quote:
Didn't we lose an all pro Guard because Drew said it wasn't about the money when he turned down 19 mil for 20? And we lost the bid on the Guard who went to Tampa.
So hey Drew, get your 100 million dollar arse up and play. Sorry but I don't think any player is worth 100 mil, name ONE QB who has won the SB after they broke the 100 million dollar bank.

Carl Nicks reported he didn't even get an offer or the Saints FO work with him in the offseason for a contract until that morning of free agency. By that time, it was a clear message to him, so he went with the higher paying contract from TB. Followed up with a solid season and MRSA. Now he's out of the league.

We didn't lose on the bid, we went with the cheaper option from a guard with a strong run blocking record. Running behind him, Baltimore averaged 4.76ypc. Running behind Nicks, we averaged 4.45. Still good for 9th best in the league, but it wasn't like it was some vast "downgrade". We saved money:
Carl Nicks: 5yr/47.5mil
Ben Grubbs: 5yr/36.0mil

But yes, no QB that is 100mil has won, blah blah blah. Since 2009:

2009: New Orleans Saints (Elite QB getting paid 10mil/yr)
2010: Green Bay Packers (Elite QB getting paid 6.5mil/yr)
2011: New York Giants (Above average QB getting paid 16.25mil/yr) - the opponent? NE Patriots (Elite QB getting paid 18.0mil/yr)
2012: Baltimore Ravens (Above average QB getting paid 6.76mil - final year of his rookie contract)
2013: Seattle Seahawks (rookie contract)

yeah, so what you're saying is should have kicked Brees to the curb, built a defense and just rode the defense.

Not blame the highest paid interior line in the league that ranks dead last in pass protection.

Yup. He's an arse alright

Not 20 mil a yr, so thanks for backing me up. And read what I wrote, I didn't say he was an arse, I said he needs to get off his arse because his greed and BSing everyone saying its not about the money when it clearly was is the reason we are in the hell we are in right now.
Ppl in LA act like we owe Drew the friggan world, last I checked teams weren't beating his door down when he left SD, we took a chance on him when ppl doubted he could play and it worked out for both parties, while he made 60 mil in the process.
