Frank Reich says Colts got a Hall of Fame quarterback when they added Philip Rivers
The have been consistent in suggesting the "" regarding incumbent starting Kevin Durant Jersey quarterback , but there was no such uncertainty when coach Frank Reich discu sed the team's latest addition under center on Tuesday. Addre sing reporters weeks after the Colts on a one-year, $25 million deal, Reich hailed the 38-year-old veteran as a "" entering the 2020 season.That's according to The Athletic's Stephen Holder, who joined other area media in talking with Reich over Zoom -- an online tool the Colts could use for team meetings amid the coronavirus pandemic. Signing Rivers was a "crazy, unique opportunity," Reich said, and when reviewing film of the longtime signal-caller, the coach "didn't see any physical drop-off" over the last two years, insisting that Rivers' "physical gifts" have not diminished at all.Rivers and the Colts were linked to each other as soon as it became apparent the Chargers would be moving on, chiefly because both Reich and Rivers previously worked -- and succeeded -- together with the Bolts. But some, namely Chargers fans who watched Rivers throw 20 interceptions in 2019, cast doubt on whether Rivers would actually be an upgrade over the 27-year-old Bri sett, who ascended to No. 1 on Indy's depth chart after abrupt preseason retirement. It's clear, as Holder noted, that Reich was always on board with the po sibility of a Rivers reunion.Rivers, in fact, already knows about "80 to 85 percent of the offense" from his previous time with Reich, even if some of the terminology has changed. That alone could go a long way toward Rivers transitioning to Indy, especially during an offseason in which pre-training camp activities could be cancelled entirely because of the pandemic.Reich doesn't nece sarily envision Bri sett only riding the bench in 2020, however. , he hinted Glenn Robinson III Jersey the former trade acquisition could have a role in certain situations, saying the ex-New England prospect is "tough to bring down."
