Haz showing interest in Phillip Rivers?

From the Star-Telegram:

"I love Rivers," New Orleans Saints coach Jim Haslett said. "I think he's a winner. He's tough. The first time I really got a look at him was last year. I went down to spring practice. His throwing motion was really strange, but he made all the throws."

I seriously don't think we will go QB, but its an interesting angle.

and what was the highest level that you played QB? Because Chad Hess was my QB in flag football and he was our leader but our team sucked. He did develop as a decent center, but QB just wasnt in the cards for him.

And please tell me why the QB HAS to be the leader of a team? You cant tell me that Brad Johnson or Trent Dilfer were the leaders of their respective teams during their Super Bowl runs. I dont believe in the philosophy that the leader MUST be the QB. I didnt see Brooks smile once last year after a bad play...not that i have never seen it, but not at all last year.

I pretty much disagree with everything you just said.

I swear, if we take a QB in round 1 - I\'m finding someone else to root for because this team would officialy be clueless/hopeless.

How long have you been a Saints fan, rage?
After all that\'s happened with this team through the years this is the last straw? You\'re fine with the Ricky Williams draft but if the Saints draft a qb this year you\'re jumping bandwagons?

This almost certainly won\'t happen but if it does, be sure to let all of us know that you and your vast football intellect have foregone your loyalties to this organization.

I would be willing to bet the farm that it doesn;\'t happen, but... ya never know. It was interesting though.

ice-

Not to defend rAge, cause that will never happen, but what would your initial reaction be if this did pan out? I\'d be pretty P.O.\'d.

Smoke-screens, people... Besides Rivers will be way gone by the 18th pick.

I wouldn\'t call it a smoke screen. He probably does like Rivers, but he didn\'t say he was looking to draft him.

No ****?

Like 80% of everything else on this board right now, I was merely speculating. It\'s like you can\'t ask a hypothetical around here without getting hit with the \"He won\'t be there\" bat. Jesus.
