Once a New York Giant (for about a mere hour), Philip Rivers, one of three quarterbacks taken with the first 11 picks in the 2004 NFL Draft, has seen Ben Roethlisberger (taken 11th) and Eli Manning (first overall) win Super Bowls in their first four seasons. Rivers, who finally won a playoff game this past year (two, in fact), now needs to take the next step. But recovering from a torn ACL will only hinder that process, as the Chargers might be forced to start the 2008 season with Billy Volek under center.
The Chargers started 1-3 last season before rallying to win their third AFC West title in four years. Rivers showed incredible grit by playing with a torn ACL in the Bolts' AFC Championship game loss at New England. But once again San Diego came up short of its ultimate goal, and Rivers knows that, even with LaDainian Tomlinson in the backfield, the journey to Super Bowl XLIII falls squarely on his shoulders.
