what about Drew Brees?

One thing I’ll say about Brees. Now that the Saints have to go on the road to win a SB it seems no one is giving them a great chance.  Says a lot.

After the Chargers refused to increase their offer, Brees met with other teams. The New Orleans Saints and the Miami Dolphins were interested in Brees. New Orleans made an offer that included $10 million in guaranteed money the first year and a $12 million option the second year. Miami was unsure whether Brees' shoulder was completely healed and doctors suggested the team should not sign him because of the injury.^[91][92] The Dolphins ended negotiations and traded for Minnesota Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper instead.^[93] Brees signed a six-year, $60 million deal with the Saints on March 14, 2006.^[94]

 

^{Oh BTW, he was runner up for League MVP and won the division the very first year after leaving the Chargers.}

 

^{These are the same Chargers that fired their 14-2 HC.}

 

^{Yeah, they make good decisions.}

so the 29 other teams that didnt sign Brees who at the time was believed to have a potentially career threatening injury, makes the Chargers decision bad?  The Saints were the only team to offer a multi-year deal with him

oh and he was garbage in SD and only became something when he hooked up with Payton, even coming out of college there were tons of skeptics Brees would ever be more than a journeyman

The Chargers also drafted a QB in the 1st round, so why pay Brees with all the ??'s surrounding his injury when he hadnt been good
