I’m not writing this with deep knowledge of the 2020 Colts. But I am a Philologist. Normally, philology is a study of language: its origin, development, and dynamics. Since 2004, my Philology is Phil Rivers: his origin, his development, and his dynamics.
Here’s the scenario: a highly accomplished quarterback grows older, and his physical ability is being questioned by many, both nationally and in-house. His team lets the face of the franchise go, but another team, sensing a window to win, and with a strong ground game to take pressure off the passer, takes a chance on the old lion, hoping he will be the catalyst.
