And Rivers' trade value took a nosedive today, and given that and Brees' injury, dealing him likely won't happen.

Rivers did nothing today in a meaningless game against a disinterested opponent.
His trade value is based on his previous salary (two years ago) and his time in the league versus what a Top 5 (Leinhart) will command in new 2006 $$.
A shoulder separation (degree not reported) certainly has some impact on Brees but if it is limited - S.D. would be foolish (IMHO) to cast their dice with Rivers.
The Chargers played the worst NFL schedule - yet posted the best record against the best of the rest.
I blame Marty !
