Now, I know Phillip Rivers is a good one, may soon be great for a a few seasons. But do they look dumb now for not having faith in Brees/.

It's not like Brees has been winning Super Bowls since he left SD.. It took him a while to get there.

Questions like these are stupid.

Philip Rivers is a top 5 or 6 QB in the league, he's younger and has all the tools to become one of the best.

The Chargers didn't lose to the Jets because of Rivers, they lost because of their inability to sustain a running game and to stop NY's run game.

Drew Brees is great, but if I'm a Chargers fan I'm not losing sleep over this.

If I am the Chargers, I would have felt more stupid about firing Marty and hiring Norv Turner.

The Chargers didn't get rid of Eli. He refused to play there.

What about the other teams that don't have a star starting Qb?
Do they feel dumb as well?

I think Rivers will get the Chargers there eventually.

Well....Brees did have a shredded shoulder If I remember right.......and Rivers was there fro the taking.........I think any number of teams may have taken another QB in that spot

If Sean Payton were the coach of the Charges, Rivers would have won the Super Bowl this year.

they passed on Drew Brees twice.

they're my favorite team, but the dolphins screwed the pooch big time when it comes to Drew Brees.
