Let me attempt to explain something very basic and simple to you.
Pressure can happen 3 seconds after the snap when the play is allowed to develop and the receivers can complete their routes.
Pressure can also happen 1.5-2 seconds after the ball is snapped where a QB has no chance to make the completion if he’s a pocket passer like rivers And the play isn’t allowed to develop.
This is the exact reason why he checks down so often, not because it’s a part of the scheme like you have claimed before.
Rivers is good at stepping up in the pocket and making plays even with pressure around him.
But when he doesn’t have the time he needs? When he can’t trust his blocking? It’s very bad because he isn’t good at extending plays when the blocking breaks down.
This is why I suggested possibly putting in Taylor if the OL doesn’t improve, because Taylor does have the ability to extend plays when the blocking breaks down.
IM being dead serious when I say that if you cannot grasp this simple logic, then you’re hopeless.
There is no double standard or “flip flop” this is how football works.

Also, I mentioned how the OL was without all but one starter, which is a fact. You mention how they had three because one is playing out of position and the other didn’t even last the opening drive?

What happened the week before when both the starting tackles did play? It was like night and day.
Rivers still hasn’t played well for at least half the games, our receivers haven’t either.
But the main issue is the OL Followed by rivers regression and the RZ offense.
You wouldn’t know this because you obviously don’t watch and just formulate your opinions based on stat sheets alone.
If rivers gets decent time then we should be fine, if not? I think they probably should give Taylor a chance.
That’s my opinion that I have had since the broncos loss, I have not “flipped” you just lack the football knowledge to understand.
