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

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.

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

The Vikings should counter with Brett Favre.

Do they think Richardson really that bad

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.

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.

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.

Although I hope he does well, Rivers is not the answer. Sucks, 'cause Jones was my QB. Now I have to decide on my starting QB for the playoffs this week out of Brissett, Daniels and Stroud.

What I find interesting is apparently Rivers was up for Hall of Fame consideration next year. If he plays, this will reset his HOF eligibility and set him back another 5 years. Guess he doesn't care.

His throwing motion was flawless. 

supposedly with his workout with the team prior to signing the viewers were like.... he can still sling it.

but obviously hes not in game shape.   so there's that.   

not sure what else to say.  I guess we will see how smart the move was soon enough.    I wouldnt expect much this week even if he does play.

Cam Newton butthurt they didn't call him.  Must not have watched any of his own games the last 4 or so years he played.

 

I'd rather go with Rivers than Newton and its not even close.

for this game I'm predicting like 200- 220 yards and maybe a TD.  personally I'd expect they would keep to the ground once inside the 5 yard line as Rivers may know the base offense but the red zone offense may be a different story.
