We’ll see whether this is the football year that Philip Rivers, 37, reaches his first Super Bowl.
Related perhaps, years from now we’ll find out if football writers admitted Rivers into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Is Rivers a quarterback who’s had a good career? That’s a settled issue. He is.
Is he a great quarterback? That’s the stuff of rousing debate.
Where I think the San Diegan gets short shrift, even now, is from the folks who blame his team’s “injury luck” for the failure to reach Super Bowls.
More often than not, the folks who cry the injury blues on behalf of the Powder Blues fail to give full attention, or even a nod, to the “injury luck” advantage Rivers provides his team.
