neugey: I hope this never happens but they would need to pay the saints more than they have available to get him. If they did somehow convince the team to t6rade him the saints would be able to buy alot of players. Thers always Chase Daniel.

When I think of the 'ideal' Raider, I think of the Raiders of the '70s ... but those Raiders are long gone ... when I think of the current day Raiders, I think of Sebastian Jankowski (k) ... with QB options like Carson Palmer/Matt Leinart, of course a QB the caliber of Brees exemplifies what Oakland is looking for, but Drew can't be 'the ideal Raider' simply because he's a 'winner'.

Does anybody else here besides me read this article and feel kinda warm and fuzzy inside, to think that the Oakland Raiders are jealous of us? Doesn't anybody else see how kinda awesome that concept is? WE are the new Oakland Raiders now, folks! The attitude, the chip on the shoulder, skirting authority, the castoffs and rejects from other teams, lots of penalties, playing to the limits, us against the world, the genius X's and O's coach roaming the sidelines that the refs hate, the defense who's sorta suspiciously known for hurting people, "we think they cheated but we just can't prove it," the iconoclastic "I'm gonna do things my way," borderline crazy owner, who tangles with the NFL brass and gets in their craw...the Oakland Raiders want to BE us now.

I don't know about you people but reading this article made me STOKED. I am so pumped up, I can't wait for the season to start. Screw this "America's team" baloney, and the feel-good Katrina thing where the world pities us and feels sorry for us. Screw being nice. I am enjoying our new found role as total badasses, outcasts, the most hated team in all of football...if they want to make us into that then I am ready to embrace it...I cannot wait to take on the world.

... that's kinda' the way I see it, the Saints are the new 'Raiders' ... I've said it before, it worked for them, why not New Orleans? Now, if you guys could only get an eyepatch on that fluer-de-lys, .

definitely more pirates and raiders in NOLA history than Oakland... and since RG has made it clear that we are not saints...

Welcome to my world. I would miss his talent, but I would not miss the "pep rallies" among other things ...but, hey...that's just me.

Two first rounders. That is what we would get for a trade.(I think)
Could two players make an immediate impact? Maybe.....even probably. The question is can Drew Brees come in and make an immediate contribution? Hell yes!!! He has more value than any amount of draft picks.
We as a fan base are being let down by finding out our QB is mortal..........damn. The FO is doing everything possible to sign him and they will in due time. Then we will move on to double digit wins and a run deep in the play offs while we slap God-all in the face with our jocks. The sweet smell of victory!
Who Dat!!!
