New Orleans Saints: Drew Brees Is Battling Father Time

WhoDat!656 · 07-18-2012, 07:32 PM

However, is Drew Brees still a championship winning quarterback? Mr. Brees is 33. He will be 34 in January. Forget how Drew Brees played this last season. At his age, Brees is now battling against Father Time.

And Father Time is unbeaten.

None of the guys mentioned in this article trained like Brees does, both on and off the field. The way he takes care of himself, and prepares to work, I can see him competing for championships for another 6 to 7 years, easily.

Geez, he probably has 5 to 8 years left before his body betrays him.

Look, this article would be topic of conversation if Drew were 37. He's 33.

They need to put this one in the deep freeze for 4 more years.

So only 8 QBs 34-and-over started a SuperBowl and won it? ... Bart Starr, Brad Johnson, Len Dawson, Roger Staubach, Jim Plunkett, Johnny Unitas, John Elway (2x) ... I think Drew compares favorably to any of them ... he'll be alright, if NO can get him to the show, he'll win it,

None have had a throwing arm rebuilt as Drew has. I'll take Dr Andrews & spot you father time any day.
