Mr. WEO Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 FTR Journeyman = any experienced, competent but routine worker or performer. Not necessarily an older QB that switches from team to team every year or 2. which may be what people associate that word with. Yes, Brees would also fit into this classification of Journeyman. I'd love a Championship but I'd enjoy a 5 to 10 year run of excellence too with a younger stud. Brees is "competent but routine"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 oye must you be so literal? did I use the right word for you WEO? Literal?? LOL---you just gave a literal definition of the word and applied it to Brees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 oye must you be so literal? did I use the right word for you WEO? Words have meanings. When your point hinges on the use of specific term, there is no other choice. Besides Brees is more of a wigwam and Rivers is your run of the mill nematode.

BmarvB Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Unlikely scenario, but if possible, we could probably get a good 2-3 years and a ring out of him depending on how well he can play here in Dec-Jan weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Did you hack WEO's account. you are definately not posting like the WEO of old. did something change? you've twisted the meaninf of my last few posts. Or was I too slow to notice this a long time ago? Edited March 18, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 In their prime? Yes. At this moment, with a possibility of a 1 year run deep into the playoffs, it's tempting but only at a reasonable salary cap cost. I wouldn't sell the team for either QB. Guarantee me a SB run and I'm all in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingant Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 5 places Philip Rivers could play if he bolts the ChargersBy Will Brinson | NFL Writer March 18, 2015 11:50 am ET http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25112547/5-places-philip-rivers-could-play-if-he-bolts-the-chargers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Please provide further detail, I would like to know what specifics are involved. You know the obvious answer. I would trade for Brees in his prime for EJ. I might even trade for Rivers in his prime for EJ. Rivers has done well. but I need to ask is he a product of the system? good enough to beat poor conference opponents and for a while losing playoff games more oft than not.

Mr. WEO Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Brees has thrown for an average of over 5100 yards the past 4 seasons and completes almost 70% of his passes- best stretch ever. He's not "in his prime"?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what is so confusing? If Doug Whaley (you are playing the role of Whaley) got a call this afternoon and said "we'd like to offer you Phil Rivers for EJ Manuel" what would you do? Same goes for Brees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Doug Whaley (you are playing the role of Whaley) got a call this afternoon and said "we'd like to offer you Phil Rivers for EJ Manuel" what would you do? Same goes for Brees oh Kirby, there is no confusion. You've thrown curve balls at me before - once bitten twice shy my friend. please forgive my resistance to fall into a trap. If you can you guarantee that Drew will play the best he's ever played while not leading the NFL in passes and passing yardage then I'd be willing to do so. Brees has thrown for an average of over 5100 yards the past 4 seasons and completes almost 70% of his passes- best stretch ever. He's not "in his prime"?? @ age 36 in his 15th season .. YES WEO, Drew is past his prime, so is Peyton Manning, and (here it is) so is Tom Brady. Philip Rivers is also on the bad side of 30. ergo on the downslope. Now before you kneejek into a responce. Just because a player is past his prime does not mean that they cannot play well. EDIT - Passing yards can also mean a weakness - Playing from behind or being one dimentional.. both are bad traits. 7-9 baby!!! feel proud Edited March 18, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
