Would we have signed Brees had he NOT had that injury (1 Viewer)

We'd probably have either Steve McNair and Reggie Bush or Matt Leinart and an extra draft pick (after trading down).
 
Saints fans in a way should be thanking that Broncos lineman for hitting Brees in the shoulder and injuring him, so that events could unfold the way they did, allowing him to come to New Orleans.
 
That means the Chargers would have got rid of Rivers - who would have seen a lot of interest from several teams. Boy, we could have ended up with Vinnie Testerverde or Culpepper (or worse)?????

Considering that we could have had Young, Leinart, or Cutler with the 2nd overall; Kellen Clemens, Charlie Whitehurst, or Brodie Croyle in the 2nd round, somehow I feel we could (would) have fared better.
 
Brees may not have ended up here but we had one thing going for us that Miami didn't. We could have afforded his contract healthy or injured. That said, other teams would have been interested and we may not have got him anyway.
