That's due to AJ Smith, the GM of the Chargers, running scared after Brees tore up his labrum in a meaningless pro bowl. But they would have probably pulled the trigger anyway. Brees was a free agent. Rivers was on a rookie contract. Smith had already done the dirty deed and traded up to #1 to get Rivers. There was no way the Chargers were not going to give him the reigns.

But I get sick of Brees just "being in the discussion". Check the facts in the last 4 years:

1) #1 in every significant QB category.

2) More passing yards (18000+) is a 4 year span in the history of the NFL.

3) New record for completion percentage (70.6 %)
for a season. And this isn't just dinking and dunking the ball. Brees' YPC last year was over 12 yards.

4) He was the MVP of the league last year. Just jobbed by the usual suspects.

So like I said: not subject to discussion.
