[Ray_T 793]

[Maximum Overkill 2,578]

He'll probably miss most of next season to. 

[weepaws 3,401]

Sad news, Shane, would agree, don’t see him being available next season. 

[LaChup 277]

He should go ahead and have those cross eyes looked at while he's down.

That probably helps him. One eye looks at the WR and the other looks at the Corner Back

Philip Rivers coming in to save the Colts. I can’t find him on the waiver wire yet…

Good observation. I think he plays so loose because he see 16 wide receivers out there and knows if he throws it up there, he will hit one of them.

Grandpa Rivers. He's even more immobile than Jones with a broken leg. I see a lot of touches in JT's future.

[pronghorn 6]

Do they think Richardson really that bad

[BufordT 444]

Colts last 4 games are Seahawks, 49’rs, Jags & Texans. 
 

My Over/under for Colts total points rest of season is 40

Apparently  Rivers wasn’t even good when he last played, now it’s been five years.

I thought it was a joke when I first heard this.  Rivers? 

Was Dan Marino too busy?

I dunno his last year played he got 4169 yards passing in 16 games.  24 TD and 11 INT.   all while completing 68% of his passes......I think that was decent enough.

he is.   but when he got hurt they said hed be back before the end of the season.  we gotta be getting to that point sometime soon

[pronghorn 6]

I don't have confidence in Rivers, I would check with Derek Carr tell to throw some pass on.

His yardage of 4169 were is worse since 2012, his 19 ff points per game , was 28th.  He wasn’t that good, and reports kept talking about how beat up he looked, I mean more power to him if he can return, but after five years, and with a body that was ready to retire, seems like  a team that has a shot for the playoffs might be able to do better imo.  

[RareN64Dream 26]

Most of this happened because the trade deadline ended, I am guessing. I bet Colts would have possibly traded for a backup QB; if they could have. Rivers might be healthier than Carr right now; after Carr had that pretty brutal nose dive injury. Rivers might need the money more too.

hes had some time to let his body rest and recover.   I dont disagree, he did look a bit beat up.  

but his stats were good enough. 

your comment said he wasnt good when he last played.   I showed the stats from his last season.  they dont look all that bad.   so I wasnt sure where that was coming from.  if its just you saying he looked beat up.  I guess Ill buy that.  but statistically he was very solid.

 

either way....

I kinda figured they were just hoping for someone who could hold the fort for a week or two util Richardson returned and who could mentor him a bit (as the kid appears to still need it)

I dont know how close he is, but I hear hes doing some work with the team now. so I figure hes gotta be getting close.   maybe a couple weeks away?

 

anyhow, apparently Rivers is familiar with the offense.  so he should be able to pick it up reasonably quickly.   I think thats why he was signed.   and given who is left in the QB room I think that may have been their best option if they just wanna 1 to 3 week starter.

I'm not saying its a genius move but it does make some sense.

Because he wasn’t good. I hope he wins the Super Bowl, now that would a great story.

His throwing motion was flawless.
