Is that where we are now. Say f-it to the season and play the rookie?

Rivers is the starter and will start AT LEAST the next game. However, if he has another game like this past one, I'd like to see someone else under center.l

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?

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.

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.

Yes, but staring down receivers is rookie level mistakes that shouldn't be happening in year 50 of a QB's career, no matter the system, or new players. Don't fucking do that.

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.
