Philip Rivers retires from NFL, ending 17-year career spent with Los Angeles Chargers and Indianapolis Colts

Philip Rivers is retiring from football, ending his 17-year career as one of the most prolific quarterbacks in NFL history.

Rivers, who spent this past season with the Indianapolis Colts after 16 years with the Los Angeles Chargers, said in a statement Wednesday that playing quarterback in the NFL was his "childhood dream."

While Rivers, 39, never played in a Super Bowl, it was one of the few glaring omissions on an otherwise remarkable resume. He ranks fifth in NFL history with 63,440 passing yards, behind only Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Brett Favre. The eight-time Pro Bowler also is fifth in league history with 421 touchdown passes -- again behind only Brady, Brees, Manning and Favre.

The Chargers acquired Rivers in a 2004 draft-day trade that sent the top overall pick, Eli Manning, to the New York Giants. Manning went on to win two Super Bowls with the Giants and retired after last season.

Which begs the question: Better NFL quarterback Eli Manning or Philip Rivers?

These are the types of clowns getting hired? This rah-rah “hit me in the mouth and I’ll smile” tough guy stuff sounds nice but like, can he coach football?

At this point, Eric Bienemy has to be tanking his interviews with a guarantee of taking over for Reid and coaching Mahomes. That or whatever “interview process” that leads to these rock-brained jocks being hired is broken.



Not even sure he knows what he’s saying here. Sounds like late night drunk/coked out ramblings. :lol:
