KurtGodel77 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I'd go with Brees. Brees is the third-ranked QB in the league; whereas Rivers is an unknown. Sometimes you take a QB with a high pick and he turns into Peyton Manning or Chad Pennington. Other times, he's Ryan Leaf or Tim Couch. Why should San Diego take that chance? If Rivers was worth the 4th overall pick in the 2004 draft, he should be worth at least that in this coming draft. Especially since the team taking him won't have to eat the cap room for his signing bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_BiB_ Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I had heard that they were going to use a good bit of their cap room to keep both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevbeau Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I think the guy they should lock up long term is Antonio Gates. Yes, Brees is playing well, but gates is tearing it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gross Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I had heard that they were going to use a good bit of their cap room to keep both. 141290[/snapback] In which case you have to start Rivers. They did draft him in the first round...can't let him wither on the vine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I said it back in May and I guess I've been proven right, they shouldn't have given up on Brees and should have never picked Rivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
