How is Philip Rivers Done?

I'm just wondering what happens if Taysom gets injured again, he runs like a freight train but he is susceptible to hard knocks.
That leaves Siemian and Book, kinda limited depth I'm thinking.

Ian Book did break all of Joe Montana's records at ND. He might be good enough.

Well it's up to the almighty Offense Guru now, he saw potential in Jameis and that was starting to work out.
Strangely enough when the word came that the Saints signed Jameis it was like news from Fungo Land.
But time goes by like it always does and I was totally on board with #2 behind center.
When Jameis got injured going out on the cart I was totally devastated. When they say Not For Long they aren't kidding.

Joe Montana isn't even in the top ten in Notre Dame career, season, or single game records for touchdowns or yardage. Even after Ian Book, Brady Quinn still holds basically every passing record.

Joe Montana's Notre Dame Stats

Just pointing this out.

Montana had 4121 yards passing in his ND career. Quinn almost had that much in one season (3919) and had 11,762 yards in his career.

Different era... different type of football. Still, there is a reason SP spent a draft pick on the guy.

I agree. He has potential. But he is not ready to be placed into a post-season run in any capacity. Former Notre Dame HC Charlie Weis said this very thing on Monday when a caller brought up Ian Book. He said he really likes Book, but he has a long way to go to be relied upon as an NFL QB.

One plus for Rivers is that he could almost commute from his home in Fairhope, Alabama.

So Tyler Palko might have been good enough to be another Dan Marino.

Palko ended his college career tied for SECOND IN SCHOOL HISTORY with Alex Van Pelt in career touchdown passes (66) and was second in Pitt history in career passing yardage, trailing Dan Marino by 254 yards.

Palko's NFL career stats: 8 games 4 starts 2 TD 7 INT 60.7 Career Passer Rating.
