Great point Papz! Can you imagine if Drew went down with injury?

No rookie nor veteran backup could do anything about that. We'd instantly be the Carolina Panthers from last year.

Anyone QB who has anything close to Brees' talent and leadership is a starting QB in this league. The days of Montana starting with Young as his backup are over. Both examples of this last year (Carr in Carolina, Harrington in Atlanta) were terrible failures.

Anyway even if that were the case, no rookie could come in and do better than the two backup QBs we already have on staff.

With the exception of Brady, all current successful QBs in the league are top draft picks.

This year isn't the year to try to figure out who Brees replacement is going to be. Do that next year.

When is Booty projected to be picked?

papz · 01-26-2008, 01:31 PM

As of right now I think he's projected to go in the third... I wouldn't pick him up though. I think he's a career backup with limited upside.

Delaware quarterback Joe Flacco has been looking good.

SapperSaint · 01-26-2008, 02:36 PM

Flacco, reminds me of the "Replacements" movie. Shane Falco.

But seriously, I too have heard some good talk about Flacco.

SapperSaint · 01-26-2008, 03:30 PM

Going with all 7 defensive picks would be a moronic mistake. Offensive guys will be picked up at least by the 3rd. We will pick up a WR/RB, you can bank on that. there are too many good "O" guys out there to just pass up on.

I do hope they make the first two guys "D" players.

As I would also. I'm watching the Senior Bowl and Keith Rivers looks very very good. Also that Cromartie kid some were talking about has outstanding recovery speed.

I've talked up Cromartie coming into the Senior Bowl. Like his athleticism and skills.

I'm with you 100 % on those two. Would be a big help.

	Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
