Outlaw Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/01/20/philip-rivers-retiring-from-nfl/ Wonder if this makes Frank come after Wentz? Philip Rivers has decided to call it a career. Colts General Manager Chris Ballard said last week that he expected to meet with Rivers in a month to discuss the quarterback’s plans for the future. That meeting won’t be necessary because Rivers told Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune that he is retiring from the NFL after 17 seasons. Rivers said that he’d considered retirement in recent years, but that "this is the first year I felt like the ending was real.” "It’s just time,” Rivers said. "It’s just right. . . . I can sit here and say, ‘I can still throw it. I love to play.’ But that’s always going to be there. I’m excited to go coach high school football.” Rivers ends his career with 63,440 passing yards and 421 passing touchdowns. He’s fifth in NFL history in both categories and ranks high in several other metrics. He was never able to make it to a Super Bowl with the Chargers or Colts, which is the biggest missing piece of an otherwise standout career that came to an end on Wednesday.

FranklinFldEBUpper Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 It annoys the hell out of me when people misspell his name. It's Philip (like a normal person), not Phillip (like a weirdo). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimm Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Shame he wasted his career floundering on the Chargers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_u_in_tampa Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 He has like 12 kids so hopefully he'll enjoy his time home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricAllenPick6 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 He is as tough as they come. Can't believed he played the AFCCG without an ACL! Lack of any real playoff success will hurt is HoF chances, but I still think he belongs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Philly Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Always liked Rivers and I have watched many of Chargers games because of him, the dude is one of most competitive QB I’ve seen in all my years of watching football, I wish him well.
