The reason that Rivers was drafted was because the Chargers, after Brees struggled in his second season, decided that he was not the QB going forward.
The reason they let Brees walk was because of his shoulder injury and the investment they made in Rivers.
The fact is, they gave up on Brees too quickly, and the investment they made in Rivers put them in a position where they couldn't keep both.
