No Way, you dont take a Qb in first rd to be a backup for at least another 4 or 5 years.

actually brees only has 3 years left on his deal and by then he will be 32.. not sayin he will drop off but we are going to have to start looking for a replacement before then

not really...we're going to extend his contract by then. he'll be with us as long as he wants, trust me.

Personally, I think Joey Harrington would be a better backup than either Martin or Trent Green. Mickey...get on the phone and make an inquiry!

Green is 37 with 14 seasons in the NFL and Harrington is 29 with 6 seasons in the NFL.

Green 6'3 at 217, career; 2228 completions, 3668 attemps, 60.7%, 27,950 yds.

Harrington is 6'4 at 222, career; 1424 completions, 2538 attempts, 56.1%, 14,693 yds.

True, but I am not looking at 2 or 3 years from now. I'm looking to win a Superbowl NOW, while Brees is still with us. I think he's our best chance - the best chance we've ever had, and likely to be the best chance we WILL have in the next decade or so.

Fix the D now, don't worry too much about 4 years from now, because our window won't last.

see thats where i disagree, we have a real young team, most of our star players are young and are still learning the game.. our oline is pretty young except for a few guys and all of our WRs n RBs are young except for patton n deuce n stecker

we could be really good for 6-7 straight years

But that doesn't count the most important guy on the entire team - Brees. 6 or 7 years? Brees is either going to get hurt, or he's going to slow down well before 7 years come around. And though I don't know who his replacement will be, I'll bet you 100 to 1 whoever it is will not be in the same ballpark as Brees.

I really think - when Brees goes under, our window of opportunity goes with him. So make it count. NOW.
