"Drew was a huge factor in my decision," Shanle said Saturday. "I see us winning more championships here."

Running back Darren Sproles said Monday that Brees was a major factor in his decision to sign with the Saints over several other suitors. At this stage of his career, Sproles said he wanted to play for a championship team, and he knew the Saints would be one as long as Brees is here.

"Drew is a franchise quarterback," Sproles said. "If you've got a good quarterback in this league, you have a chance."

One thing we've learned over the years is that what Brees wants for the Saints, he usually gets. If he expects something to happen, then it almost certainly will come to fruition.

To win big in the NFL these days, you need a star under center. And the Saints have one of the biggest and brightest in Brees.

I just hate the fact he doesnt get the credit he deserves, it always Manning and Brady? Dont get me wrong, they are two great QB's, but Drew should ALWAYS be mentioned with either of them.

Drew is Who dat nation.

That's beautiful stuff. I can't help but to think that even with all of that stroke, he still has knees, hips, tibias, ankles and a host of other things a few people would like to break. We've been pretty lucky til now. We have got to be ready if something happens. Its our own fault if we're not.
