Rivers has a hurt toe.

[GoColts8818 4,561]

I am guessing turf toe.

[IinD 2,146]

Thank heavens.

 

Was waiting for an achilles statement in the next few days to totally ruin the season.

[coltsfansince65 843]

They say he hurt it making a block on the play right after he took a shot to the ribs. I hope these won't be lingering injuries.

[John Hammonds 1,323]

If Luck had hurt his toe, he'd be out the next season and a half...

 

Oh, did I say that out loud?  Sorry.

Rivers is tough, he will just throw dirt on it. Dude played in the AFC Title Game with a torn Achilles at one time. 

[Anonymous 49]

Please lord not Rivers. 2020 has been such a ***** year, please don't do this to Rivers now too. I speak for most Chargers fans when I say that I'll take an injury to any Charger not named Herbert or Bosa before one to PR that will end his season.

ACL not Achilles. No way he could play with Achilles torn

[LJpalmbeacher2 1,782]

If Luck had hurt his toe he would have gone to a unknown place in Europe and had a secret doctor treat it.

[Thunderbolt 451]

Iron man Rivers doesn't go down that easy.

[a06cc 462]

Not worried because we have an adequate backup for a good game plan. Defense needs DA to comeback though.

My bad it was ACL, I always do that  , still ACL is no joke.

Be fair to the dude, he played though a lacerated kidney for us.

It was a torn meniscus  L...he had surgery the Monday week of the game...and then I think after words...yeah he's tough but injuries are never good on the QB right :>)

[jchandler7 174]

Rivers may not be the g.o.a.t but he is definitely one of the toughest QB's ever and has more fire than most. He's old school, no way he lets a toe keep him from playing.

[Indyfan4life 818]

If Luck hurt his toe, he’d play through it. Like he did with the lacerated kidney and busted ribs. But let’s turn Rivers toughness into a bash Luck post.

He isn't in the top 20 QB's of all-time or top 30 realistically but he is a Hall of Famer IMO and is very good at worse. I am glad we have him and yes he is tough minded and plays in pain.

[coltfaninnewyork 676]

Tough guy won’t miss game with a toe  injury IMO

See above I corrected my post. I always get Achilles and ACL mixed up for some silly reason.

Mod Note:

Please keep this thread on topic and that means not turning a Rivers toe injury thread into a bash Luck thread.

[AZColt11 1,269]

I know where he lives.  I'll go ice it down for him.  He'll be good to go.

[DontEverGiveUp 900]

Rivers will play next week no doubt.

 

But here's a question for all the haters...

 

How confident do you feel if we had to roll with Brissett next week against the Titans?  Exactly.

I would feel better with Rivers, JB could get the job done but it would be iffy.

I disagree.  He's definitely top 30 all time, and very arguably top 20 all time.

Yeah I have to go back over and do a long list. I can see top 30  factoring in stats, durability, and regular season wins.

[Bolts2Colts 303]

Top 10 all time in QB rating, completion percentage and YPA. 
#5 in yards

#6 in TDs. 
 

Arguably Top 10 all time.

Rivers is a gamer. Played with torn ACL in 2007 AFCCG. He doesn’t play this long if he wasn’t tough. We’re seeing why we signed him. His record in November and December has traditionally been better than in September and October.

 

I am excited to see how far he takes us.

To follow this up there have been thousands of QB's in our time, so If I had Rivers at 25 that is still great.

You have to look at more than stats the game is very different and much more QB friendly league than it was even when Dan Marino played let alone guys like Johnny U.

Fair points.  But Rivers understands the game like few ever have.  He's very close to Peyton's mental level (who I consider to be top 3 all time), even if lifelong Colts fans don't want to admit it.  Unfortunately, Rivers wasted most of his career with one of the worst franchises in American sports.

I get what you're saying.

 

Most importantly to me, Rivers still has something left in the tank, despite what some in the sports media have claimed.

He may even be top 20 all-time? Top 30 I can definitely buy, even top 25 which is Hall of Fame material.

If he wins a ring this year we will have too really look at it . After today he might?

I think he’s very good but I mean is he better than Manning, Johnny U, Marino, Brady ( that one hurts) Favre, Montana, Elway, Brees, Graham, or Tittle?  That’s 10 without doing much work on it.

There have been so many greats but if someone wanted to put Rivers in the top 20 all-time I wouldn't think it would be that far of a stretch. Top 30, the more I think about it is a given. He still may play 2 or 3 more years so we will see. If a QB makes a top 50 out of 10's of thousands that have played that is even outstanding looking at it like that.
