1. Even days after the fact, I still cannot believe that the Chargers cut the cord with Drew Brees. Over the past two years, he has been a top 5-10 quarterback in the NFL. And frankly, range 6-10 is stretching it. Just take a look at all of the big plays Brees made last season (Indy, Philadelphia, New England) in the big spots. And Brees was the unquestioned leader of the team. I understand he had surgery to repair a torn labrum, but he will be ready by June. The Chargers are making a colossal mistake.
