I know you guys are aware of my Rivers stance, but I will feel a whole lot better if we ended up with a couple weapons out of this draft (ultimately I'd feel WAY better if we draft a QB but that's not the convo here) but watching him vs Titans week 7 (L by 3). There's a lot

That we would be able to do with a big body WR and we've been needing Hilton's successor to come in. I love me some Pascal and he's a big dude, but he's not anywhere close to the two studs Rivers had in LA. Besides the negatives I'm currently just looking at what he could (maybe)

Do with the weapons we currently have. Btw Rivers did have Henry in this game though he may not have been 100%, and Gordon played like garbage after his return from his holdout. Yes their OL was very bad but I'm still not sure if you give him a better OL but take away his targets

That there's going to be a better result. Side note, I hope and pray the pieces we've put together on defense can stop Henry, he seems unstoppable. Anyway, I can certainly feel for Rivers in his situation last year because he was called on to be perfect every game, but damn dude

His WRs made him look way better than he was in every game I've watched. I took a break after watching 6 games and I'm picking it back up at game 7. There have been very few passes in this game that you can say anyone we have will reliably make the catch. Maybe the throws

He has made to Henry (just because it reminds me so much of Doyle's skill set) and also so far his first TD thrown in the game was a run fake on 3rd and goal from the 2 that ends up as a Gordon TD, scheme was what broke him loose though and well played by Lynn here. But you could

Still see where Rivers puts the right amount of touch and power on it and he doesn't air mail it to him knowing his best targets are going to be covered and they'd just ran it 2 straight attempts before that. However so far through this game he's been accurate on 3 attempts.

That's not me dogging him, that's the reality, he's had the Tennessee DL in his lap all game long, and TN also has a damn good secondary and that can't be denied. So I'm just saying had he been working with what Brissett had last year could he have had better results than JB?

If you ask me the answer is tricky because yes, Rivers is a better QB than Jacoby, but truly by how much? You can read me all the stats in the world but you can't tell me we have the same targets he's had to work with anywhere on this team. The Colts haven't had that kind of

Production from any tandem of WRs since maybe Reggie and Hilton's one really good season together and maybe even since Marvin and Reggie were a pair. We certainly can't discount TY, who is an outstanding Colt and entirely underrated for his entire career, but he's 30, and that

Doesn't bode well in the NFL. Behind him we have a slew of unproven possibilities. I love Pascal like I said, the two other big bodies Doyle and Cox both get my vote, and then we have Fountain coming back and what all of these guys besides Doyle and Hilton have is youth and not

Much else. Dulin is 6 foot 2, but he certainly has never popped, Hines may certainly end up with a career year with Rivers but that's only if he's not relied on as a top target. If the roster at pass catcher positions stays the same (I know it's not going to) then he most likely

Won't have the same probable production. I should also mention Parris Campbell, who I believe is going to take off this year as long as he can play to the speed of the NFL, seemed to be behind last yr. Like I just hope and pray for the sake of Indianapolis, for the sakes of

Ballard and Reich's fates which are inevitably tied together most likely, and for the sakes of the fans and loved ones whom have to hear us screaming at our TV every week, that the Colts find a gem at WR and/or tight end. It's not a secret that the Colts need one, and I'm sure

They'll get one eventually, I just hope it doesn't cost them anymore of the future they're already leveraging with Rivers and Buckner.
