I have nothing but respect for you Rez but the way that you talk about Drew feels disrespectful. He has been too good to us to talk about him like that. I respect what he's done for us and it's probably time to ride off into the sunset. Would you call him noodle arm to his face? No. I believe that you're better than that. We've been on the board together for years and I feel like I know you fairly well. All I'm saying is maybe you could just say that he has a very weak arm instead of the disrespectful tone of noodle arm. I agree it's time to move on though. :peace:

He can definitely go deep and make the contested catch. The kid ran 4.43 at his pro day. Brees just doesn’t throw him one on one go routes. He barely throws anybody one on one go routes.

It probably is a little disrespectful. I’ll give you that.

When he was struggling here in NE last season everyone said his arm was shot too. Look what having a good WR cops can do. Brees had a Broken Thomas, a past his prime Sanders and a bum in Cook. You don’t see a difference there?

That still means as a team they are paying out $31ml for 2 QBs under contract. Not really feasible under the cap with so many other high earners

Not that I want this, but can Winston be tenderer for a first round pick like Hill was last off season?

So the only option is Taysom or a rookie?

Yikes

They could find a way to pay him but the big question is "Is it in the long term interest to add void years and pay that money over a number of years". This year has really proven that pushing money into the future expecting the cap to jump on new deals comes with massive risks if it doesn't.

Look into Cooks numbers:
3 years with Drew Brees 20 TD longest in NO 50, 71, 98 Declining arm
1 year with Brady 7 TD longest in NE 64 good arm
2 years with Goff 7 TD longest in LA 57 strong arm
1 year with Watson 6 TD longest in HO 57 cannon arm
4 year TD total: 20 TD

He's done no better with non declining arms. In fact took him one more year to equal his stay in NO.
