So San Diego...

To be honest, Brees didn't really look good until his last season in San Diego. He was pretty much considered a bust before then, even getting benched in favor of Doug Flutie once.

If only Brees had signed with Miami instead. . .

Drew Brees is 31, Philip Rivers is 28. When Philip Rivers is 31 and doesn't have a SB ring, then you can say they made a mistake.

Rivers is a top QB in the league and probably would have been in the SB had Kaeding done his job and kicked field goals.

*also, them letting Michael Turner go was by far the bigger mistake, now they're stuck with a worn out LT and Sproles(who doesn't have the body to be an every down back.) They'll be stuck using their 1st round on a RB this year.

I think the biggest mistake was getting rid of Marty.

marty can't win in the playoffs. it's no coincidence, and he wasn't just getting unlucky.

the only questionable decision was hiring norv turner, who has actually done surprisingly well.

as well as phillip rivers has played in san diego, i'm sure its hard to swallow a super bowl where peyton manning (1 pick away from having him) and drew brees (let him walk for nothing) squared off.

I don't really see Brees as being better than Rivers. Either way, it's pretty ridiculous to assume that San Diego would have won the SB if they had Brees.

Brees is better than little mr. bitchy pants. not only does he not throw like a girl, he also has the uncanny ability to keep his mouth shut. He also has a Lombardi trophy and Rivers doesn't.

I'd say he's better

Rivers will definently at least GET to a Super Bowl in his career. Now winning one? I just don't know how much longer the Chargers will be competitive with their star players starting to age. LT made that offense dominant. Brees, as of right now, is the better QB.

LT struggled this year and they were fine. Plus, RB is one of the easiest positions to replace. Being in a pretty weak division, they still have window of another couple of years, and maybe longer since they've drafted pretty well.

... How's that whole Philip Rivers thing working out for you?

Eli Maning was traded for Phillip Rivers and what eventually became Merriman and Kaeding. Next Rivers sat on the bench for two years while Brees started. At the end of the 2005 season Brees blew out his shoulder and was questionable as to how he would rehab. The Chargers had Rivers ready to go and decided to let Brees, a FA walk. Probably a decision that had to be made.

Rivers is 46 and 18 in his first four season as a starter, I think the Bolts will be OK, they just need a running back so Rivers isn't forced to become Dan Fouts.

I'd trade Brees for Rivers in a heartbeat, but that's just me. Upside the next 5-8 years looks much better. We'll see.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
