Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Drew Brees Hater. I'm only suggesting that given how lousy the qb position has been the last several years, putting all eggs in the Brees basket is not a good idea. I'm perfectly willing to rally around him, but I'm not convinced that banking on his recovery is worth giving up drafting one of the best quarterbacks the college game has seen in the last decade, all due respects to the Mannings. We'll still get quality draft picks in the next rounds and there's a lot that will happen between now and camp relative to FA linemen.

All the good quality backups are taken. Don't make me rally around Bouman or Tommy Maddox or Jay Fiedler or Seneca Wallace because you can't conceive of a future where Brees won't pan out.
