“(We) went back and watched his play from the past two years and didn’t see any physical drop-off,” continued Reich about Rivers,, who previously worked with Rivers as the Chargers’ quarterbacks coach (2013) and offensive coordinator (2014-15).
Reich, for the record, says he did watch all of Tom Brady's tape from the past two years as part of their free agency evaluation. Rivers was a better "fit," but Brady was impressive. "I don't understand how he's still doing it," Reich said.

Colts staff watched the last 2 years of Tom Brady's tape in their evaluation of him. "We know he's the best of all time for a reason," Frank Reich says. "Don't understand how he's doing it (at his age)."

The Colts signed Rivers to a one-year, $25-million contract.
The 38-year-old, who led the Chargers to a 5-11 record in 2019, is coming off one of his worst seasons after tossing 20 interceptions with only 23 touchdown passes.
Brissett, meanwhile, started 15 games for the Colts last season following Andrew Luck’s shocking retirement. He managed seven wins while amassing 2,942 passing yards and 18 touchdowns against six interceptions.
