Does San Diego Chargers' QB Phillip River Stare Down His Receivers?

Well if one watches this video, it does seems so. It's a preseason game against the Chicago Bears, and Bears Middle Linebacker Brian Urlacher zeros in on Rivers' pass and brings it back for a touchdown.

I still think lettting an experienced Drew Brees go was a huge mistake borne of the same managerial hubris that saw the Chargers pass up Michael Vick. Chargers GM A.J. Smith's moves are always left to question. He seems to try to make decisions that tell one player "You're not as special as you think." If you research the Vick issue (yes, the Chargers needed players, but Vick is special) and the Drew Brees matter as well as the Eli Manning v. Phil Rivers event, you will see that pattern. That's not the sign of a good GM. He seems more of an "old boy" GM than a really high-tech 21st Century manager.

But the Chargers will learn the hard way.
