Drew won't go anywhere. Not for at least three to four years. I'm not worried about that. I am a little worried that Drew isn't as team oriented as I hoped and money will be too tight to win a Super bowl while he is under contract.

This wasn't me saying this. I was providing a link where I got from SR.

How can you compare Archie/Drew? Different football, different teams; and until someone finds a time machine arguing about it is pointless...

I'd love to hear some of you older guys like me compare him to a current player. |

Drew doesn't come close to threading needles; Coach Payton has a brilliant system of timing, whereby Drew throws into buckets on pre-snap reads... In fact, though he was cut that season, Brees participated in an ill-advised training camp passing competition which Ryan Griffin smoked him... Brees' strength is in no way his arm, and to suggest is laughable; what he has is a near-perfect grasp of what Coach Payton has installed - that's the strength... If Archie had been able to develop with Coach Payton, Peyton and Eli would have been chasing Dad's shadow their whole careers... Archie never had a line, and what receivers or backs he had were sky-high, drunk on game day... |

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Unfortunately he only had 1 or 2 years w a decent team around him. But he was the most accurate qb ever at throwing while running towards his left.

Just imagine the Spagnuola season, but on both sides of the ball. I mean how in the **** do you win an NFL Most Valuable Player on an 8-8 team? Or be voted all pro on a 7-9 team? I'm not gonna say Arch would be better than Brees, but I damn sure know it would be a virtual tie at worst. Another thing... I wonder how many current QB's would still be playing today if they took the weekly pummeling that Archie did. Dude got hit 10 times more than David Carr ever did, and he kept on swinging. Remember the hit Brees took from Ahmad Brooks? It seemed like Archie took one of those every game year after year after year. |
