They got a good one but not THAT good. :eek:

IIRC, that's roughly the same as NO gave Brees a few years back.

[Darth Hater]

Too much for a one year wonder IMO.

Yep. I would have made him play out this season before that type of investment.

Remember...it was the Patroits offense and defense that was surrounding him.

One year wonder....remember Derek Anderson?

Enlighten me. What exactly does IIRC stand for?

IIRC=If I recall correctly (and Bolter almost always does...he's right)

Brees was coming off major surgery too. He was coming off two pretty good years (04 was great), albeit a little bit of a decline in 2005.

Is Cassel proven yet? No way. Do I think he got this contract based solely on his statistical achievements in 2007? Also, no way.

Whoa, what a joke. The Chiefs better pray to whatever that this works out for them, otherwise they're screwed for 5 years or longer.
