Texas Tech QB Patrick Mahomes meets with Saints; would love to learn from Drew Brees

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Seth Russell has looked good. Trubisky throws a really pretty ball. He is on the money every throw. Peterman also looked good. I don't want Webb or the guy from central Michigan. Both looked like they had no control over ...

Seth Russell has looked good. Trubisky throws a really pretty ball. He is on the money every throw. Peterman also looked good. I don't want Webb or the guy from central Michigan. Both looked like they had no control over the deep ball. Central Michigan guy could hardly throw a deep ball.

He will finish his career in New Orleans otherwise he's not as smart as I thought and we were the only team to take a chance on him, period!
I do belive, according to readings at the time of the signing, that the purpose of the short contract structure was to give both sides flexibility in terms of Brees retiring. The terms keeps a ton of dead money off the table when Brees decides to retire.

This isn't unusual towards the end of a career. From what I remember Peyton Manning's final set of contracts with Denver were essentially year to year.

Brees has already made the committment. If he really wanted to leave, then all he needed to do was let his previous contract run out. He would be a free agent next week because the Saints cannot afford a $30 million+ franchise tag any more than anyone else.

I want him to end his career here without a doubt. I think he easily has 4 to 5 years left but Im just saying if the team doesn't know 100 percent and we ignore the QB position then it could be back to the real dark days where 7-9 is a great season. I remember those days and I don't want that again.

As most have pointed out on here, when Brees goes, the next QB won't be near as good or really close to it. What's the point of grooming when Payton won't be here after Brees is done and he'll have to learn a whole new playbook?

The only reason to get a new QB this year is if Brees will only sign 1 year deals. The team cannot be held to ransom with a player like that.

Every year as the QB price increases he will want a rise(he has shown he wont play for a discount). The team has no leeway in cap savings,will always be paying the top rate for him,no signing him for 22ml a year early and watching others having to pay more. If he is unhappy or the team has a bad year he can just walk. Thats not a position to build a team on. If he wont sign a multi year deal i think you have to start looking elsewhere for stability.

I dont want him gone by the way

"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!
