I actually thought Leonard looked pretty good vs. JAX. What gets lost in the whole debacle is that we had some atrocious calls go against us, but nobody cared at that point. 16, 8, and 12-play scoring drives - Riley/Pittman got screwed out of a TD and screwed into a mind-melting INT (still can't believe that one.)

I guess I won't be surprised by anything. Assuming Leonard can play ...... Rivers could backup Leonard as a true emergency, they could give him another week and let him take the reigns after SEA on short notice, or they could say fuck it and see what he can do against SEA.

If anyone wants to join me, the cope-induced take I'm rolling with to make me feel better ......

He mainly retired for priorities. Arm still looks ok from what players/reporters are saying. And consider that he was never really a rocket arm guy, anyway (especially by 2020). He was also, in his prime, one of the stiffest and most immobile QB's. Hopefully he can avoid gassing out.

So if the desire is there, his main weapon should still be intact, which is mental and pre-snap. ID the defense and get us in the right situation ...... let the playmakers loose.

A man can dream.

I dreamed that Daniel Jones might have a Jim Plunkett-type of resurrection with the Colts, and for the most part he did, prior to breaking his fibula.

I'm also dreaming that Philip Rivers can still be an effective quarterback in the NFL ....... with the odds, of course, being much lower than the odds were for a Daniel Jones breakout season.
