Skip & Shannon reflect on Philip Rivers' career as he retires after 17 seasons | NFL | UNDISPUTED

8-time Pro Bowler Philip Rivers will be retiring after 17 NFL seasons. Rivers ends a successful career finishing 5th in completions, yards, and touchdowns. He was never able to reach the Super Bowl though, and he ended with a 5-and-7 playoff record. Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe discuss whether they will remember Rivers’ career in a positive or negative light, and whether he deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame.

Beat Mahomes in KC, beat Rodgers a few months ago...he beat the best and never missed a single game despite his paraplegic scrambling ability...unreal

[@brosmer92]

@Kiki He beat all of those quarterbacks head to head brother. And some insane defenses. Spanking the raiders twice a year didn’t put him top 5 all time in numbers. He played with more HOF QB’s than any other time in NFL history man. Not winning a ring doesn’t reflect badly on him. He did his job better than most. His numbers and success speaks for itself.

[@dominiquerobinson8888]

@Kiki He's in the HOF cause you can't deny his numbers and milestones he's achieved. But I do agree that his other points are excuses for not winning. There's no shame to losing to those qb's, but you're just not on their level. So he's HOF just not in that class of top 10-20 qb's all time.

Philip Rivers has been on some loaded football teams and yet never got to a Super Bowl. Heading into the 2009 postseason, I was convinced that the San Diego Chargers were the best team in all of football. They ended up being one-and-done thanks to the New York Jets, who were just lucky to be there.

[@dranzmaxwell3090]

For several years they had the most talented roster in the League, but Norv Turner and that organization could never pull it together. I remember when they fired Marty Shottenheimer after going 14-2 in the regular season, but losing to the Patriots in the Divisional Round that it was gonna be rough for a few years.

[@cjs83172]

One problem the Chargers had, and the Rams and even the Raiders had the same problem, was that home field advantage did not truly exist in Southern California, either in San Diego or Los Angeles, mainly because of the weather and the stadiums. There's a reason why all the Chargers' signature post-season wins have been on the road and their most crushing post-season losses have all been at home. A playoff game in San Diego was basically a neutral site game, and the same was true regarding the L.A. Coliseum when the Rams and even the Raiders played there, which made it harder for the Chargers, because they did not have the advantage that a home team normally enjoys for a post-season game.

Rivers is a superior talent to Ben roethlisburger and Eli manning even tho they have “rings”, yes it’s a team sport. His kicker always failed them in the playoffs multiple times, LT always hurt, terrible o-line surrounding him most his career and he still put up top 5 numbers, ever! He is top 5 in almost every major category in the nfl! How is that not hall of fame worthy? Lol Never seen a tougher qb with that much poise in a surrounding pocket about to collapse & the battles he went thru on such an inept organization run by spanos (worst owner ever)

[@TH1NK_BLU3_495]

As a die hard Rams fan I will say football will miss Philip Rivers he was simply fun too watch and like unc said he played in an era with great QBs its equivalent to sir Charles playing in the Jordan era, cant blame these greats for not winning a chip. Its extremely hard too win overall let alone in an era of greats. See you around Philip.! Rams4Life!!!

[@GrexofFaria]

He definitely going into the Chargers Hall of Fame. He will get in, just probably won't be first ballot. His numbers speak for themselves, and isn't Dan Marino in with his zero Superbowl wins?

[@arnuvbatra5781]

And Warren Moon is in with 0 and one could easily argue Rivers was better than Moon or Jim Kelly (who's also in with no SBs)

[@Abbad1579]

Yeah but Rivers only made 1 championship game.

[@Ah-ws9nm]

@@arnuvbatra5781 he was not better than Warren at all. But Phillip is definitely underrated. I’d still take him over Eli even with the two rings

[@arnuvbatra5781]

@@Ah-ws9nm agreed you also can't blame the guy for being in a league with Peyton, Tom, and Big Ben. In his 17 seasons in 14 of them, those three guys won the AFC. If he was born 5 years earlier or later he'd def be one and we shouldn't hold that against him.
