Colts to bring in ….Philip Rivers for workout UPDATE: Signed to PS

[MJS]

Hey, I'd tune in and watch. This would be awesome! I don't think it will work out for them, but I'd certainly watch every minute of it!

bolts resigning Jones?  no 1st round pick

[Tombstone]

They Signed him

If they can get Jonathan Taylor the ball and use Rivers as a game manager, might not be a terrible move.

 

Would certainly take him over Richardson.

[PonyBoy]

Rivers must have finally gotten that vasectomy...

 

Nothing better to do with his time now I guess 🤷‍♂️

Especially because Richardson can't play because he can't see. He has a fractured orbital bone in his eye area. He fractured it during a pre-game warm-up when an exercise band snapped. And now Riley Leonard has a PCL sprain and is week-to-week. They literally have no one to play QB.

Bringing back Rivers is the dumbest move I've seen in a while.  I do not see this being a Flacco type thing.  

Only second dumbest to the trade they made 2 weeks ago.

What do the Colts have to lose?

 

They went all in on the season and it blew up.   Take a swing. 
 

Good for them.  
 

Worst thing that happens is they miss the playoffs, which was happening without Rivers anyway.

Do they play the Texans again still? Would love to see him try to escape that pass rush 

[paulmm3]

I get it. Jones is out for the season, Leonard is injured and also not good, and Richardson can't see. Not a lot of great options out there. If I was Colts GM I'd give Rivers a shot too.

He will be starting this Sunday. He already knows their playbook. Gonna be must see television to be honest

He will do well against them.  Great running game, quick release, and smart decision making. Won’t force anything. 
 

I will go on record now— Colts go 4-1 (at worst) with Rivers at QB.

Brutal. Bye bye playoffs. And just a few weeks back, they were thought to be the top contender in the AFC. Which was a stretch even with a healthy Jones.

I can’t imagine this working out. NFL quarterbacks are elite athletes, you can’t be on the couch for 5 years and just throw the pads back on.

[zow2]

He will do a great job at handing off and some quick dump offs.  I don't think Rivers will be very effective if he has to chuck it down the field.  I'm not seeing another Flacco here.    I can't imagine why they would go with the 44 year old grandpa who hasn't played in years, over calling up Brett Rypien from the practice squad. 

[WotAGuy]

No way he is coming back for PS money or whatever vet minimum is.  Wonder how the compensation will be worked out?

I will go on record now, Miyagi-Do Karate, no do math... (psst, there are only 4 games left).

Exactly the reason for him to give it a shot! The were truly in between a rock and a hard place - the most hollow 8 and 5 team in recent memory. 

 

Everyone is expecting an 8 and 9 season now irrespective of who is the QB. If Rivers wins one game it will be super impressive. 

 

No way would you want Leonard to have his first career start at Seattle.
