Xero Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Seriously? Wow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdue129 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 We were talking about this on the Purdue football board, but I don't think anyone thought it'd go through so quickly. I take it they didn't say who the Bears would be giving up? Unless the Bears gave up too much, I'm happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 That is some crazy s*** right there. Bad move if true, IMO. This is a building year...not a year you should try and go for it. Save all the draft picks you can for next year and go with Quinn and Hutchinson this year at QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted October 16, 2004 Author Share Posted October 16, 2004 I dont see the need to trade TOO much for Brees because Grossman will be back next year and then what happens to Brees? Who knows, maybe they are hoping hell do good so they can trade him in the offseason if his stock is high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdue129 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Who knows, maybe they are hoping hell do good so they can trade him in the offseason if his stock is high he's having his best year yet (which isn't saying a ton), so maybe that's the plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 It doesn't really make sense at all. By the time Brees learned the offense the season would be over. And then they'd have Grossman back next year. The Chargers are actually accomplishing things, they should just wait til the off-season. I don't buy it.

EvilJester99 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Seems kind of a waste but remember in most cases a torn ACL is a 2 year injury. It takes a 2nd year to heal mentally and have confidence in your knee being ok. Maybe the Bears are looking at it like that and want Drew for next season in case Rex isnt fully healed. Just my thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaSoxFan Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 It better not involve the first round pick in the 2005 draft or someone will pay!!! :fyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 I seriously doubt the Bears would have to give a 1st round pick for Drew Brees. I would think more like a 3rd if even that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdue129 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Brees is in the final year of his contract, so the idea that the Bears would trade him at the end of the season is out the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaSoxFan Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 We want Michael Turner too... but then again that would make us NIU fans happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, sorry to say this but... Remember the Ogunleye trade? We traded our 3rd round pick to the Dolphins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Whos better O Gun or Brees? Hence why the Bears won't give a 1st rounder for Brees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaSoxFan Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Whos better O Gun or Brees? Hence why the Bears won't give a 1st rounder for Brees. Yea, but... We traded Booker(OUR #1 WR) too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Whos better O Gun or Brees? Hence why the Bears won't give a 1st rounder for Brees. He was just saying the third round pick has been traded already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Yeah I forgot the 3rd pick went to Miami. Thanks for the reminder on that. Still the Bears won't give a 1st rounder for Brees....maybe give them Hutchinson lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssHatSoxFan Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 give a 1st rd pick for a guy who was drafted early 2nd and isnt even needed doesnt make sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaSoxFan Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Eh... I don't quite remember the draft, so I can't tell ya which round he went in. Couldn't we trade for Patrick Ramsey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brees was the first pick of the second round in 2001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
