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.

Meh... beating up the lowly Jags isn't saying much. Especially late in the year once guys started getting held out or put on IR due to injury.
But yeah, they put up 45 on us... Tyrod Taylor came in at the end and even scored on us in that game it was so bad.

I'm not saying Rivers is trash. But I remember seeing some bolts games last year where he chucked it up to no one but the other team and came off the field just looking beaten.
Of all the QBs available, of all the options in this draft, I don't think the clots are playing it right going all-in with Rivers and 2020. If I was their GM I would have stood pat with Jacoby, drafted a first round QB, and addressed some other needs via the draft. Stayed young and relatively cheap. Perhaps going big at free agency spending in 2021 with a 2nd year QB at the helm (Tua, Herbert, Love)
We'll see if it works for them... I mean if nothing else, the tinhorns have gotten worse, and we're going to be really young, so they have that going for them.
