"If you can't trust him, who can you trust? His teammates, led by tight end Antonio Gates, call Rivers "Coach" for the gung-ho emotional mini-speeches he's prone to giving. But it's his approach to the game--seeing the whole field and not just his place in it--that makes them follow him. Steve Rivers has a story of his own about this. Before a playoff game during Philip's senior year in high school, the entire Auburn coaching staff showed up and stood near the field during warm-ups. One of the coaches told Steve, "Make sure you let him throw it tonight," to which Dad replied that he'd do whatever it took to win the game. Late in the fourth, with his team ahead by 14 and the ball on the opponent's 40, Steve called a timeout and asked his son, "You want to throw?" Philip had thrown only eight times in the game, not enough to give the Auburn coaches a good look, but he recoiled at the suggestion. "Throw it? Are you kidding? We're running it down their throats." So the coach shrugged and sent his son back onto the field to run a few more off-tackle plays. It was the right call, of course, but Steve Rivers has long known what the rest of us are just finding out: His kid's got a head for the game. "

i can't wait till hes our coach 20 years from now

I hope you're just talking about this week, because you can't possibly deny he's not in top 2 or 3 in the NFL today. Dude has never had a single reciever worth writing home yet has been about the most consistent and most productive QB in the entire league for the past 4-5 seasons.

12/14/2006 2:48:13 PM

how many rings does Tbrady have??? yeah, hes overrated
