It worked out great for both sides. One thing I'd like to say... Drew Brees might not have became the Drew Brees he is now if he stayed in San Diego. Our offense was catered to allow him to be the player he is now... I don't think that would have happened over there.

Had he stayed in San Diego, he'd still be successful. Then you guys might have ended up with Rivers... but you would have had to make a trade.

I think that Rivers may just be second to P. Manning in the AFC. Everyone likes to lump Brady in there but at this time I would put Rivers and maybe Carson Palmer above him.
