they leave their current stadium.
With seven interceptions in his last two games, a continuation of Rivers’ currently poor play “could” result in a benching, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL. That’s a fairly obvious conclusion. No quarterback who is coughing up picks at an average rate of 3.5 per game will keep his job indefinitely, no matter who he is. But what would the trigger be to get the Chargers to pull Rivers?
Tyrod Taylor is the back and the Chargers may want to take a look at him to see if he is a viable starter in 2020.
One thing is for sure, Rivers won’t be back with the Chargers next season.
