Philip Rivers might be available…

[Davidson Deac II]

If we go into Nov/Dec competing for a playoff spot and we need a competent backup, wouldn't mind it.  Otherwise, just don't see the need.

Rivers is going back to the colts if they don’t trade for foles

He’s better than Sam Darnold. 

Is he?

Not only is his arm completely shot, it would be a major blow to the confidence of Sam Darnold.

So what?

4,000+ yards, 24 TDs, 11 ints. Better than what we had last year.

 

If he is willing to be a backup/mentor. Then yeah. Test those tires

This. I was assuming that the OP meant as a back up that had more potential that PJ.

OP did say this at the end. " 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."

 

So, I'm not really sure he meant for us specifically. Or even if Rivers would accept a backup role. But I will admit it sounds intriguing though.

This guys arm is in wayyyy worse shape than Cam’s. 

Some here do genuinely seem unable to accept that sometimes a QB loses arm strength with age and/or injury. There are still people claiming Cam will win another MVP. At this point I imagine it’s more in jest, but I think some really do believe he can return to the Cam of old. The arm is just gone. Pitt will learn this lesson with Big Ben the hard way this year. They just don’t last forever. It’s hard to move on but that’s just life.

Sorry, but Phillip Rivers is basically the same guy as Matthew Stafford. Media loves him, everyone says he's great and an asset to any team. Reality says he's an 8-8 QB who somehow survived numerous coaching changes.

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

or Scenario 4.  We find ourselves in need of a QB late in an attempt to sneak into the postseason.  CRA stands up in the crowd and starts a slow PJ chant.  PJ, PJ, PJ.  Soon it takes over the entire stadium! PJ! PJ! PJ!.   Rhule gives him the shot.  He continues his undefeated streak.  We go on to win the Super Bowl.  PJ Walker gets a statue.  In his speech for the Hall of Honor, he credits me for starting that chant and making it all happen.   PJ and I become best friends.  Everyone here is sooooo jealous.  And scene.

I did this in Madden, dropped Teddy and picked up Rivers, it was cool, but I think that's the only world it's gonna happen in. I think Darnold can be better than Rivers
