Rivers went out having a solid season for a solid team at the age of 39.

Good for Ballard on signing him for the one-year contract, with the Colts just missing beating one of the AFC elites in the playoffs ...... and now he (Ballard) has an equally tough task filling that QB position for the upcoming 2021 season. Such is life (most of the time) for NFL General Managers.

This is surprising. I was fairly positive he'd be back next season based upon his comments at the end of the season about how much he loved the season and the team, and how he felt like he'd be up for another season. And let's not forget that he was pushing the Colts for a two-year deal last offseason, and that he said something at the time to the effect that even though he signed a one year deal, he thought he'd play multiple seasons for the Colts.

With all this considered, my suspicion is his retirement is due to one of two things: (1) the Colts let him know they were planning to go in a different direction, or (2) his wife/family convinced him to call it quits.

Rivers became only the 2nd quarterback in the history of the NFL/AFL to throw for 4,000 or more yards in his final season.

The other QB to do the same ??? Andrew Luck.
