How would’ve Brees been assessed on this board prior to 2006??

Not saying Carr is Brees by no means. Just curious how much hate would’ve been on here? Plenty if I had to guess.

We weren't spoiled by Brees then.

“Used goods” or “washed up”

When he signed here, his resume was already greater than any QB that had ever played for us - including Archie.
Which means 75% of this board would have shite on it because we signed a bum coming off of major shoulder surgery.

That was my concern since he was coming off of major shoulder surgery and was not a guarantee by any stretch.
Never been so happy to be so wrong

I remember being somewhat disappointed that we signed a game manager when there were going to be two guys at number 2 that looked like future stars(Leinart/Young).

I was kind of washed out on the Saints for that offseason with Katrina year and my perception that Benson acted like a bitch through it. That is to say I was too depressed about the Saints to dare to hope or have an opinion. Of course I was back in the dome for the opener.
But yeah, I think the person saying that we weren't spoiled by Brees is pretty spot on.

Saints fans hate everyone and everything until it wins.

For the most part I was looking forward to seeing how much better he could be once he recovered from the shoulder injury.
I knew it was a severe injury, so I guess that is the only reason i was nervous about it.
fwiw, I don't hate Carr.
I'm just not feeling good in general about the Saints right now. I sure hope they prove me wrong but just not optimistic at this point with whatever plan they have. Still too early to tell what that is to be fair.

I remember this board and Brees was an injured Trent Dilfer and we were passing on Pat Mahomes and Lamar Jackson

It’s a good comparison. I always kind of looked at carr as a guy who could make a huge leap leaving the raiders and getting into a Payton/Saints system.
Well payton is gone and carr is now in his 30s.
But screw or we’re going nowhere with Dalton so I say roll the dice.

Brees had just led the Chargers to a 14-2 record in ‘04 and had a good year in ‘05. He was a game manager in his first five years because Marty Schottenheimer was his coach. But you could see he was becoming a very good QB. We were all stunned they signed him and beat out Miami for him but worried about the rest of the roster.
Derek Carr has a much larger sample size and, much like Archie, you can’t just blame all of the team’s struggles in a 9-year career on everyone else but him.

Completely and sadly honest to admit, before we signed him I was hoping they would draft lienart. Didn't really keep up much with college football outside of LSU just USC were always on the highlights.
I was wrong on many levels lmao

I remember one idiot poster kept calling Brees Hot Garbage. Who was that??
Posted on 2/10/23 at 8:05 pm to GeauxTigers58
I was excited we got a QB... but we had Aaron brooks the previous half of a decade.
Posted on 2/10/23 at 8:12 pm to GeauxTigers58
3 win team with a new coach and QB, we would have been very excited here.

As someone who remembers the forums from those days, the opinions were mixed between those who felt like we paid top dollar for a guy with a shredded throwing shoulder and those who were astounded a Pro Bowl QB was to be had in free agency.
But I'd say it was more excitement than not
