Philip Rivers, to my great surprise, has been very good. When the rumor dropped that the Colts were kicking the tires on him, I was worried that Rivers would look very much like an old man and not an NFL quarterback. What we got is a player with a diminished but adequate arm and tremendous mental ability to play the game, and when you combine those two things, you end up with a pretty good quarterback. And it says a few things about the Colts, most notably that everyone in that building is nervous for their jobs, but I think it says more about who and what Rivers is than anything else.
