firstngoal Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 A high character guy that Marv likes and a possible free agent. The only catch is what would you do with JP and Holcombe. I dont want to give up on JP just yet but what the hell! I doubt if this will happen. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACor58 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I would be pretty dissapointed. You could put anyone behind that offensive line and they would struggle if not fail. I like Brees a lot but it would king of like building a shed in your yard before you built a house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesnt happen often. I agree with you on the O line issues, but if Brees can be had, had em. Trade JP for a third and keep Holcomb as a backup. Or keep JP until his contract runs out and then deal him. Brees would be a great addition , if healthy, and he would instantly make us better for the future and now. Get er done Marv!!!!

JStranger76 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 If fear of his shoulder drives his price down a little and we still get help on the Oline, why the hell not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two teams they felt might go for Brees are Detroit and Buffalo. They felt that SD is making a major mistake letting him go but was some discussion about his injury but expectation that he will fully recover.

Trading anything for a QB that isn't Peyton Manning caliber with our team needs is stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinuch Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 We need to get a better number one or two QB than Kelly. The only thing that he does is plays just good enough to stint the growth of the young QB. He did it in Cleveland and he's done it here. We need some one good enough to step in and be a number one QB, but be someone who will not stunt anyones growth. Kelly is not a number one QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Personally, I like Brees alot. And if the Bills go after him, I won't be mad at all. However, there's a couple of things that should be pointed out. San Diego was ready to give up on him after 1 year of starting despite having a serious lack of talent around him. In fact if Rivers didn't hold out, Brees would have been a backup. However Rivers holds out, Brees lights it up, and San Diego gets super lucky. The reason I point this out is cause we have a similar case here: JP. Jp played behind one of the worst lines in football. I think it would be a little to early to give up on him yet. Secondly, are we forgetting why Brees is so successful? He probably has the best all-around rb the game has seen since Marshall Faulk. But the big difference is Antonio Gates. One of the knocks on Brees is his arm strength. Throwing to a TE is a lot easier than throws to wideouts. Plus, Brees is coming off arm surgey. I don't want this to sound like a Brees bashing post because I believe the NFL is a win now league. You do whatever it takes to improve your team, regardless if you have a high-draft pick invested at a position. I just, however, think Brees is a little bit of a gamble and I think JP deserves a better shot. And throwing in San Diego is a lot different than throwing in Buffalo. Just my 2 cents.

Bad Things Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 When Marv is able to build a dominant Offensive Line, than and only then should we consider getting a better QB. This horrific O-Line saga has gone on long enough without being resolved. Management needs to remained focused on the immediate problem at hand instead of being distracted by the shiny glittery stuff that only brings attention and false hope. As someone posted the other day... we NEED a dominating, crushing ball control Offensive Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in San Diego Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Lets see how JP does with an improved OL before we rush to do anything. Personally I think JP will be fine. He needs time to grow and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderweb Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 they talked about giving him a big deal , now they are going to let him go , sounds like a pennington deal, bad shoulder 608284[/snapback] Different types of injuries. Brees injury is far less career threatening. Brees did not tear his rotator cuff, let alone do it twice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
