SkinsHokieFan Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 6 TDs! 400 plus yards passing. Making Jeremy Shockey relevant again :hysterical: This is a mistake of management not getting this guy to DC Why? Well, a good front office staff would have seen what we had in the QB situation in 2004-2005, and paid attention to the pipeline. Brees, in a Coryell like offense in 2004 had a breakout season for the Chargers. Gibbs clearly had no faith in Ramsey by the end of the 2004 season. The FO, as opposed to looking down the pipeline and clearly deducing that a team that picked a QB 4th overall would not be able to keep Brees, would have set things up to acquire Brees once he hit the FA market. The good young QB we were looking for, with the big arm to throw downfield (and apparently now eat pancakes off other teams defenses) Instead, 3 picks blown on Jason Campbell Is it hindsight 20/20 here? Yea it is. But thinking back now, this looks like a no-brainer, and something a good GM would have thought about (or made a move for after the 2005 season, with probably fewer picks needed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zCommander Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I think we should be worrying about what we have in hand and not about what was in the bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shilsu Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Just curious if anyone knows what the Chargers were looking for Brees when they franchised him? Anyway, at least we weren't the Dolphins in 2006... Choice between Culpepper and Brees, hmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choice between Culpepper and Brees, hmmmm. Probably 2 picks fewer then what it took to get JC :hysterical: I think a first gets Brees back in 2005, considering they had no leverage with Rivers sitting back there as well Sigh, I drive myself nuts thinking back the "what if" moves the Redskins should have made.

Spear Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 When Brees was available in 2006, he was fresh off a shoulder injury in the pro bowl and the Redskins, coming off a playoff run, thought Mark Brunell could get them to the Super Bowl. The QB of the future was already anointed in Jason Campbell the year prior. I don't really recall much noise on the board about acquiring Brees back then, though there was some. But that happens with every free agent that's been to the Pro Bowl. But, yeah, if only. There are probably a dozen teams kicking themselves. A QB like that doesn't usually hit free agency. If he had caught on sooner, the Chargers wouldn't have felt the need to draft a replacement and he'd still be in San Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2cents Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 No what we should have done was DRAFT him in 2001 like we could have, like I was hoping we would. But Marty drafted Rod Gardner and said we could win with Jeff George at QB. Think on that one, all of you who wish Marty was still here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I_Bleed_B&G Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 You know whats makes this even worse. Drew Brees threw 6 TD's in 1 game and JC through 13 TD's in all of last season. I think I might go cry now. This franchise is a joke. Big names with no results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USS Redskins Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I hate to say it but I have been crying about this for 3 years now. The guy was out there, a free agent, and they didnt do a damn thing about it. Ugh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcjbigblue Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Drew Brees probably wouldn't have performed for you guys anyway. The OC would have held him back or something. Your team picks up all these big names and does nothing with them....Drew Brees would have been no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The QB of the future was already anointed in Jason Campbell the year prior. Did anybody believe Brunell in 06? For real? I knew we were doomed in the playoffs in 05 when they decided to play Brunell hurt, a repeat of 2004 regular season with Ramsey on the bench. What a joke. FYI, Brees could have been had in 04 after the draft. The Chargers wanted to start Rivers, but with Brees on the roster and no takers they stuck with the proven QB for 2 years.

TheMarionBarberHitman Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Brees only had 350 yards not 400 But those 6tds had to look bad for whoever i was playing in fantasy this week.

Stadium-Armory Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 No, he's too short. We need a tall, prototypical quarterback. I don't care about the results, I care more about how he looks in uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
