chargers cutting brees

I think they got a pretty damn good replacement plus he is younger

Yhis is the problem with strict adherance to the best player available principle. Sometimes it puts you in a no win situation. A better way to approach decision making is best player available that can improve your team the most.

They didn't cut/release Brees. He was a free agent and they werent going to pay #1 QB money to both guys.

Rivers is a pompous arse, but a good quarterback. I don't like the way they treated our boy, but Rivers is doing a good job for them.

If I was the Chargers I'd rather have Rivers, if I was the Saints I'd rather have Brees.

Though aside from posting prettier stats, what more has Brees accomplished? The Saints went to the NFC CG his first year, but have not made the playoffs the last 2 years. SD has made the playoffs all 3 years including 1 trip to the AFC CG.

Chargers let go of the wrong man but it was a blessing in disguise for us. Not only does Drew put up the numbers but he is a team leader, respected in the locker room and on the field, plus a humanitarian for N.O. community. Rivers can't even get along L.T. let alone anybody else in that locker room.
