Rivers and Manning: Kindred Spirits?

New Charger says Philip and Peyton are similar in many ways

New Chargers offensive lineman Orlando Franklin is an insightful guy. He just spent three years working with Peyton Manning, one of the most meticulous quarterbacks in NFL history.

Franklin is also a keen observer of human behavior. Playing the Chargers twice a year, he saw how Philip Rivers conducted himself. Contrary to most people's outside perception, Franklin did not see a hot-head.

He saw a competitor very much in the mold of the publicly robotic Manning, and it's one of the reasons Franklin came to San Diego. Listen to his take on accountability in the NFL.
