 What is going on welcome back to another video in today's video we're gonna be checking out the 17th best player in the NFL for 2019 voted by the players and reacted to by me I hope you're enjoying the series Philip Rivers is a name that I actually haven't heard of before believe it or not I might have heard it like a couple times but honestly I have never looked at Philip Rivers right now when I'm looking at that name I feel as if I'm on the top 100 greatest players of all time and I'm looking at a quarterback from back in the 60s with no idea who it is that's my first thoughts so I'm gonna roll the intro and I'll see you back here to have a look okay let's go I see I don't know who he is because he's so nice who's he fucking calling out to man I can't remember what did he say it's either it's either the the ref or the coach I definitely have heard rivers because we never out here rivers I say rivers it's not John right well we let's have a look man I've got to give him some some time on Wikipedia no doubt about it he's a new player I've never I've literally never seen that face before never Philip Michael Rivers 37 6 5 over 100 kilos when the fourth pick in the first round of the 2004 draft he's been at the charges ever since he's had a spectacular career he's made the Pro Bowl eight times comeback player of the year in 2013 look at that wow passing yards 54,656 he went to North Carolina State was that North California North Carolina I actually got it right for once North Carolina he threw for 95 touchdowns 13,484 passing yards he had 252 attempts at rushing for an average of 0.4 yards totaling 96 yards for 252 attempts 17 rushing touchdowns off 96 yards you are kidding me how does that work Rivers was one of 17 quarterbacks taken in the 2004 draft along with Ben Rothesberger and Eli Manning and all three are still in the league how good is that all have been voted to the Pro Bowl both Rothesberger and Manning have won multiple Super Bowls the quarterbacks drafted in 2004 have been compared favorably to the quarterbacks of 1983 which included Hall of Famer's John Allaway Jim Kelly and Dan Marino how did he get the NFL comeback player of the year in 2013 I can't I can't seem to see why 2012 2013 season Rivers combined 35 interceptions the two previous seasons led many to wonder whether he was injured or if his career was on the decline only two offensive coaches returned in 2013 in an overhauled coaching staff led by new head coach Mike McCoy a revamped offensive system had Rivers released the ball earlier and taking what opposing defences conceded so he was selected to the Pro Bowl for the fifth time in his career okay so he just had a terrible couple of seasons basically terrible couple of seasons Rivers was frequently forced to scramble and was sacked 49 times and hit on 70 other plays contributing to 22 turnovers 47 over the previous two seasons the Chargers 7 and 9 record was the first losing season in Rivers career and the teams first since 2003 so it was terrible two seasons and he came back he came back and because they had a capable running attack and adjusted offensive line and an improved defense he was not pressured to forces throws and he lead all quarterbacks in the league with a 49.4 third down conversion rate went past it and all the rest okay so he had a great season in 2013 came back and now four or five years later at the age of 37 here's the 17th best player on the list that's fantastic guys I was gonna say that's definitely got to be old Joey Bosa surely yeah I know that voice the rest of the league noticed Keenan Allen guaranteed Ellen gave a massive step to get past his defender made some distance turn around call that he's got a funny little action doesn't he like he's not really holding the ball properly It's like he loops it. It's not like a real tight spiral. Let me have a look again. Maybe I'm talking complete shit. Definitely something different. Oh, where's he about to go? He's about to bang off the right. Throw Mike the fade. They threw the fade. He was open. It's pretty cool when you see like an older sort of mature guy playing quarterback. He's the captain of the offense. You know, he's been there for years. You do have so much respect. Like even just me looking at like just watching that for the first time literally for three minutes I've watched him and I already have a massive amount of respect because of what he's done in the league. Like I've literally only just started watching this 12 months ago and he's had a storied career for 15 years. It's insane. Phillip Rivers. I really enjoyed that and I can't wait to see him play this year. So with that being said Who is next? Oh, yes. Saquon Barclay. Number 16 on the list. I actually thought he was like 13 or 12. So I'm surprised with that and it's a good surprise. So stick around guys. If you've liked this video, hit the like button. If you want to subscribe, please do. And I'll see you back here shortly to check out Saquon Barclay or at least what his fellow players thought of him anyway. Okay. I cannot wait. I'll see you then. Peace.
