Stl Bills Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Says this means the two sides are SERIOUS right now (well no sh*t Mort, I thought Miami was just messing around). NO is still in the fold but it looks like Miami might be the front runner right now. Don't know how to feel about all this: I don't want Miami getting this much better but I want the Saints to draft a QB with there first pick.

ajzepp Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I'd be pissed cause I hate it when likeable players go to Miami.....I couldn't believe how awesome it was when JJ signed up as head coach......that was perfect. I give Brees credit for raising his game when they drafted Rivers, though....I think the guy has balls. That's not the kind of player I want in our division, particularly at Miami.

Stl Bills Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 NO offered a deal worth about $10 mil a year according to Mort. So I'm sure it will be something like that, hopefully a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Drew is smart and holds out for the big bucks. As I said before, he's damaged goods, the Dols have no LT or center, and they have Mularkey as their OC.

My labral tear was considered very bad (tore about 80% of the thing), and while I'm no NFL QB I am young and pretty athletic, and I expect to be 100% by the end of May. IMHO he'll be just fine.

Many thought the Bills were stupid to let Bledsoe go and give the reins to JP. Perhaps...but, Drew was old and too immobile to function on a team with a piss-poor OL. You can debate whether the Bills would have been better with DB...but, no way are they a playoff team last year even with DB. So, if the Bills kept DB, JP would be that much further behind in his development. Brees is relatively young and fits SD's style. If he's healthy, why would they turn their O over to a QB with virtually NO experience? Do they have other QB options...or is Rivers the man?

Word is that his shoulder isn't coming along as fast as his doctor says it is. Otherwise why would you let him walk? And if he accepts a reasonable deal with Miami that could easily be matched by SD, why wouldn't he have accepted that type of deal in the first place? The Chargers are futher along than the Dols.

I'll be changing that reasonably soon as the sauce is on the stove and the wine is FINALLY open. So, how does the addition of the awesome AJ Feely impact my question? Did they get AJ to be the starter? I figure he's a questionable #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an unresolved power struggle between Marty-two shoes and AJ. Spanos called the boys in and told them to play nice. Current evidence indicates no progress - they have $20 Mil to spend. For a team that needs winning seasons to justify the public ballot vote on a new stadium - they are doing everything wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 The ONLY thing that makes sense is that Brees is damaged goods. With the way their offense has been running with him, the amount of money they have in cap room, and the fact that the Dols are looking to give him a contract based on him returning to pre-injury form, there's no other way to look at it BUT that way. A power struggle that gets rid of a seeminly great player like Brees is a sure way to get BOTH guys fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't surpise me if both NO and Miami also wanted to take a look at the original MRI (in the case of a labrum its usually and MRI-arthogram) to evaluate the damage. I'm assuming San Diego let him go because they have Rivers; we all can't believe it because Rivers looked like complete crap in mop up duties last year. Bree's doctor even sent a letter to all NFL teams claiming the surgery was a complete success and he will be 100% by the start of training camp.
