Philip Rivers Welcomes Geno Smith
In news that nobody noticed outside maybe Chargers fans, Geno Smith is now a Charger. 1 year, 1 million. That’s like a money golf cart.
We assume Geno Smith will never see action. Why would he? Philip Rivers is much better and never misses a start. Geno might get a few snaps at the end of major blowouts, I guess. But then…we all sorta assumed that wouldn’t happen with the Giants. Eli was the NFL’s ironman. Never got hurt. Then all of a sudden Geno Smith is the starting QB and the entire NFL melts down for like a week over the news. The move makes no sense and nobody stops it in time. Geno Smith is now officially in the history books as the QB who ended Eli’s streak and is the first black QB to ever start for the Giants.
So what if this was just the first taste of Geno’s evil plans to sabotage those better than him? Rivers has been passed the mantle of active ironman. I think he has roughly two seasons to catch up with Eli’s streak. But what if he never makes it? What if Anthony Lynn suddenly goes full McAdoo and Rivers ends up on the bench for throwing a temper tantrum one day? Or Rivers miraculously gets an injury no one noticed during play? What if Geno Smith crushes dreams?
If this happens, remember you heard it here first. Well technically I made this prediction 2 days ago for the podcast, but STILL. I’m calling it now. Geno Smith starts for the Chargers and Rivers loses the ironman streak for no reason.
Las Angeles Chargers will never not sound wrong. It isn’t a matter of just getting used to it, it’s actually just wrong.
Not as bad as people saying that Unitas played for the Indy Colts despite never playing for that city.
Needs more emphasis on Rivers having no ring.
And having 18 children
RINGLESS
Once he knocks off Rivers, he’ll just need to have a stint with the Steelers to eliminate Ben and the Ringless Rivers saga will finally end!
Noooooo
Will Geno Smith become the next Ryan Fitzpatrick?
Her Der he learned from Harvard graduate
After that a group of Geno Smith white knights will pop out of the wood work crying racism like they have before when the outcry regarding Eli happened.
Also speaking of Eli, some ESPN poll came up calling him overrated. Hopefully it’ll fuel him for the upcoming season.
I miss the San Diego Super Chargers fight song
Los… Ang… El… Es… Super CHARGE-ers!!!
Kinda works(?)
Meanwhile, Geno Smith the Linebacker (Arvill Nelson) is still unsigned and one my text walls is literally the 3rd search result for “Arvill Nelson.”
The last frame was my face when the colts did the stupid punt fake
When I saw the title I thought this was going to be about the Chargers hiring Geno to babysit ringless River’s bounty of kids.
I guess that means he’ll never be the backup in Cleveland?
Don’t do this to me Dave. Please dear God don’t do this.
Like you have now set me up for the most stressful season. I’ve been following the team since 2013, and they’ve been nothing but shit (other than 2013, but they went 9-7 and missed playoffs). We finally have a good roster, made some quite, yet good, moves, and the AFC West is falling apart. We can finally go to the playoffs, first to see my team go, but I’m going to be anxious for ever hit Rivers takes. Why did you have to do this. All I want is to see my team do well, that’s not a whole lot. I hope the Giants pass on Saquon Barkley.
As a Fan since Marty was the coach, just realize something. The ownership is the worst in possibly all pro sports. AJ Smith mismanaged the team so badly that the championship window that was 4 seasons wide was missed worse than having a kicker miss an indoor 30 yard field goal. The window is now super small, thanks to the team still having horrific ownership and an inexperienced coach.
Fuck you Spanos
If I ever get rich, I will singlehandedly move the Chargers back to San Diego. Probably won’t happen, but I’m willing to do anything for this team. Fuck Dean Spanos forever.

I’m waiting for UT to do LOF video for Mariners.
I know that I’m not the only one expecting an RG3 comic
