in 2020, a 38 year-old Philip Rivers had a solid season, leading the Colts to an 11-6 season, a playoff berth, and taking an excellent Buffalo Bills team right down to the wire on their homefield in that post-season.
Rivers, who had the mobility of an inanimate object such as a wooden chair, had a solid offensive line in front of him ...... if Rivers had had
THIS CURRENT offensive line blocking for him, I suspect that he may not have been able to lead that 2020 team to a 6-11 season, let alone an 11-6 season.
As I stated in another thread last week, a quarterback can only have so much "pocket presence" when the other team's players are in his face 2 or 3 seconds after the ball is snapped.

Where is Ryan's pocket presence ??? Well, a QB can only have so much "pocket presence" when he is playing behind an offensive line that is performing like that of a Division I-AA college team ...... yet despite that, Ryan somehow managed to go 27-for-37 for 222 yards, 2 TD's, 0 INT's, which was good for a 105.9 QB rating. If we can somehow get our offensive line to improve from awful to average, we just may start seeing the Matt Ryan that had so many excellent seasons when he was playing for the Falcons. The return of Michael Pittman Jr, who missed last week's game against the Jaguars with a quadricep injury, evidently made a significant difference also.
