OT: Phillip Rivers retires

[dennehy]

Probably the first of many elite QBs over the next year or two.

You have to think Brees is going to go as well, and Roethlisberger and Brady soon too.

 

[Spitta Andretti]

Brees already said he was done after this season

It's really the end of an era. Rivers, Brees, Big Ben have to be done. I could see Brady retiring if he won the SB too.

 

[Anytime23]

Hell of a career. May he now go home and relax with his 18 kids.

I don’t think so, but Jay Glazer did.

Brady
Brees
Rivers
Roethlisberger
Rodgers

We've been living through the absolute best period of quarterback play in the history of the NFL, and I don't think it'll ever be as deep of a group as it has been.

 

[ThatGuyRyan]

Our modern day Dan Marino. Never really liked him as a person

 

[Toast88]

Man, I’m really gonna miss the broadcast switching over to afternoon Chargers games in the last 2 minutes, as Rivers fails to bring his team back while down a score with no timeouts.

“60 Minutes is coming up next.”

And OFC Rodgers will be the last one standing for a few more years at minimum.

I know many here are not going to like this, but it's very possible that Rodgers is the best out of that list. It's just crazy to think that he only has one Super Bowl.

Liked this but every ERA has it's stars. These covered a similar period in time.
Elway
Marino
Montana
Fouts
Kosar
Bradshaw
Kelly


and were filled in by Moon, Cunningham and Farve while some of those dropped out. Moon was literally black balled until nearly out of his prime or would also have been on that list.

rodgers is the most talented for sure, but brady is the greatest QB of all time

 

[bamainatlanta]

That's 2 QB's in 2 years

Man, why you gotta do this to me, dawg? Is it because I made fun of your username the other day?

This is a better way of saying what I said. Good point.

Did you make fun of my username? I dont even remember.

I had to. TBD is going to lose his damn mind.

EDIT: I remember the username joke.

It's quite the debate, but I'm also taking into account (for better, or worse) changes in style of play, officiating, and coaching.
