Colts to bring in ….. Philip Rivers for workout

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

You guys make fun of Rivers? Dude absolutely killed us every time he played us. I want no part of him.

I wonder if they regret those 2 first rounders for sauce Gardner lol

It was a calculated bet that what they saw out of Daniel Jones wasn't a mirage.  His play faded a little but I argued at the time of the trade it was a bad move because of the injury history with him.

Any game on the road in the state of CA for the drought Bills was always a bloodbath, especially in San Deigo.

I get why people are ripping on this, but it’s December, the Colts are in a wild card spot, and the guys available are extremely slim

 

Sam Ehliger? 
Taylor Heinike?

Tannehill said in November he was done, I doubt that changed a month later

 

There isn’t a good option. Maybe Rivers provides enough stability that they win games with their running game and defense. I get it’s crazy, but who is available at this point that can be even remotely good for a few weeks?

Honest question - would Rivers be the first grandfather to play in the NFL?

 

I had to scroll through the thread first to see if anyone mentioned George Blanda. 

 

I did some research, though, and his two grandsons are in their 30s, meaning they were born well after Blanda retired in 1976.

 

He sure LOOKED like a grandfather, though.

Makes the Colts interesting anyway 

 

I would think hes going to start if he comes in, otherwise what's the point?

 

The guy hasn't played since 2020, so I doubt he just wants to practice and watch that offense from the sidelines

Well at least the Colts can try to draft a QB this year, wait, I mean 2027 draft, wait, I mean 2028 draft. But at least they have a DB.

How about bringing back Earl Morrall from the grave?

[Walking Tall]

Has to be for financial reasons with those millions of kids he has.

I think the irsay gal is calling a lot of the shots. While she seems well intentioned, she's making some bad calls. I think she learned from her dad and is putting a lot of pressure on management and micromanaging. And I mean the sauce Gardener trade was terrible. 

Does it make me a bad person that I really want to make a Jim Irsay/Sauce joke, or a good person that I’m fighting like hell with myself not to?

They went all in giving up 2 first rounders for Sauce Gardner. I think they legitimately believed they had a chance to win it all this year, so they’re scrambling. Desperation indeed.

Why not? I agree with your point they went all in. They could do a lot worse than Rivers. I always liked him so maybe I’m biased.
