I think we have a golden opportunity with the situation that's developing in San Diego. They have a first round pick backing up a young pro bowler. I'm sure the Chargers are open to trading one of them. The reason I say Rivers is because Drew Brees is establishing himself as one of the top QBs in the league and I think the Chargers would be willing to trade a player who has never started a game for them and who is unproven over a top 5 QB. You might ask "why would we add an unproven QB to our roster?" Who is proven on our roster? Atleast this QB has potential and youth, two things we don't have at his position.

I dont think the Chargers could take the cap hit it would take to trade for Rivers. It would just kill there cap next year. If they trade a QB Brees would be easier to trade because of the hit.
 
they are too afriad last season was a fluke for brees...rivers is their only insurance if that is true. they won't give him up.

well said.
 
Rivers would be fine and dandy except for one little nagging fact. He will never be a succesfull NFL QB. He's not a franchise QB of the future. His draft position is NO reflection of his ability. His mechanics are terrible.

Just because a QB gets drafted in the top 5, doesn't mean he will be a superstar. Even if the opporunity arose to trade for Rivers, I'm confident Saban and the Miami scouts would do their homework enough to recognize that this guy will never make it in the NFL. Mark my words, Rivers will never be a great NFL QB.
