Cool post, but you obviously have no clue of what you speak. First off, Rivers was drafted and signed when brees was still the QB here. The ONLY reason rivers was drafted was because brees sucked really bad. Didn't know if he had it....his last year here brees had a good season. However, he suffered a possible career ending injury to his throwing shoulder. Since the chargers already had rivers on the bench. They decided not to resign brees., whom was a free agent. Brees wasn't exactly a popular player on the market. Only the dolphins and saints showed interest. In fact, the dolphins elected to sign Dante culpepper Instead of brees. Brees has come back and been better than ever. He defied the odds. That's kudos to him but to no fault of the chargers or rivers
