Also interesting stuff on the 20 worst QB performances of the season. Anderson's on there 3 times and Brady's on their once....so, the Browns make up one fifth of the 20 worst QB performances of the season.....</p>

He was passed on for a highly touted rookie.  BUT, as the TIMES article states, he didn't have his "breakout" year until after the team drafted rivers.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/142461</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/142461</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[bkosar74]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 09 Dec 2009 20:14:32 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Brees was available to anyone - why didn't we get him? on Wed, 09 Dec 2009 17:56:21 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/choco" aria-label="Profile: choco">@<bdi>choco</bdi></a> <a href="/post/142404">said</a>:</p>and was passed on for a highly touted rookie.

<p>
I agree.  Actually hindsight in the Browns case is 10/10.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/142408</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/142408</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kosar_For_President]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 09 Dec 2009 17:56:21 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Brees was available to anyone - why didn't we get him? on Wed, 09 Dec 2009 17:52:01 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/kosar_for_president" aria-label="Profile: kosar_for_president">@<bdi>kosar_for_president</bdi></a> <a href="/post/142395">said</a>:</p>In all honestly Choco, he was pretty successful in Sand Diego.</blockquote>

I doubt Brees would have come here anyway, he had better offers/locations.</p>

<p>
What I couldn't understand at the time is why we didn't seem to have interest?  What did we have in 2005 for QB's, Anderson and Frye?</p>

We didn't pick up Brees because we already had Charlie Frye. Besides, Brees was advertised to have to sit out the season after shoulder surgery and we couldn't wait that long to make our Super Bowl run.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/142385</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/142385</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[ATENEARS]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:48:57 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Brees was available to anyone - why didn't we get him? on Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:47:32 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>I think we just started Projest Charlie Frye, is why we didn't go after him. or maybe it was the fact he is only 6 feet tall.</p>
