Obviously right choice for an injured QB whose team drafted Phillip Rivers because they weren't sure Drew could recover. Miami felt the same way. We didn't.

Perspective is everything. Brees had one of the best RB's to ever play in the NFL in the backfield with him to start his career and a solid defense to boot. He didn't throw it all over the place to stay in games or win them. The Chargers felt that they couldn't pass on a big 6'5" QB when they picked early in the draft (due mostly to poor management of the team from the top down and not Drew Brees, though they made a scape goat out of Drew).
