Has this ever happened before? A QB retired for that long coming back?

 

[Tabascocat]

He is the only QB who could come in and hit the ground running. He knows their system well. Question is, is his body able? This is going to be entertaining

 

[Mikexike]

Andrew Luck would of been very interesting, I guess the cool part is you can see Rivers in 4k now on sundays

 

[Risen Star]

The Texans should respond by signing David Carr.

 

[Risen Star]

He was going to be eligible for the HOF next year but now that resets.

Only if he is on the active roster. For all we know, he may stay on the PS.

Is Richardson that bad?lol. Apparently yes

He’s on IR.

He’s on IR.

My bad

 

[Tabascocat]

My bad

Things are so dire in Indy, the TE Warren is the emergency QB behind a rookie who should be on the practice squad

Crazy man

Only if he makes active roster.

He's currently a semi finalist for the 2026 hall of fame class but will get removed if moved up to the 53.

honestly he is very unlikely to make it to the HOF anyway

How? The system he ran was many coaches ago.

The Colts offense was designed by Frank Reich and Shane Stiechen(Colts HC) in which Rivers ran while in San Diego. It is the exact same system from the Chargers.

Did Rivers get a divorce or something?

He coaches his son's football team using the same offensive play calls, so it kind of makes sense since phillip and shane usually communicate weekly.

 

[DoctorChicken]

I for one think this is pretty cool. I’m ready to see Granpa Rivers take some snaps.

Depends on what you mean by unlikely.

If he doesn't make the active roster this year then he will 100% make it to the next stage which is finalist (top 15).

He won't make the Hall of Fame this cycle, but he will 100% be in the Hall of Fame he'll just have to wait which is fine, not everyone is for sure 1st or 2nd ballot lock.
