Rivers is an ok quarterback. He's still young and has aways to go in his career. Not everyone can be a Brady or Farvrerere out of the box. Given some good pass protection and good play calling I think Rivers could be a force to reckoned with in a few years.

Good qbs are raised or born, the later being the exception. If you are born a qb you have tons of ability a la Favre and rely mostly on talent to perform. These qbs usually perform good on a scramble. Favre has the worst mechanics of any qb, ever.
Raised qbs rely mostly on mechanics, a la Marino. They are usually pocket passers that have to go through the motions, be it a 3 step or a 5 step drop-back and step into the throw.
Rivers is a raised qb in the maturing process. If you compare his performance this season to last, his mechanics have gone to hell, with his accuracy as well. He was taken off a system he was starting to master into a new one which he has not. If he looks sort off lost out there is b/c he is.
