Philip Rivers might be available…

In December…
 

Philip Rivers said he would not rule out returning to the NFL in December or January.

Rivers noted that he would not have made weight had he been asked to report to a team for training camp. He is currently coaching high school football and would likely want to see his first season as a coach all the way through before rejoining the league. That would put him on teams' radars around December. If Rivers isn't in playing shape and will be preoccupied with coaching for a few months, it's unlikely that he finds a home in the NFL this year. However, if a team were desperate enough, they would turn to Rivers before any currently available free agent. Rivers threw 24 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while completing 68 percent of his passes in 2020. He may not be close to his prime, but Rivers would still be a serviceable emergency option for a team that sustains a quarterback injury late in the year.

This is one of those, if the stars align kinda things. lf you need him, when he's available, that's cool. If you need him, and he is not yet available, well dang.

 

But, if you need him, and he is ready. Well then, no for me. I mean sure, he could probably help Sam and all. But by Dec. we should know whether Sam is it or not. So...I lost mt train of tho....

Why is that so hard for you to believe? He had a pretty good year last year.

Not only is his arm completely shot, it would be a major blow to the confidence of Sam Darnold. Even if Darnold isn't the answer, the answer is not digging up an ancient relic to try and progress a young team.

Did you read the OP? He won't be available until Dec. It is a pipe dream anywho. But he did have a pretty good year last year. Not sure why that is so hard to swallow. Are you mad at him or something?

 

By Dec. we will know what we have in Sam. Maybe Rivers can mentor him for a while? Who knows, maybe he can help?

You must be a super fanboy or something.

I don't like or dislike him, he just has no business ever being in a Panthers uniform at this point in both his career and the history of the franchise.

Thinking this through a bit. Two likely scenarios come to mind. 
 

Scenario 1

Jets Darnold and Panthers Darnold are identical. If this is the case we go into December with 4 or 5 wins and a couple fried huddle servers.   Lucky for Igo, he can pick up replacements during Black Friday sale.   We get Rivers, put on our rally caps and hope to sneak into playoffs. But we don’t.  The team seems ruderless but manages to get another win or two.  Rivers goes back to AL to for winter/spring HS football workouts.  Then we get to spend the whole off-season whining about not tanking for the next great QB we won’t be drafting.  
 

Scenario 2

Panthers Darnold plays admirably but gets injured late in the season.  We bring Rivers in and make or just barely miss the playoffs.  Huddle server gets fried in December, Igo misses Black Friday sale and pays full price.  Rivers goes back to AL to for winter/spring HS football workouts.  Then we get to spend the whole off-season whining about not tanking for the next great QB we won’t be drafting.

Or Scenario 3. Sammy plays well, we make the Playoffs, and the Huddle servers still go down.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By TD alt · Posted

      One thing about it, he's not thinking about retiring. I found it odd that some Huddlers were taking rumors and running with them, imagining a slow down and "up-playing" injuries. Moton feels great and is still in his prime according to him, and his game is still indicative of his thoughts.  Sure, it may ultimately come down to economics, but I am sure that everyone involved is motivated to keep him in Charlotte.

      Moton Meets the Press

      I think the knee stuff with Moton has been blown way out of proportion. The exact quote was “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it. But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future,” After a while, you start learning more about it and what can we do to make sure it’s as little of an issue as possible. I feel like I’m moving like I was when I was younger.” I don't view that as a guy who's saying his knees are on their last leg I see that as a 10-year NFL olineman saying that obviously after 10 years of playing a really physical sport, he's never truly gonna be 100% healthy again and he's gonna need to spend more time with the training staff to ensure his body can continue to perform at a high level. I think Moton has another 3 to 5 years left if he wants to continue playing.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By kass · Posted

      So much crying. Tiresome. All of you should have had enough time to come to terms with the team picking up his 5th year...
