The Cassel trade on the other hand was bad, but the big mistake was committing to him for several years instead of bringing in real competition or finding a replacement after year 3.

Brees helped the Chargers quite a bit. He started to turn the corner after the 2003 season went wrong. 2004 and 2005 he put on really good seasons for San Diego. They let him go because they invested a bunch in Rivers and he had the shoulder injury on the last game of the season.
