Why would the Chargers want to trade Drew Brees? What is the obsession with not wanting him to quarterback the San Diego Chargers? This guy is a good quarterback. The past two years, he's completed nearly 65% of his passes and has a passing average near 7.4 yards per pass. That makes the running game a whole lot easier.

Think about it. On average, Drew Brees completes 2 out of every 3 passes. So, in a set of three downs, if he passes twice, odds are, he's going to complete one pass. If it's for over 7 yards, you only need the running back to pick up 2-3 yards for a first. And, if the defense is ready for run, then odds are that Drew Brees could always just throw. The odds are good he'll complete the pass.

I just don't see why the Chargers would want to get rid of Brees.

Mid-Depth,

I'll give this the old college try.

1. They are top heavy financially at quarterback

2. They got the best years out of Brees

3. Rivers is young and a lot of upside

4. Brees hurt his throwing arm at the end of the season (risky)


That's all I got

Good points. Still. I don't know. I just like the kid.
