(vs. SEAHAWKS, 12/14)

My initial feeling was that after today the Colts should go with Riley Leonard, but not anymore ...... after starting the game going 3-for-8, Philip Rivers went 15-for-19, and that includes when he intentionally threw the ball away several times.

In my rat's ass of an opinion, Rivers is the guy that we ought have in there going forward for the rest of the season.

As I just said in my previous post, this is probably correct, and the best decision now would be to go with Riley Leonard for the team's final 3 games of the season.

We probably caught lightning-in-a-bottle with Philip Rivers yesterday, and that is probably the best that we'll see of him if he continues to play ...... and as Sherck pointed out, there is a good chance that other teams will adjust to him now that they have seen him play, and they will probably start picking off his short, looping passes.

I stand corrected.

As I just yesterday in another thread, I have changed my mind again ...... I believe that Uncle Phil gives us the best chance to win, as Puck asserted.

Uncle Phil was fine tonight ...... the Colts' defense was absolutely atrocious.

I want Uncle Phil as our OC

At this point I just want him to prep Leonard as much as he can these last 2 games. Our only hope right now is he shows signs he can be our qb for the future

You are a true fan holding out hope that Leonard is our future. I gotta admire your ability to do this.

It’s almost like his been groomed for it especially if Steichen is the coach, the whole Steichen-Rivers-Leonard dynamic

Kid on the other side last night was a late round pick with so much predraft garbage on him, which lead to his draft position. Turned out ok for him.

Brady was a late round with knocks and reasons why he couldn't play in the NFL. Bledsoe getting hurt proved them to be idiots as well. History in the NFL tells you anyone can succeed despite what the pundits say. We won't know which side he falls on until he gets the chance. We ain't making the playoffs so might as well see. Barring a miracle we won't see DJ next year, so something has to work.

You could have pointed out that the great Johnny Unitas was a 9th round pick of the Steelers who they cut. That has happened once in 105 years of NFL. With the two you said (and Purdy has not won anything yet) that makes 3 in 105 years. Not likely to happen.
