After the season, the Chargers offered Brees a 5-year, $50 million contract that paid $2 million in base salary the first year and the rest heavily based on performance incentives. Brees took the incentive-based offer as a sign of no confidence by the Chargers and promptly demanded the type of money a top 5 "franchise" quarterback would receive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drew_Brees |

If Brees was so great at that time we woulden't have had the 1st pick overall (based on a 1-15 record). |

Are you reeruned? San Diego has had supreme talent for the last 7 years. That is what has gotten them to the playoffs. Not Norv Turner. He sucks ass as a head coach. Marty>Norv. End of story.

If anything be fair, the only reason Rivers was drafted by that team is because of how inept Brees had been to that point.

Keep it up, ****ball. And it's pretty ****ing difficult to get to the Super Bowl when your starting running back isn't even playing, let alone your stud LB. |

Very true. But after Brees' 2005 performance It was obvious they had something special if they just gave it time to play out. Brees has a Superbowl ring. Rivers has playoff wins.

And Brees had a very extreme injury that he's very lucky to have come back from.
I think the Chargers made the proper call, Rivers is a franchise player and a top 5 QB, he's not a reason the Chargers don't have a bowl. If anything he's the reason they keep winning the division and have won playoff games. |
