I wonder how honest, in an honest moment, how the rest of the locker room feels about this, because I would be concerned, but I guess they're also in desperation mode.

I'm guessing the Colts who have a pretty strong record.
Their fan base and their team probably feels pretty terrible because now they're so desperate that I think honestly some of those players are probably pretty excited to have Phillip Rivers there no matter how old he is because it represents like some level of hope that I

I think that there are so many other things in the game that you can rely on if you had a bunch of traits that were beneficial.

It's not on a screen.
It's not as exciting.
But the defenses that Phillip Rivers is going to face now,
