A few fan on twitter are already calling for Jacoby. I’m sure that number will go up if Rivers continues. And then I’m sure a few more would prefer to throw the rookie to the wolves.

Things also being said:
Trade for Dwayne Haskins
Trade for Sam Darnold
Think Peyton would come out of retirement?

It's not that JB is better, but perhaps he can be more effective and turn the ball over less. Let's not forget the margin of victory was exactly the 9 points given the Browns by Rivers' mistakes. And, they were bad mistakes.

All I'm saying is if he has another game like that, it should be his last.

Brissett, Haskins and Darnold all suck. No use wasting time on those guys. Might as well draft a guy that you actually want after just playing this season out instead of wasting draft picks and another year or two of mediocrity bringing in either Haskins or Darnold.

Exactly. None of those guys are going to be long-term solutions for us. Maybe it’s Eason. Rivers was always going to be a 1 to 2 year stopgap and I don’t think anyone really expected him to take us to the Super Bowl. I don’t want to go trading away draft picks for another mediocre quarterback.

Keep in mind Rivers is exactly 5 games into his Colts career, with all new teammates.

People have to stop viewing the offense in a vacuum. Can Rivers play better, yes, but so can the O-Line, the RB's, the TE's and WR's.

These guys have probably had a 3rd of the reps (pre-pandemic) that that would have had entering a season at this point. For a new QB, playing with new teammates that's important.

Those who want Brissett are asinine. Two throws from this game that Brissett doesn't even attempt are the throws to Johnson and Dulin. In fact he probably takes a sack.

No. I think they will and should stick with rivers. He gives them the best chance to win based on our QB choices.

I thought rivers would be better for us than brissett but didnt have any illusions that he would lead us to a championship. Maybe thats eason at some point, maybe not.

I would rather play Eason. Jacoby is not the future, and he isn’t the present. I would rather ride with Rivers or see what we have in the rookie.

Not to mention Campbell, Pittman, and Burton have all missed extended time in a year that had no training camp or preseason.

We’re probably lucky he hasn’t been worse.

He will stay the starter unless he gets hurt.

We're in QB hell now and I know I'll get flamed/bantered for it, but I still blame Andrew Luck. If he hadn't quit, we'd be undefeated. He alone, well, along with Frank firing Dave DeG because he was too strick/mean/used profanity. That firing ruined the O-line. No QB on the roster. O-line gone soft. Young, promising defense with talent, a very questionable scheme, and no ultimte purpose. Welcome to the Indiana Pacers (who I stopped watching after the 1999/2000 finals. They have zero chance to ever win a championship). I'll keep watching, but I'm glad I don't pay money for this team.

PS: Do not throw Eason in. You'll ruin him outright like Josh Rosen
