Of the four qbs which one would you like to see under center for the saints...Brees, Brooks, Bouman, or A Mac?

The paper is just rooting for the home team. Personally I'm getting a little feed up with Brees. Even if he picks us, I won't feel the same about him. He has every right to do what is best for himself and his family but I feel betrayed because we were the first to call.

First to call? It's not the prom... it's the NFL. He's got to do whats best for him. Brees is coming from a team with a good OL and he still go injured. Don't you think his Agent is telling him what we all know? The Saints have a bad OL and it's even worse now that Bentley is gone, and a RB that's coming off an injury. Miami has a solid RB in Brown (bye bye Williams) and a good OL. Where would you want to go? My pick would be the team least likely to get me injured... i.e. Miami.

I understand all of the above as I said, but it's not going to change my pissoff. I would want to go where I would do the most good. If that's not NO, I don't know what is. Then he said "he liked challenges." The challenge could be no tougher here and if successful, he walks on water.

..hey,what can I say.. it's a gift

... it does seem clear now that Brees wants to go to the Dolphins, and he and his agent are going to try squeezing as much money as possible out of the Dolphins, rather than take the better deal - as far as guaranteed money - that the Saints have offered.

..I mean, if they were asking for more, ok, I say Brees is open on where he wants to play, but they are only asking the Dolphins not even to match but to merely get close to what the Saints are offering...

Honestly guys, no one in their right mind would want to come QB for the Saints if they thought they could get a legitimate shot at the playoffs/Super Bowl somewhere else.

The New Orleans Saints? Guys, I bleed black and gold, but who are we kidding? The only people who desire to play for the Saints are people who grew up in Louisiana or atleast in the Gulf Coast region.

Who wants to marry an ugly woman when you can have a pretty one?

i'm willing to cut someone a day or two of slack to make a decision over several million dollars of difference no matter what two franchises or cities you are talking about. i don't have any beef if the only reason a player comes here is cuz we offered more moolah than anyonr else. again, i don't think the cards fans have any illusion about why edge james is going there. it's just about winning, winning business decisions.

PS- anyone notice it ended up sounding a whole lot more the dolphins deciding than brees with the culpepper trade?
