deep2evans Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 The guy is right up there with Manning and Brady regarding his command of the offense. Lee Evans' numbers would be off the charts with that guy.
Max997 Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 it doesnt hurt that he has played under good offensive co-ordinators...would he have done the same with Fairchild and Turk? who knows but I agree he is money
bizell Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 drew brees... another guy on my list of 'people who i was wrong about'. yeah, he's been absolutely money since his last year in SD.
VOR Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 The Bills weren't going to go after him, period. Luckily the Dols made the mistake of taking Culpepper over him, and also giving-up a 2nd round pick for him.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 I'm an avid fan of Big Ten football and he was one of my favorite guys, coming out of Purdue and all. I knew he was a solid QB but all the "experts" could talk about was how he's 5' 11". Just goes to show that height doesn't actually mean all that much for a QB.

It's funny, I thought he was going to be phenomenal in the NFL, and I thought Orton for the Bears would be solid but not great.
DFITZ1 Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 The guy is right up there with Manning and Brady regarding his command of the offense. Lee Evans' numbers would be off the charts with that guy. With our O-line two years ago he would have been sacked a lot and had no running game. We'd still be trying to rebuild other areas. Give Trent a chance. He's doing all right. Peyton Manning wasn't made in a year either.

Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Not to take anything away from him (he's been a stud, no doubt), but he seems to fit into the dome atmosphere pretty good. I'm not sure he would have had the same impact playing in Buffalo.
jarthur31 Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 The guy is right up there with Manning and Brady regarding his command of the offense. Lee Evans' numbers would be off the charts with that guy. At the time, I wouldn't have supported a decision to sign him. It looked his pro career was over. Well, he proved everybody wrong.
Tom Jackson Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Mmm hmm, mmm hmm............. The guy is right up there with Manning and Brady regarding his command of the offense. Lee Evans' numbers would be off the charts with that guy.
apulshunny Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Brees is a great front runner. He definitely distributes well, but he has not shown an ability to come from behind to win especially in the forth quarter. My awareness of this was heightened by a radio yahoo here in San Diego during the Brees v Rivers debate. For the remainder of that season he had multiple opportunities to come back late and failed every time. Not often, but every time. I don't watch as many of his games now, but the ones I do see are no different. Earlier this year I heard a commentator say that Brees was just the kind of guy you want for a late comeback and I laughed out loud just before Brees was picked off ending the opportunity and losing the game. Same ol' Brees. With the protection he'd get here, I have to seriously doubt he'd be playing now anyway.
VJ91 Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 The guy is right up there with Manning and Brady regarding his command of the offense. Lee Evans' numbers would be off the charts with that guy. I agree. Bad weather, lousy OL not withstanding, having Brees in his third year in Buffalo would be a hell of alot better then Edwards in his second right about now.
LabattBlue Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 At the time, I wouldn't have supported a decision to sign him. It looked his pro career was over. Well, he proved everybody wrong. His last two years in SD(2004 & 2005), his numbers were pretty damn good. When exactly was his pro career over? http://www.nfl.com/players/drewbrees/caree...ts?id=BRE229498
Arkady Renko Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 His last two years in SD(2004 & 2005), his numbers were pretty damn good. When exactly was his pro career over? http://www.nfl.com/players/drewbrees/caree...ts?id=BRE229498 I think the concern was his shoulder injury. I know the Dolphins passed on him and instead signed Culpepper much to the Bills benefit.

When exactly was his pro career over? http://www.nfl.com/players/drewbrees/caree...ts?id=BRE229498 Because of his INJURY!!! Nobody but the Saints wanted to take a chance! Where were you when that happened?
StupidNation Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Because of his INJURY!!! Nobody but the Saints wanted to take a chance! Where were you when that happened? That's not true either. Several teams wanted him and the Saints were the only team to offer him a fat contract. I was on record for wanting Warner after the Rams on another message board. Oh well...
cale Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 The guy is right up there with Manning and Brady regarding his command of the offense. Lee Evans' numbers would be off the charts with that guy. Don't forget who drafted him. AJ. Think Mr. Smith would have drafted JP? C
