I'm gonna go out on a limb here ST and say that Keith Rivers doesn't check the Message Boards.
Just because a handful of delusional posters might think that doesn't mean Rivers does. Anyone with even a half way decent knowledge of football wouldn't compare a person with zero sacks last season to one of the greatest LB's in NFL history at getting at the QB.
Rivers is a solid tackler which is what the majority of sports writers and fans are saying. Not that he is LT...
Oh, I know.
I am enjoying this however, especially after all the over-hyping I saw from tools like SLS and others. Reading some posts, you'd think this man was going to single-handedly save your defense. Don't get me wrong, he'll probably end up being the best player on your D, but that's not saying much. And yes, he'll be a solid tackler, which is already an upgrade.
I can't say I blame him for his actions though, considering your history of bad luck with LB's. But I will agree that it will probably come back to bite him in the arse later.
Besides, we all know Woodley will be better anyway.
