(vs. SEAHAWKS, 12/14)


My initial feeling was that after today the Colts should go with Riley Leonard, but not anymore ...... after starting the game going 3-for-8, Philip Rivers went 15-for-19, and that includes when he intentionally threw the ball away several times.

In my rat's ass of an opinion, Rivers is the guy that we ought have in there going forward for the rest of the season.

A guy who can't roll out, scramble or even run one yard? Can't avoid a sack, and definitely not a QB sneak in him anywhere. Can't throw over 15 yards without it looking like a hanging knuckle ball. Ya, lets fucking do that.

The chances that Riley Leonard would have given the Colts a better chance to win today's game is 50/50 ...... he's much younger than Rivers, he's much more mobile than Rivers, and he has much more arm-strength than Rivers ...... but I doubt that he would have been able to complete 15-out-of-his-last-19 passes like Rivers did today, including 2 incompletions that were intentional.

Leonard played well last week, but he's still a total wildcard ....... he may wind up being a good starting quarterback in the NFL, he may wind up being a good 2nd-string quarterback in the NFL, or he could wind up sucking with hardly any NFL career at all.

We ain't gonna find out when we keep running people like Rivers out there. Look, he was a good QB. The key part of that is "WAS" It ain't there, and its not going to get better. This team is the king of parlor tricks. I doubt this will be the last one. It is who we are.

While I was entertained yesterday with an almost win in a game I felt like we should lose by 21, OMR is not going to get us to the playoffs and if by some miracle we back in, will not win us a playoff game. His game is just too limited at this point in his career.

On that note, HATS OFF to the Colts defense. They played a heck of a good game yesterday minus some of their playmakers (Buck, Sauce, Ward). It was a HECK of a performance.
