Chargers Made Mistake

Here at Broncos Zone, we will always smack talk the Raiders, Chargers, Chiefs, and any other team that is in our way. We will not back down, not even from Phillip Rivers' lovers. And although many will disagree with me, and even I (I, who dislike more than anyone) have to admit he is a good quarterback. But the Chargers made mistakes with Phillip Rivers.
Mistake #1) In the 2004 draft they traded Eli Manning for Phillip Rivers. Top reason that was a mistake, Eli is a better leader, and quarterback, plus he has a ring, Phillip don't got one of those.
Mistake #2) In 2005 against the Broncos, Drew Breese broke his elbow after being sacked by John Lynch. The next off season the Chargers shipped Breese off to New Orleans and made Phillis queen of San Diego. Main reason that was a mistake, last season Breese came close to breaking records. And not only that Drew is a much more talented player. In 2006, Rivers was named starter, he had 22 touchdowns, the same year Breese had 26, and Eli had 24. Now you may say, "Jon, those are close numbers and Phillip has done so well." Really? Well, I'd rather have a record-breaking, Pro Bowl, Super Bowl winning, more talented quarterback than a QB that's almost as good Drew Breese or Eli Manning.
