Let’s not forget about Joe Flacco

Joe Flacco is alive

By: Jake Rajala

Philip Rivers is all over the news for being a “44” year old QB. Even the “42” year old QB, Aaron Rodgers, got in on the fun by giving his take on the “mainstream” news. Well, let’s not forget there is another old QB that deserves attention. This would be none other Joe “Cool” Flacco, also known as the QB who has a Super Bowl trophy, which can’t be said by Rivers.

Flacco could be competing at a place that could be his true home for a couple of seasons. Joe Burrow has expressed that he is no longer having fun throwing a football for “hundreds of millions of dollars”. Wouldn’t it be a scene to witness the 29 year old, Joe Burrow, pass the torch to 40 year old Joe Flacco? Many may say it’s a lock to get a future first overall pick. Well, I believe Flacco would be more competitive than someone like Rivers or Justin Fields.

Then again, it wouldn’t be a complete surprise if Flacco hung up his cleats after this season. If this comes to fruition, then they are stuck with Jake Browning right now. I believe the Bengals fan base would rather see Carson Palmer come out of retirement than Browning play another down for them.

If the Bengals decide that they don’t want Flacco, who has a 2-8 record for them, and he decides to play another season, he will have to seek another home. Perhaps he could be the backup to a team that has a real chance of winning the Super Bowl. This team could be the Indianapolis Colts! If Rivers can come back from the dead for them, then Flacco could follow in the footsteps of Matt Ryan and Rivers by playing a few seasons for them.

Why don’t the Colts sign Kap?

Will the Colts sign another QB?

By: Jake Rajala

We all know the news: The Indianapolis Colts signed the 44 year old quarterback, Philip Rivers. If they want to think outside the box, they should consider targeting the 38 year old dual threat QB, Colin Kaepernick. He still has stayed in shape and has respect from the likes of his former coach Jim Harbaugh. That doesn’t mean that every owner might be scared to death of signing him and having many angry, drunk fans booing him.

It seems like the Colts are content with their QB room after signing Rivers. Nonetheless, let’s not forget he threw 20 interceptions in his second to last season, so it’s far from certain that he will be an acceptable game manager.

Unfortunately, the Colts couldn’t lure Eli Manning out of retirement. Perhaps he would be bitter and have Rivers replace him once again (just as he made the Chargers trade him for Rivers at the 2004 Draft).

What about the other legendary, first ballot Hall of Famers? Would Tom Brady or Drew Brees come out of retirement? My idol, Brees, would likely have the worst YPA in NFL history with his right shoulder. As for the GOAT, I believe he needs to focus on improving a Las Vegas Raiders team that is tied for the NFL’s worst record and making Al Davis roll over in his grave.

Don’t even get me started with Brett Favre.

Philip Rivers joins the Colts

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.
