Von Miller went on rant praising Philip Rivers

Philip Rivers is quite possibly the most underrated quarterback playing in the NFL today. It's been a while since he's had a good (or healthy) supporting cast around him, but he continues to put up numbers. Fans may not realize how great he is, but the league's best players do.

According to Ravens safety Eric Weddle, Von Miller went on a seven-minute rant during Pro Bowl week about how Rivers is one of the league's best passers…

Via Bleacher Report Radio:

"I'll give you guys a really inside story. It happened two nights ago. We were all hanging out at the bar. It was me, Philip, Bobby Wagner, Von Miller, Harrison Smith and a couple other guys. And Von comes up - and we're just talking about games and experiences - and Von goes on this seven-minute dissertation of how much he loves, respects and admires Philip and thinks he's one of the best quarterbacks in this league. "And he goes off and says, 'Look who he played with and [he still] beat us!' He's just like, 'That guy right there is amazing.' "Honestly to players, players know, like, players know you come here, and you could have a couple games … but they know how good you are. Really, at the bottom line, who you play with, what you're playing with, the team, the scheme - they know. So it was a perfect example of one of the best players in this league - [one of] the greatest people - was literally talking to Phil and telling him how much he thinks he's the best quarterback in the league. And he was really being honest about it. It was awesome just to see that."

Miller won't get any arguments from me. I went on my own rant about how Rivers is one of the league's elite quarterbacks. He'd get more credit for being one if his team could stay healthy and stop blowing leads in the fourth quarter. Alas.

Players around the league know how good he is, so at least there's that.
