DCOrange Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Really curious to see where the Colts pivot to next. Wentz would make a lot of sense given the connection with Reich, but the Eagles are at least portraying themselves as wanting to keep Wentz and build around him with a new coach. Likewise with the Jets and Darnold. I can't imagine Houston would trade Watson to a division rival so he's probably not a real consideration there. They could theoretically go young and target Tua if the Dolphins really plan to move on from him so soon though Indy obviously has the money to sign someone as well so who knows. Also curious to see if they believe in Jacob Eason or not. He was viewed as a potential 1st round pick for awhile before he ultimately slid to the 4th.

Very curious to see the route the Colts take at QB with their win-now roster and litany of cap space - Stafford and Garoppolo make sense as trade targets, and if Dallas lets Dak test the market, I don't see a better fit for him He should be in the Hall of Fame.

dave mcbride Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I truly believe that the Chargers would have won the SB in the 2006 season if not for Marlon McCree. That was arguably the luckiest Patriots postseason win ever, and I include the tuck rule game and the 2018 AFC championship game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigotz Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 He's a Hall of Famer. Like it or not, the guy was one of the best QB's in the league for almost two decades. Stinks that his team never went far in the post-season, but that didn't stop Dan Marino from making the Hall of Fame. Dan Marino: 61,361 Yards, 420 Passing TD's, 252 Int's Phil Rivers: 63,440 Yards, 421 Passing TD's, 209 Int's. Phil Rivers is a first ballot Hall of Famer and it's not even close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaching? How can a person go from one fairly high level to where he is now? Reich did do a good job with him so hard to just dismiss that. There's a good chance he could be gone, but think his past success will warrant him one more chance. Guess it may depend on what a guy like Reich really thinks of him.

I don’t know what happened to Wentz, but he can’t play anymore. He was the worst starter in the league this year and everyone in Philly knew it. He seems to have had a mental crack-up and the stories coming out of there now are pretty bad. I mean, it’s possible he’ll play well again, but I doubt it. He appears to be broken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they thought Love had any chance of being a starting QB they should call the Pack in the offseason because there is no way he sees the field in Green Bay anytime soon. Also, I agree with poster above that Wentz is probably not available for cap issues but more importantly Iggles FO not ready to throw in the towel.

Playing golf? You're out of your mind. Indy was built around the run and great defense and that;s how they threatened us. We faced great QBs all season and it hasn't proven to be an Achilles heel for us yet. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Dak is the absolute least of my worries. He plays in the worst division in football, and we clowned him already last year. There are at least 10 QBs I'd take before him and if he was my QB I'd be looking for an upgrade. I'm very very happy we don't have Dak. He's a Rivers-esque franchise killer. Too good to let go, not good enough to get the job done. Any team that signs him can all but guarantee they'll never win a super bowl - just like Rivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chandler's Hands Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 1 hour ago, BITE ME said: lol. Rivers threw for over 63,000 yards and 421 TD's. Anderson threw for 33,000 yards and 197 TD's. Rivers is a top 5 all-time leader in throwing yards. He won't get in on the first ballot, but a virtual lock to get in the HOF. It's a different era though so you can't compare the stats directly, need to compare to peers. For a QB to enter without winning a Super Bowl he either needs to get to the Super Bowl more than once (Kelly, Tarkenton) or be an all-time great sort of guy (Marino). The argument for Rivers in the Hall-of-Fame using a comparable is probably not Anderson however, it's probably Warren Moon who is in fact in the HOF. In my opinion Moon was borderline to go to Canton, but in any event I'd argue he was a 1/2 step up from Rivers relative to his peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivers absolutely does not belong in the HOF. He was a very good QB, but he always found a way to lose when it mattered most. Hi early Chargers teams were littered with so much talent, including LaDanian Tomlinson, who in his prime was as good as any football player ever was, along with Antonio Gates, in the conversation with Gonzalez for the best TE ever. In all the years Rivers has been in the league, he won 4 playoff games - 2 more than Allen has. He's only taken his team to the playoffs 7 times over 15 years. Spot on with the Stafford and Ryan comparisons. Very good throwers of the football, but not HoF QBs.

Rk_Bills86 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Rivers is a lock to be in the HoF..... not first ballot - his no rings will prevent that. Rivers has better stats than Big Ben and they came from the same draft. More to the point - people will say - oh it's a different Era.... ok.... who else from 5 years before and after him performed better.... The list is Brees, Brady, Peyton, and in three years Rodgers and Matt Ryan? That would be four first ballot HoFer's and another person in essentially the same boat as him. Who is on pace to eventually knock Rivers (averaged 3937 yds a season) down the list..... Rodgers (Short `12,000),Matt Stafford (Short ~18,000), Matt Ryan (Short ~8000), Russel Wilson (Short ~ 30,000), Jameis Winston (Short ~ 43,000), Deshaun Watson (Short ~ 49,000), Patrick Mahomes (Short ~ 49,000) That's it, that's the list of people that have a shot currently of MAYBE surpassing Rivers. Rodgers and Ryan I can see. Stafford I don't know if he plays long enough in a starting roll. They are also the only three on the list from the same "Era" as Rivers. The next four are 100% from a different "Era" and have a long way to go and a lot of years before they can start to even sniff Rivers accomplishments. Rivers will possibly go down as the second greatest QB to never win a SB, and probably becomes the #1 to never actually reach one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also take a healthy Garoppolo over him - at best Dak slots in somewhere with Stafford, Ryan, and Tannehill. If Wentz can return to form, he's in that conversation too.

Rk_Bills86 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Going to take a look at your list: Disagreements: 1)Jackson is a pure Enigma of a QB - I'm not sold on him being a Top 10 QB or even a viable passing QB - I want to see him in a non-Greg Roman offense that is still designed to take advantage of his scrambling but not 100% reliant on it. I'll give you a "Maybe" because while I would not build around him as he's being used currently, I wouldn't consider him a waste of talent and would not give up on him 2)Herbert is a Rookie - lets see him repeat and improve before throwing in the top 10 because otherwise you need to throw Burrow in with him. 1 year does not make him top 10 material. 3)Murray - Regressed Hard second half of this year and hasn't wowed me any more than Dak does - Honestly if you made video game characters Dak and Murray would be the same one if you just swapped their throwing and running abilities. I still think Dak has the upper hand on Murray and this may just be a matter of experience due purely to time in the league and relying less on the run. 4) Healthy Garoppolo still didn't put up numbers like Dak and oh... he can't stay healthy - pass. 5) Big Ben, Knees of Iron and Rust, has to get rid of the ball in 2 seconds and can't heave it down field beyond the first 6 weeks of the season..... GTFOH with that troll selection to your top 10 for next year. Agreements to top 10 QBs for next year: Rodgers Brady Mahomes Watson Wilson (Although..... jesus his stats after facing us tanked so hard it's concerning enough to imo put him at the #10 spot) Mayfield Allen Looking at your list - based on numbers and the eye test - I really think Dak is essentially a Mayfield equivalent for skill and ability and what Murray's ceiling is (Which isn't bad).
