Now now, let’s not get crazy. Rivers is almost certainly useless but we KNOW noodle armed Ehlinger is.

How that dude has lasted this long in the league is a mystery.

Hahahahahahaha, fuck it, why not. Add some comedy to this depressing ass season.

I read somewhere earlier that Ehlinger refused.

On a side note, I have seen on some facebook pages that Cam Newton is available.

This has got to be the thinking. There’s no way they think they can put old man Rivers back out there.

Bring him in and let him coach up Leonard and earn some money doing it.

Not saying you’re wrong but that would be pretty amazing if true. I mean, it’s a good chance at playing time. In fact, he likely WOULD play.

Why on earth would someone like Ehlinger turn that down?

I've read so much crap in so many places today that I couldn't find it if I tried. But I remember someone saying that he'd been contacted and refused and thinking it was odd. Not as odd as contacting Philip Rivers, but odd.

Dont we already have coaches? Why do we need to use a roster spot for a qb coach?

We don’t have any coaches with the experience of Philip Rivers at playing quarterback and playing it very well.

I’m not saying that’s the reason, but nothing else really makes any sense at all. There’s no way the think he can actually play.

The Philip Rivers workout with the Colts took place Monday night, per source. Threw the ball well. Will see what’s next.
