I disagree with this. You don't have to have a top five defense to win a SB, but you have to be capable of getting stops and making plays, especially against good QBs. Also, I'm not acting like a defense is going to win a championship for us. My point is that if we're really trying to contend with Rivers at QB, the defense needs to be a lot better. -
I think this coaching and admin staff have always been about that BALANCED offense, even when #12 was QB. I dont think they've ever wanted the QB 'carrying' the offense if they can help it. Those games you reference are fair game but I think you're possibly underestimating how much Reich already calls to games recognizing who is at QB. I'm close to 100% certain that much of how the Offense played in 2020 was QB-dependent. I think they recognize those limitations. On your comment about 'game manager', I don't know that I can agree there. Rivers is already the ultimate Captain Checkdown (is that what you mean by game manager?) and he has always been more about taking what the defense gives him. He's still good at that. Throw out the Jags game because even Luck lost to them and they always give the Colts a game for some odd reason. The other two games are games I think were winnable but dont underestimate how good those defenses are. I think they forced Rivers into situations that led to the decisions he made. I dont think Rivers has ever been a hero-ball QB.... One last thing, I think even as the 7 seed this year, the Colts showed enough to get to the SB but that's just me and my personal biases. -

Oh no. If he leaves who will... uh, do whatever he does for us? What does he do? Remember all those years Caldwell was our QB coach, and his job actually consisted of making sure Peyton didn’t want a water on the sidelines? Maybe that’s what Frank makes Nick do... -

not saying you're wrong but I will say that execution played a bigger role than you're letting on here. We hat the talent to perform better than we did. If you have an A level defense but don't execute at an A level, you're going to get the same underperformance as if it was a personnel problem. In particular I think our secondary needs a coaching switchup. Our front 7 is nearly legendary but the secondary has issues that urgently need addressed. For whatever reason the issues with our secondary resulted in a lot of soft zones despite a front 7 that plays better in other formation. I think if we can get those big issues in the secondary addressed that we can compete with a lesser light at QB. -
If they make the SB, with the extra bye week to get him up to speed, I can see the Bills sign him.
