Should Philip Rivers make the Hall of Fame? NFL experts debate his legacy with Chargers, plus the Colts' future at quarterback

Philip Rivers is retiring from the NFL. The No. 4 pick in the 2004 draft spent 16 seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers -- after a draft-night swap with Eli Manning, who spent his career with the New York Giants. Rivers finished his career with a final season on the Indianapolis Colts.

Rivers' 421 career touchdown passes rank fifth in league history, and his streak of 240 straight starts is second behind only Brett Favre among quarterbacks. Rivers had 12 4,000-yard passing seasons and finished his career with 63,440 passing yards, the fifth-most in NFL history.
