Rivers DOES have what it takes, and the Brees injury is a blessing not a setback. From the outside looking in, im sure it's difficult for many to accept this idea. Hell, there are still so called bolt fans who are upset about the move. Who still praise Brees and do not show full support for their new team leader. We shall see them on the bandwagon soon enough. I have no ill will towards Drew and appreciate very m,uch what he and the team has done for us the past few years. Product of a good team around him? Thats a topic for another day perhaps. But for now, ITS RIVERS TIME BABY!
