As a long time charger fan I seriously question if you know anything about the team at all. The screen pass/dump off call is what people who don't watch the thing say Rivers always does. Rivers only dumps/screens to sprolesy and LT now and then. Almost all of Gates' completions are up the middle for a minimum of 10 yards, there's hardly any bs 5 yarders to gates-wtf u talkin bout. And VJ for your information has the 2nd highest yards/catch out of the 1000 yard receivers. He has 17.2 y/catch, desean jackson is first with 18.7 y/catch. But I guess that's because they do little drop passes a VJ always runs for like 15 yards after the catch!!! ROFL. VJ gets most of his passes through mid/deep crossing routes and deep outs/slants. I will agree rivers has underthrown him a few times, but damn they have hooked up on a LOT of big time completions. Your analysis of the bolded portion is exactly what a person who doesn't know the chargers would say.
As for VJ over marshall, yes. Im sorry you reward the player on the team that is miles better than the other. Marshall has quite a few more catches but look at his avg y/catch....there's the guy who gets quick little dump slants and short yardage catches....11.1 y/catch to 17.2. Quite a big difference. They are about even on TDs and yards, so I give it to the guy who plays for the obviously better team and the guy who makes bigger plays consistently-thats VJ. VJ also opens up a lot of middle plays for gates, and vice-versa. Both are important and both should be pro bowlers for the team with the second best record in the AFL.
