Drew Brees

blillyl · November 8th, 2004, 09:47 AM

So what will it take to pick up Drew Brees? With the way he is playing, possibly MVP, I am sure he is going to demand significant money, or a trade. Further, I don't think that any team can afford to pay 2 big money quarterbacks, particularly S.D. when they are going to have to pony up some big money for their star tight end. So if Brees becomes available, is he worth going after and what do you think it will take to get him (Bryant Johnson and a # 3).

Isn't it funny? Could have got him for practically nothing at the end of last year. Know what else is funny. If we would have traded for him back in February, the reaction on this board would have blown a server.

I woulda been happy. I have Brees on most of my fantasy teams.

The way I see it Arizona would have to be the #1 place for any FA QB to come to. Whereelse would you have the targets the Cards have.

I'll give them a second and a third. If that doesn't work, I'll give them a first. The kid got good, real good.

Brees looked worse than McCown for 2+ years. Then he matured. John h and Stout would have cut him.

Denny Green knows QBs. Whatever he chooses is fine by me.

If Brees has any choice of where he can go he will not choose AZ.

hey - I'm all for cutting Josh a little slack here Skkorp after yesterday but the above is just FLAT OUT RIDICULOUS - In Brees' first full year starting - he and LaDanian got that woeful Chargers team out ot a 7-1 start - he looked pretty good at that point and then started to spiral downward - but at least he looked good coming out of the gates - you can't say the same for Josh and ignoring Brees' start(or maybe not remembering it) really makes your position on the whole issue look kinda foolish.

Brees will have every chance to go where ever he pleases. The only way he stays in SD is if they franchise him.........at a cost of $9MM......and that ain't happening.

I personally think Brees would look very favorably at the Cardinals.........especially considering the WR's we have plus the RB will get either through FA or in the draft.

Miami Dolphins will grab him, they need a good QB and new head coach!

Drew is a free agent when the season ends so unless San Diego uses their franchise tag on him he won't have to be traded for...but IF Green decides to go after him he will be competing with Green Bay and Miami for his services(just to name 2 teams off the top of my head).

I am getting tired of watching our current QB play it too safe and make very few big plays...but that said I am still hoping he develops in the second half of the season and we can do something else in the offseason(like find a TE, RB, some OLineman who actually earn their salary, another CB and a big--if even part time--run stuffing DT to clog the middle).

If you were Brees would you play in the winter weather that comes for half the season in GB.

I don't see him in Miami........he and Boston got along like oil and water. And would you rather play for a team heading into a new stadium with an offensive minded coach that is on the rise or a team that will be struggling behind an O-Line that's worse than ours as in Miami.

If we want him, we have a lot going for us in a recruiting war.

Unfortunately it comes down to more than just recruiting, reputation and most importantly MONEY will play huge roles in his decision.

We don't need a new QB what we need is a better offesive line. When Josh gets protecttion he is pretty accurate with his passes. Brees would get killed behind this offensive line.
