No one can question Brees' toughness and no one would, he's played through so much. But if he was dealing with that much, then he probably wasn't the right person to go into the playoffs with.

Agreed. But, no one as competitive as Brees is going to take himself out of the game. If Payton new about all of this and still had him on the field, then that's on Payton.

Oh yeah 100%, I feel Payton was probably so caught up in the Farewell Tour stuff, that he couldn't see Brees holding the offense back.

The team had to know especially with Brees wearing KT tape on his shoulder all year. This tells me that the confidence isn't there yet with Hill or Winston. Hill needs to be more decisive with his throws and anticipate and trust that the receiver is going to be where he's supposed to be and let it rip. With Winston, who knows. He made a couple good throws against 49er's when he came in and he made a couple terrible throws. Winston has the arm talent, just needs the decision making process to improve. I can see Brees coming back to camp and they have a full QB competition providing a deal with Winston can be made. He might be a post June 1st retiree and save a little cap space, who knows.

Winston’s terrible throws were overthrows to avoid an int and sack

Actually no, the bulk of Winston's INT's were unforced, meaning he wasn't under duress when he chucked it to the other team. He also gave it up a lot with fumbles.
