If you don't mind me asking Iowanian, what is your take on Brees? What about Rivers? Your thoughts on what could happen with our QB spot? I'm very curious to see Rivers play. Everything i've read sounds positive. He is big, 6'5" 230 pounds, very accurate (beyond the 15 yard range) and quick release. He also sounds like a gamer. |

Anyway, we don't have a deep threat guy and even if we did, I seriously doubt it would help us. Not because Marty wouldnt use him, but because Brees doesn't throw the deep ball well. |

Rivers first. Like every first round QB taken in every draft, Phillip Rivers has the measurables. He's got the height, the frame, a strong arm. While suggest he has a quick release, I thought that was one of the knocks on him, that he had a odd delivery? He was a gamer in College for sure, and against an unmotivated KC defense, with a turd secondary, he was able to complete some passes....but Keep in Mind that Billy Volek and Drew Bennett looked like Marino to Duper vs the KC secondary...the worst in the league last year. For every Peyton Manning drafted high, there are 3 Akili Smith, Ryan Leaf, Cade McKnown's...........Until Rivers gets some significant playing time, there is no way of knowing if he's the next Dan Marino, Kyle Bowler or Todd Blackledge. I'm going to have to see it, to believe it. Brees. I said early in the offseason, that I wanted the Bolts to cut him. I couldn't imagine they could afford that much money to be tied up at 1 position on the team and remain competative. I think Brees has potential to be a successful QB in the West Coast offense, which relies more on timed swing passes, quick hitches, flares to backs, TE Seems and 10yd outs. With a good Offensive line and running game....he could be successful. That said, I don't agree with you on his accuracy being great and think he's got a weak arm by NFL standards. I think beyond a 15yd out, he's reaching. His deep ball is ugly. In the right offense for his talents, and a simple offense, he can be effective. I'd like to see him have a bad year, become a UFA, have KC sign him to an affordable contract to back up Green for a couple of years, and work under Terry Shea. It won't happen....... What I see happening, is a Bolt team, opening the season against a very stout Dallas Secondary, Going to Denver, a cakewalk vs the Giants at home, and AT New England prior to Pittsburg. Thats a schedule with some pretty tough Defenses in 4 of the first 5 weeks. thats a schedule that could easily have your team at 1-4 after week 5. Knowing fickle fans with high expectations....it'll start a QB controversy. Get out of that stretch at 4-1 or 3-2 and I'm a believer that the Eggos are a division contender this year. Then the Bolts go to Oakland and Philly. It could be a rude awakening if the Bolts aren't ready to go. FWIW...the Chiefs don't start that much better. |

-Dallas, after they draft they had, their defense is going to be extremely tough. Their secondary is very good. I expect their defense to be top 10. -Denver, while I don't want to overlook them, we never beat them in their house. They have our number there. -Giants, I hope we win. -Pitt, will be very tough game indeed. #1 D last year and #1 against the run, our bread and butter. Doesn't get much easier when we go to Philly, NE, Washington, NYJ and Indy. Lets not forget the 2 games against KC, and I think we will split. Quote:

He fits into what SD is doing on offense, but he wouldn't fit into KCs offense. Our passing game is designed to stretch the field, passes that Brees doesn't have the arm strength to deliver. Green's arm strength isn't great, but is much better than Brees. I'd rather persue a Joey Harrington, Patrick Ramsey, if either, or both are released after next season. I think their ability to get the ball down the field fits much better.

Their playcalling is a direct reflection of Marty's play not to lose philosophy. I'm betting it wasn't Cam Cameron's decision to protect the ball and set Kaeding up for that game losing 45 yd FG attempt. That's all on Marty. That's the Martyocre way.

It's fun to discuss these things but we all know it's way too early to take an educated guess as to what will happen. A few teams will suprise and come out of nowhere and a few favorites will nosedive. We'll see how tough the respective schedules are come the start of the season. As for Brees, I don't he has great accuracy in either the short or the long game; he's terribly inconsistent. There are times where he makes some amazing throws but there are times where he throws behind his receiver on a 5 yard pass. However, he is one of the most determined players that has come to the team in a while. He plays his heart out and has the will and the confidence to lead a team to a championship in my opinion. if you don't play with your heart, you won't stand a chance. |
