And I'm sure Philip Rivers is really capable. But shouldn't they keep Brees and at least let the two compete for the starting job?? I mean, we don't want to have to depend on Feeley if Rivers gets injured. I don't want to be singing the woulda coulda shouldas next year because we have the reincarnation of Ryan Leaf. It seems to me someone like AJ who hates uncertainty would be willing to part with a little of the salary cap for a proven QB vs. one he hopes can make it. "

JP wrote on February 21, 2006 12:40 PM:"This article was written in a very skewed manner. It suggests that the Chargers are actively trying to divest themselves of Brees. The fact of the matter is the guy suffered an injury which could be an ongoing problem at a time when he is also asking for big-time guaranteed money. Unfortunately for Brees, the Chargers have leverage. Brees is hurt and the Bolts have Rivers. They're exercising that leverage. Good for them."
