Yeah... he definitely went to a team with a better OL. But not sure he has the arm to hit those deep targets (Hilton, Campbell) on the regular.
I see them leaning on their D and run game a lot.
And I just don't think that is a sustainable winning formula in todays NFL.

Now they don't have a first round pick, so they are out of the rookie QB market (first tier guys anyway). They banked on Rivers being so much better than Jacoby that it vaults them into SB contention.
I don't see it.

Didn't he put up like 50 on us last year?

I think Rivers has at least a year left.

My only question regarding his OL is Castonzo.  I am not a huge fan  of his and think he can be had (at least by Yann), but he is at least competent and experienced.  I question the receivers he would have in Indy, but until he retires, as a Jaguars fan remembering what he has done to us over the years, U am not about to question Rivers.
