Why does everyone act as if Brees will be available next year? He's proving himself to be a capable, quality QB while Rivers sits on the bench. What happens next year is this: San Diego extends their contract on Brees and they ship Rivers and his high dollar contract off to some sad-sack team that desperately needs to promote a fresh "hot" QB.
A team that wants to fill a new stadium. A team that doesn't have anything to offer except "maybe this year!" Where Rivers plunks and dunks, gets intercepted and fumbles, and slowly learns how to be an NFL QB...and bails on the team just as he's almost good enough to be worth his contract.
Next year, if we're lucky, we'll see Warner again. He isn't the reason this team is 0-3.
