Takeo_14 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 What does Levy and the Buffalo Bills organization do if Drew Brees is avaliable on the open market? We have JP and Holcomb. I know our problem is the offensive line. We have not had a decent o line in years. Face it! I believe whether it be JP or Kelly, give them some protection and they will do just fine. But... If you give those Kelly time you know what he can do.. JP you do not.... Drew Brees you do as well. Do you take a run at him and know that you have just improved something that many know your 2006 season just like 2005 season hinged on one main..the #1 important position to any football team..QB???

eball Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I'm a little gun-shy when it comes to QBs named Drew these days. Seriously, though, Mick Jaurlevy has already indicated that he'll build this team the right way -- from the inside out. Bringing in a high-priced Brees is not the answer when you have to address the line problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarthur31 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 He has a bum shoulder. 604313[/snapback] And his throwing shoulder no less. He may never recover completely either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Yes, we need a seriously injured qb who will cost untold millions to compliment our career backup and our underachieving "3rd year rookie." To hedge our bets, we should probably draft qbs with our first 4 picks on day 1 of the draft as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 What should we do if Brees becomes available? Watch the bidding war between other teams while we keep our phone lines open for players that we need and will fix the real problems on this team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stl Bills Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 He has a bum shoulder. For what its worth, my labrum is torn at both junctures. From what my doctor tells me the labral tear (what Drew Brees has) is pretty bad, especially in the front (its torn 50-75%). Anyway, I'm in absolutely no pain and the surgery to fix both tears is going to be done arthoscopically. The recovery doesn't sound too bad or too lengthy. In all honesty I wouldn't be that worried about his shoulder, I think he'll be fine. I actually hurt my shoulder in June but refused to believe I was really that hurt. Hell, I was even lifting weights on it until January when I went skiing and fell and tore it some more. Then I finally got it looked at and found out that it actually is screwed up. The reason surgery is always required on Labral tears is that the Labrum is cartilage and really has no way of healing itself. It looks like there is a real good chance that Brees will be available, I'm just not sure we have the money to afford him and still fix both lines.

As for what happens then, oh, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe (and just maybe) if the Bills did not have more immediate needs to produce a winning team like (1. Resource commitment to bolster the DL to stop the run and get consistent pass pressure to make the Cover 2 D work well, 2. Resource commitment to simply make the OL adequate, 3. Replacement of the likely FA cap casualty losses like Moulds, 4. getting a solid back-up for WM, 5. getting adequate TE play then if all these things were not higher priorities than spending on a QB the getimg Bress would merely be a stupid risk. In light of our other real needs, doing what it would take financially to get Brees would simply be insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion: NO! FIX THE OFFENSIVE LINE FIRST!!!!!!!! 607656[/snapback] That's right. Have to start at the OL which needs improvement. If Ferguson is there at #8, and Nick Mangold is there in the second round, I think these two would be good picks for the Bills. A DT pick up in free agency might be a good idea. Ryan Pickett and hopefully Ted Washington would be good options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
