If anyone doesn’t want Rivers, for all the naysayers and incendiarists who want to fire people, one question…

Who? At this point, in this season, who has a better chance of offering a glimmer for success?

Are we really confident in Riley Leonard or Brett Rypien?

When training camp closed, CBS ran a list of the dozen best QB’s available. They included Tommy Devito, Tyler Huntley, CJ Beathard, Desmond Ridder, Easton Stick, Rypien, Kyle McCord, Kyle Trask, Dorian Thompson Robinson, Herndon Hooker, John Wolford, and Bailey Zappe.

Most of those guys have hooked up with teams. Ridder is out there, but only because he wasn’t good enough to stick on the Viking’s practice squad. DeVito would have been a decent hail Mary, but he’s on the Patriot’s 53 man roster, and I don’t see anyone in that wretched organization tossing a drowning man anything other than an anchor.

Disgusting

And your solution was? Maybe we could have pried Josh Allen out of Buffalo for a conditional 6th rounder. Maybe we could’ve offered a lifetime supply of squirrel oil and a bucket of peppered chipmunk feet to Captain Andrew Luck and lured him out of retirement.

When the season opens, even the best run, non entertainment, organization quails at the thought of tossing their 4th string Quarterback into the fray. You can be unhappy that we find ourselves in this situation, but I don’t think you can blame the organization.

I’m betting that most of you that know how badly you his will turn out weren’t around to watch George Blanda. Of course it reeks of desperation, that it totally appropriate under the circumstances. Is the anyone here who thinks things aren’t desperate?

You start Rypien. Next man up. He was good enough to be placed in his position before, he should be starting now. Sign a reasonable FA QB off the street. Don't bring back an old, famous name to create a show. Doing a circus act clown show because your season is fucked, regardless of whoever QB starts, is just a gross to me.

I've made my opinion clear and won't be posting about this anymore.

Starting Rypien is tantamount to forfeiting the final four games of the season. If Rivers still has a functional arm, he gives you a puncher’s chance. He can no longer dazzle, but he might win on sheer guile. At this point, the bottom line is why not let him try. What is there to lose?

It's so beautiful...Let's Go!

I'm sure no one remembers when I said we should sign Brady
