A.J. Smith, whom is the general manager for the San Diego NFL football team said on Tuesday that the team is ready to begin negotiations with Philip Rivers, their starting quarterback, hoping to agree to a long-term contract with the player.
Smith is hoping to retain Rivers, whom is a very skilled athlete and whom has been part of the team for a while now, they are expecting that the contract which is being offered to Rivers will be satisfactory enough for the QB, as his tenure with the team ends after the NFL 2009 season.
This current NFL season, Rivers became the main man for San Diego Chargers and the center of their offensive, and last season, he threw for 34 touchdowns and 4,009 yards which is enough to say that the young quarterback is a star in the rise, and a player the Chargers are more than happy to have on their roster.
But most importantly, he has led the team to the playoffs all 3 seasons with him as the starting quarterback and also, his touchdown-to-interception ratio is higher than the ones of Peyton Manning, Brett Favre and even Tom Brady.
So if you are to choose between keeping Tomlinson (whose salary might take up a big chunk of salary cap for the Chargers) and Rivers, I must say that the quarterback is always the main man on a team, and I don’t necessarily think that LaDainian Tomlinson, being a running back, would be more essential than Rivers when it comes to win a Super Bowl.
Final words: Keep Rivers, and let’s see if there is space for Tomlinson.

Chargers for NFL champions!
I want to be ready for this coming NFL football season, so I am filling my diferent sportsbook NFL betting accounts in order to start making some future wagers.
If you ask me, I will say that San Diego has a great deal of chances to make it to the playoffs and why not… to the Super Bowl. On the other hand, if Brett Favre joins the Vikings, this is going to become one of the toughest teams in the league, and one to pay attention to.
I don’t see the Patriots coming with a perfect NFL Season this time around; in fact, I think they will have a hard time dealing with the renewed Dolphins to win the AFC East.
I heard some unbelievable stories about the Saints going to the Super Bowl… but I guess there were just a bunch of New Orleans fans who haven’t lost the faith and are expecting for a miracle to take place… well they are the Saints after all, some prayers have never hurt anybody…
Another team that is quite strong for the coming NFL football season are the Jaguars, but they have the Colts and Peyton Manning on their way in order to win the AFC south, so I will say that this is probably one of the top-3 toughest divisions in the league right now…
I think I will start with a future betting line for the champion of the AFC, and that sit is reserved for the Chargers this time…

There is no question about what Conference is the best of the NFL football league, the AFC or the NFC… I guess you know the answer…
The AFC has a strong team and contender for the NFL championship on each Division, starting with the East, which has the Patriots, the North with the Steelers, the South with the Colts, and last but not least, the West with the Chargers.
And from these teams, who has it easier on their own Division? I will have to say the Chargers. They play against other 3 teams that have no chances of doing good this coming NFL football season, while the toughest has to be the South, with the Colts dealing with the Jaguars, an NFL football team that had a great season last year, and the Titans, who are expected to win at least 9 NFL football games.
And from the four, who’s going to win the AFC title this time? Hmmm you might say the Patriots, but I think the real run will be between the Chargers and the Colts, with San Diego possibly going to the Super Bowl. But anything can happen, maybe an underdog will step up and have a great year, who knows…
