Indianapolis Colts Philip Rivers appraisal not a referendum of the man, but the quarterback
January 11, 2021
January 11, 2021
The debate over Philip Rivers as a potential starting quarterback got a little bit weird on my YouTube channel. On today’s Breakfast with Kent, I said he can’t win a Super Bowl because he cannot run or throw deep, and hasn’t been to a Super Bowl in a 17-year career. Commenters reply that I must dislike Rivers.

Colts quarterback quandary – can’t win Super Bowl with Philip Rivers – might not make playoffs without him

The reason to move on from Philip Rivers as Colts quarterback has nothing to do with the bad plays he avoids, but the great plays he cannot make. The lack of mistakes is not enough to win a championship. The well-earned rap on Rivers when he left the Chargers to join the Colts was the […]
Indianapolis Colts – Good is the enemy of great, and Philip Rivers is the king of good

Anyone who has worked with a competent manager for 15 minutes has heard the phrase “Good is the enemy of great.” Anyone who has watched the Indianapolis Colts play football this season mutters it to himself in his sleep. The Colts are good, and they have been mostly good for a long time. Only three times […]
Philip Rivers will win some and lose some for Colts – Get used to it!

Colts quarterback Philip Rivers threw two ill-advised passes yesterday that were caught by Cleveland Browns defenders, and they cost the Colts the game. Rivers did the same thing against the Jaguars a month ago. He will do it again. For the Chargers last year, Rivers did the same against the Kansas City Chiefs twice, Denver […]
Time is coming for Colts, but 2020 is not going to be their year for four reasons

Minds are being lost over the Indianapolis Colts 3-1 start. Indulging in optimism is fine, but it’s time to ratchet back the hyperbole a couple of levels. The Colts are in a beautiful position moving forward with tens of millions under the cap to spend (or not) during the upcoming offseason. General manager Chris Ballard […]
Colts QB Philip Rivers can’t turn back the clock, but has to find a way to slow it down

Colts quarterback Philip Rivers needs to find a way to stop the clock, but God doesn’t allow us three timeouts and a two-minute warning. He’ll turn 39 in December, and last year played like it. Tom Brady and Drew Brees are outliers in their ability to perform well past the age of decline, and Rivers […]

Statistics don’t lie, but they can mislead. Here are some real numbers that many, including me, have cited to tamp down optimism among Colts fans who believe they are ready to go back to the Super Bowl. Philip Rivers threw 20 interceptions last season for the 5-11 Chargers. That’s a lot of turnovers and a lot […]
