I like Eason, but unless the team starts showing confidence in him, I'm hesitant to do so myself, especially with no preseason this year.

The Colts are not starting a rookie QB next season, and I really doubt Stafford will be available as he's midway through a large contract extension, so there are serious financial complications aside from the fact that he's Detroit's best player and probably its most popular player as well. Furthermore, his stats are pretty similar to Rivers' stats (I know, different personnel...)
The fact is that Rivers is, by most measures, an above-average QB, and this team can win with an above-average QB.
