Playing Rivers today had absolutly zero use to the Colts team. No chance to continue in the playoffs and no chance he is playing here next year. Useless after Houston won yesterday.

I agree that i would have preferred to see if Leonard has anything in the tank than to see Phillip and know for sure he has very little left in the tank.

Facts:

A. No one knows if Daniel Jones will be ready to play next season, and if he gets cleared to play, will be effective. That will now be his second reconstructed knee. No one knows how he will respond. Sure, he MAY come back in time for Training Camp and pick up where he left off in 2025 but it is a huge unknown. He may come back during the season. If anyone says for certain that he will return by a certain date and he will be effective, they are smoking crack.

B. Phillip Rivers will be back coaching his high school team in 2026.

C. Anthony Richardson is a comlete unknown. Is he healthy enough to play football in 2026? Did he lose an eyeball? Did extensive testing indeed tell him that his bones are made out of glass? And if he is healthy, he has had little to zero chance to develop over the past year.

D. Riley Leonard is a nearly complete unknown. Sure, he looked....okay....in his one chance to play this season but does not appear to have many of the traits that quality NFL QBs possess. But he is healthy which is something we cannot say about options A and C above.

That is the state of the Colts QB position.

Free agents? Not much out there.

Jones is a free agent; how much is he worth to take the chance on him and his health to retain him?

Lots of things for a new GM and HC to determine as they start their Colts era.
