We have great receivers,always have just no one to get them the ball.Now we have that and people are complaining. We dont need a miracle worker just an above average qb that can make good decisions.obviously Brees can do that are else he wouldnt have made it to the probowl. People need to stop complaining about him because he is a hell of a lot better than Brooks is are ever will be.Get us a healthy o-line and a healthy Duece and watch his smoke.

Everyone beware, we have another AB fan on the wrong site. This Black and Gold, not Black and Silver. You were close though.

Hey....havin a group of players ranked in the 80's is not really that bad. As far as McKinnon...I'm not sure what he got but I'll say it again...the guys can hit as good as anybody and he's a very good run stopper. Although I understand the fact that we don't need the greatest O-Line on the planet....with Brees at the helm...it would really help to get some studs to protect Brees. I say this now without even seeing how Brees will perform once he returns. He may be psychologically shaken and he may not produce or he'll be as confident and as cocky as usual. But for the sake of his mental psyche....I think having a few studs on the o-line will simply make him feel....a bit more comfortable. 8)

I agree with you, take brick, and then mangold. That will give us the youngest and one of the top 5 offensive lines in the league. A good start on rebuilding a team with a brand new pro bowl QB.

If you were Madden, how high a grade would you give a qb who's undergone reconstructive shoulder surgery on his throwing arm who had only 1.5 decent years?

I'd still draft Lienart, Brees has a high probablility of being a bust and one so immediately.

i'd draft Leinart just to dangle him in front of other teams for trades. If we draft right, we will have a kick ass line to protect our new golden boy.

A bust? How so? Only way I can see it is if the shoulder gets hurt again, but apparently he's further than expected in his rehab. He's proven that he is a Pro Bowl caliber QB, even with a pathetic line. The guy can just flat out play. He's a smart, energetic QB who is going to be the leader and the heart and soul of this offense, something that we have lacked for a LONG LONG LONG time.

Deuce, I agree that Brees has had some game the last 1.5 years. It's all too likely that Brees won't be ready or that he won't pan out simply based on the type of injury. I watched Chad Pennington get injured the first time, then get reinjured worse the second time, and Brees was injured worse than Pennington. The Pennington camp said he was ahead of schedule, too, but he couldn't throw a sideline route or any pass over 20 yards with zip BEFORE his second injury. Maybe I'm a pessimist, but I'd rather have Lienart seeing a bit of history. Who's going to be the backup? AMac? I'm sitting on a turd that's got a better chance of winding up on a football field before AMac starts, he's not going to be ready for 2-3 years. Get Lienart and make them compete. At least there will be a fair chance a quality quarterback will take the field in 2006.

And you know this how?
