NFL News OT: Colts sign Phillip Rivers

[TheRainMaker]

Andrew Luck, who is 36, would be a better choice, but there is probably zero chance he would ever resign with a team which had made no effort to draft an offensive line to protect him.

Need to give Andrew Luck some props and respect for retiring when he did. Earned a lot of money and left before his injury history got even worse. Probably saved himself a lot of brain damage

He was a really good QB and was a victim of negligence by the Colts organization. While his teams were completely overmatched by the Pats, respect to him for taking a bad Colts team and carrying them to 3 straight 11-5 records and the AFCCG in his 3rd season.

He would've been a complete pain in the ass had the Colts didn't take their sweet ass time building around him.

Raises an interesting question, how many folks turn you down before you call Grampy Rivers

Rivers is a tough sob. Godspeed

10 kids, I'd say his wife is some tough too

 

[Clonamery]

but she said her name was Lola...



actually, it was my brother... when we fought, we fought

For a second, it was pretty kinky then your bro showed up.

He flopped a lot and complained often. It's a miracle that he could cuss so much yet never use a foul word.

 

[Real fan 02]

i initially thought that too... but, not the story...

hes on the IR with an orbital fracture... I got smoked in the face once, had the same thing happen... hurt like a mofo, took forever to heal

That's right pape is in fact is on IR.. forgot all about that.. That's to bad.. there still is another QB on the roster.. the fact that the Colts felt they had to ask a retired player in his 40s.. to come play QB for them is just telling all together about the QB room depth.

If I’m Anthony Richardson I’m never touching a football again.

That’s probably what the Colts are thinking too.

Pape is on IR. Guy is made of glass. He's got skinnier calves than Shawn Crable.

 

[Jackson 2]

Rumor has it he pulled out mid-doggy style to sign the deal.

And his wife reportedly completed the purchase of his plane ticket several seconds before that pull-out. Oh, and that ticket is one-way...

Rooting for the old dude, but not the dolts.

What it really tells you is how bad quarterback depth is around the league. Dobbs and DeVito aren't world beaters by any means, but they are better than most teams QB depth charts.

That's future Steelers QB Richardson to you.

 

[TommyD4207]

He's not going to last more than 2-3 games....and I'm being generous.

There's only 4 games left in their season, so that checks out

Have youse guys seen the TV ad with DeVito as "the backup"? Unexpected & funny.

10 kids...wonder if he makes them wear nametags.

I don't understand why the Giants don't try to trade one of their vet back-ups to the Colts. You would think one of those two would be better than a 44 year old Philip Rivers.

The trade deadline was weeks ago.

Oh shoot, you're right.
