As much as I love Drew and hope he plays forever, to deny that a physical decline is likely at his age and older is wishful thinking at best, and to imply that our HOF caliber QB is not a key cog in our run at another super bowl or that those type of players are dime-a-dozen and easily replaced is a bit delusional.

There is no implication that Drew is an easily replaceable commodity. Would you say Drew is an elite QB? Jimmy Graham is an elite TE? Having 2 elite players on the same side of the ball at the same time doesn't just happen to every team or many. It isn't luck, it's Sean Payton. Drew Brees wasn't elite at San Diego.

Sean Payton adjusts our game plan according to rising and falling players and there is no doomsday clock on his success. We won a SN without Graham and Drew retiring isn't going to make us an 8-8 team.
