DarthICE Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 New orleans drafted Drew Brees. Which bizarro world did that happen in? What? Where did anyone say he was drafted by NO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 What? Where did anyone say he was drafted by NO? You're saying miami passed on him and NO took him. Then you're comparing it to bradford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Injury is injury. Miami and other teams passed on Brees probowl or not because of the shoulder. Per the original post, Bradford is NOT injury prone, his shoulder will be fine and he will end up being a hell of a QB for someone. I can only pray it's us A QB chosen in the top 10 is going to get insane guaranteed money. He'll probably get more guaranteed money than Brees got when he signed with NO. I'd have a lot more faith in paying a former NFL pro bowler than a guy who played a few college games this year in a system that hasn't produced one quality NFL QB. There is an enormous difference between Brees after SD and Bradford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Bradfor reminds me of ol Jim Kelly coming out of colllege with the shoulder injury and same talent. We lucked out with him, mayne we will luck out with Sam B as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003Contenders Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 There is no denying that Brees is a fine QB, but I wonder if New Orleans (which plays all of their home games in a dome -- and all of their division games in warm climate) would have been as eager to sign him to a contract coming off that shoulder injury if the playing conditions had been like Buffalo's?

So by your logic dont' draft anyone because they get paid too much and haven't done anything yet. Look Rookie salaries are what they are and I don't like them either but it is what it is. I pull the trigger and I trade up and get him. He gets paid what he gets paid. I am not going to pass on a chance for a guy that could very well be our franchise QB due to money. Maybe he is the answer, maybe he isn't, but I am not going to take a lesser guy in lower rounds for fear of cap issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 passed on him as a free agent So you and dice happen to know ever detail of what Brees wanted. It's not possible he though NO was better and Miami wasn't offering enough. Miami maybe felt they had better for cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roch_Paul Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I seem to recall a QB by the name of Jim Kelly had a shoulder injury in college and had to prove himself healthy at draft time... I'd say that worked out for the team that drafted him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure he said that was his first option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphins passed on Drew Brees twice The article explains the whole Dolphins/Brees situation. Dolphins went with Culpepper instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Trooth Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 With that logic, let's bring in Chad Pennington. If Chad is unwilling to come aboard, I say we give serious thought to Bradford in the 2nd. Maybe we'll get about as much from him as we got from Todd Collins. BRADFORD IS FOOLS GOLD!!!

But if you're going invest all that money into someone, you have to be as certain as you can be that is the guy you build your team around. I think there are too many questions IMO to trust that Bradford is that guy. We'll see I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are too many questions IMO to trust that Bradford is that guy. We'll see I guess. What Questions? Who doesn't play in a more open offense these days? Injury? He has had one serious one and has been given the green light by the best sports orthopod in the biz. Strong arm, reads the field and makes right decisions extremely quick, great accuracy, great ability to hit WR's in stride, great leader. Don't know how this guy has many questions about him. He checks out at the combine and the guy will be a top 5 pick tops. Too bad we won't do what's needed to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDaDdy Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Can a moderator please merge this thread with the other already started by DarthICE regarding NFLN says Bradford's arm is getting better? What a waste of new threads. Same ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Trooth Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 He checks out at the combine and the guy will be a top 5 pick tops. Dude... Mirer, Leaf, Couch, Harrington, Carr, Akili Smith, J. Russell were all top 5 pix. Which one of those do you have a man crush on? Bradford ain't done schitt. His backup this past season performed as good, or better, than him. The last QB to come out of Oklahoma and play in the NFL was Jack Mildren...and he didn't even take one snap at QB... he was converted to a safety. Bradford is not a franchise QB.

What a waste of new threads. Same ****. Then why are you responding to the thread? You know that is the same old thing I have asked for years. If you don't like a poster or the thread they have started, why even read it let alone post on it? It doesn't make sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I do see similarities between Bradford and Pennington (when he was coming out of Marshall): both are heady, accurate QBs -- but neither has/had a cannon for an arm.
