The Colts sign Philip Rivers
By: Jake Rajala
Philip Rivers has come back from the dead and joined the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have a thing or two for old QBs. They tried the Matt Ryan experiment, but Matty Ice was clearly washed up.
Perhaps they should have called Andrew Luck to come out of retirement. He’s only 36 years old. He doesn’t have grandkids, like Rivers does.
If Rivers can’t sling the ball like he did in 2020, perhaps Indy should call Tom Brady or Brett Favre and try to lure one of them out of retirement.
Rivers was a first ballot Hall of Famer in my book. He just delayed his time until he gets a gold jacket. Sure, he had four seasons of 18+ interceptions. Nonetheless, he still found a way to win at the end of the day. After all, he did have a record of 134-106.
I don’t want to completely disrespect Rivers, but I still expect it to be the Jonathan Taylor show. In Peyton Manning’s last days in the league, the best thing he did was arguably hand the ball off and make short passes to his weapons. I expect that to be the case with Rivers.
On the bright side, Rivers returns to a team that he bled for already. Of course, he played for the Colts and, even led them to an 11-5 record in his final season. Colts fans can shake the dust off their Rivers jerseys and wear them on game day.
