It wasn't a mistake. Their hands were tied because Luck unexpectedly quit right before the season. Luck torpedoed the season. Deep down, everybody knew that Jacoby couldn't replace Luck. Even if they lie and say otherwise...they knew. Most of the people on this board aren't dumb. If we were, we'd be over at dotcom. The Colts brass had to talk JB up and boost his confidence in order to even have a chance. Jacoby, ultimately, failed as was expected. Rivers is at least competent and can throw downfield. Has a quicker release. Luck, who is entirely to blame for last year and this whole situation, took $24M to walk away and quit. At least Phil (who I've always hated) is going to play and try for his salary. I just hope we get a good kid we can train to be a starting QB.
