Well, that's true, he has been up and down, but I doubt any WR would be very consistant with the massive amount of QB's he's had...not to mention, all of them are sub par. Here is a list of his QB's since he came into the league in 2001.
*- NOTE games are based on time they have appeared in a game (at least 1 attempt) and based off football reference stats.
07- Trent Green (5 games)
06-07- Cleo Lemon (4 games 06, 2 in 07)
06- Dante Culpepper (4 games)
06- Joey Harrington (11 games)
05- Gus Frerotte (16 games)
02-05- Sage Rosenfels (4 games in 05, 3 in 04, 2 in 03, 4 in 02)
04- A.J. Feeley (11 games)
01-04- Jay Fiedler (8 games in 04, 12 in 03, 11 in 02, 16 in 01)
03- Brian Griese (5 games)
02- Ray Lucas (7 games in 02, 7 games in 01)
That's 10 different QB's in a little over 6 seasons. Only 2 times did he start with a QB and end with the same QB, and that was 2001 (his rookie year) with Fiedler (883 yards and 7 tds). The other was with Frerotte in 05 and he had a career high 82 catches, 1118 yards, and 11 tds.
It would be amazingly hard to put up consistant numbers with a revolving door at QB and even worse, all pretty sub par QB's. Rivers is instantly the best QB he will get to work with.
