Anderson as Brees backup?

Yes we eventually need another backup but keep in mind that the game Brunell played in against Carolina it was below freezing with a wind chill of 23*. Even Drew has struggled in those conditions with all the starters much less backups so let's not throw Brunell under the bus just yet. Let's see what he does in camp and preseason.

I'm with you, Budsdrinker. Brunell is not a starting NFL QB or even a great backup. But he will have to do until we can find someone better. Meanwhile, we have other needs -- LB to replace Fujita, DE to replace Grant. DT to shore up the middle run. We also need a backup center, backup CB.
