Rivers fate (Merge)

Move on.

 

There will be some good options available..

Stafford, Darnold, Rodgers, Trubisky, who knows what teams might do.

Rodgers? Why on earth would GB trade the league MVP? He's been durable the past few years. And an elite QB. He's only 37. I could see him playing into his 40's like Brees and Brady.

He's been talked about a lot as a trade option. A lot of Lions insiders and reporters are suggesting the Lions move on from him. Kinda similar to the Matt Ryan situation. 

If Rivers retires im ok sending 1 for Stafford. If they want more hang up and draft QB.

It's the way we lost, I just felt like we gave it away. I thought we outplayed them. I hate the season is over. I feel bad for Phil because I thought he played well. I feel bad for our team. Great group of guys. Fun season.

It’s not the players that gave it away. That’s why I absolutely hate this loss

Yeah I do not want to overpay for him. I don't know why, but I honestly have a good feeling about Eason. His arm talent is underrated.

He will most likely be the backup in 21

I wonder if we let Brissett play on a team friendly one year deal. I don't think it's that crazy.

If that happens Eason will be 3 again cause there's no way Brissett is starter

Question is. Who is the alternative?

 

We were spoiled by great QB play for like 20 years.

 

Now we are seeing what it's like to be most other franchises without a QB.

Sure, the question of the alternative is challenging. But I would prefer a younger and more mobile qb. 

 

I don't think you should stick with a 38 year old qb whos play is clearly declining and you know tjat he won't be good enough to win it all. 

I would rather take a shot at a younger qb. If hes not good enough, ok.... Move on.... nothing lost

I don't know, it seems to be the unpopular opinion around here but I think the team values 7 more than we do, by a lot.

[tucky89 46]

No to Stafford & Ryan type QB's. And no to Brissett. We know what these guys are. They aren't terrible. But they aren't game changers.

 

I want us to either draft a QB or start Eason next season. Worst case scenario is Eason sucks and we draft high in 2022.

i'd be on board with it, but dont see why they would take that.  they dont need to trade him

I agree. I was just wondering if anyone could offer names.

 

Personally I'm in favor of starting Eason next year. Or drafting a QB this year. If we suck next year at least we know who the answer isn't.

 

No band aids like 28-3 Ryan or Stafford. No Brissett.

 

We know these guys. They are what they are. All are either old, limited, or just meh.

 

I don't want to be stuck in the middle. That team that might contend for a postseason spot. But doesn't have a legit SB shot. And is drafting in the middle.

If we want another season like this year, then bring Rivers back. I think he’s played “decent” enough but not sure if he can take us the distance. I think fans want to see Eason. But if he’s not ready we’re going to need to sign a FA Vet and it could be Rivers again. 

That’s the correct answer. 
 

I think Rivers taking that Hail Mary play (when everyone knows JB has the better arm) means that was his last play.

I'm fine with him being backup not starter

Really hope he retires. I don't see how they resign him after not being able to throw the ball 40 yards on the hail mary. 

I was actually surprised Jacoby wasn't brought in to throw the Hail mary.

[Fisticuffs111 1,994]

Probably means nothing but Terry Bradshaw said he’s hearing Rivers is done in Indy but could keep playing. Said it pretty throw away-ish and, well, it’s Terry.

Brissett may end up back in new england have read many time how Bellicheck didnt want him or Jimmy G to go, Brady orchestrated their removals

That was interesting comments Bradshaw just made. “Hearing Rivers is done in Indy but not NFL”. 
 

Did I hear that right?

probably not because even if it came down to him and EasonI think Eason would win out.

 

But there are a few teams I could see him starting on.

He could start in Cincy cause it appears Burrow might be out til 22

I could also see him starting for WAS, CAR, NE, NO, (could backup TB12 in tampa as well) I mean the dude is gonna get his shot. I'm sure of it.

Phil already said Indy or retire.

That is dumb unless he takes a broadcast  and rivers has already signed on to coach and says he doesn’t want a broadcast job.
