Just wanted to let ya'll know what people thought about it (not sure if anybody cares but for Charger fans in particular.)

I'm personally a Brees fan, I give him props because the year we drafted Rivers in the draft everybody was writing off Brees then he has a fantastic season. Personally, if we had better corners then we would have made some noise in the playoffs. But if for some reason we don't offer him a long term contract, I wish nothing but the best to whatever team he goes to.

It would be nice to have a scenario like Ben did in Pitt but doesn't look that way.. looks like we're going to see a whole lot more of L.T. throughout the coming year, go bolts! :thumbup:

If the Chargers can shore up the O-Line and get help at the safety position they will have a very good chance of winning the AFC West division regardless if they're able to re-sign Brees or not. Brees was a good QB but Gates, LT, McCardell, Parker, etc. had just as much to do with his success in SD as he did. Rivers with those same weapons will do well enough to at least make the playoffs next year.

Although a Dolphin fan, I have plenty of respect for you Chargers fan (especially after personally witnessing that 41-38 thriller back in '82) and hope another Dan Fouts comes out of that town, though Rivers and Brees are darned good QBs.

i agree that we def need to beef up our secondary (Jammer just pisses me off @ times!) and our O-Line was average @ best.

like i said before i expect to see more of L.T. this season. also, since Rivers is a rookie again this year he will be rusty the first half of the season then turn it up 2nd half... :thumbup:
