Saints QB

TallySaint · 11-11-2005, 02:31 PM

For a moment, let's assume we're gonna develop a new QB - be it A-Mac or a draft pick. Let's also assume we'd trade AB to get some dollar room to work and need to sign a veteran to be our starter and provide stability in the mean time.

Who would you go after?

Philip Rivers

Hands down it would be Matt Schaub

Billy Volek, Brees or Rivers, Atlanta would never trade Schaub to us.

i think rivers would be nice to get. who knows they would be looking for though

YA HAVE TO GO WITH Matt Schaub at this point I agree.

saintswhodi · 11-11-2005, 03:49 PM

So you think Atlanta would trade Schaub to a division rival? Okay.

I would absolutely love to acquire Volek or Schaub. But, I don't think either one will be available. Volek is going to take over that team when McNair retires which I think will be in the near future. As for Schaub, there's pretty much no way in hell Atlanta would let him go to us. He's their insurance policy in case Vick gets injured. He'll be there for years getting top backup quarterback money like Volek.

One guy I think would be available who I really like is David Garrard. He deserves an opportunity to start some where. He mobile, has a good arm and makes solid decisions with the football. We definately should give him a look.

We were saying that last year papz. About Garrard. Don't you wish we had gotten what we wanted then?

While Rivers isn't a rookie anymore, he isn't exactly a veteran either. I would like the Chargers to develop Rivers, and then we could trade for/sign Drew Brees instead. I don't see it happening, but it's wishful thinking, anyway.

That being said, I think they could Shaun King for next to nothing. He has very strong ties to New Orleans, and I don't believe he really ever had a fair enough shot to prove himself on a good team. When he did have a good team (Tampa), he took them within a game of the Super Bowl in his rookie year. He would be a steal and a great fit for a year or two.
