You just love to hate on Brees! So tell me, since you know more than coach Payton, who is your next Saints QB?

Cook was responsible for at least 1.5 of those himself

Based on our cap, draft position, and current roster I’d probably say Jameis Winston is the best option moving forward. I like Trey Lance a lot though. I wish he was realistic.

Winston isn't under contract. What kind of deal would you offer him or better yet, what kind of deal do you think he will want?

Thomas can't go deep anyway so pot and kettle right there. He's a possession receiver and Drew is super accurate ala the most catches in a season?

Exactly. Fact is they haven’t had the receiving/TE group to push the ball downfield since Graham left. It’s been a mix of washed up guys like Gin, Sanders, Montgomery, that can’t get the job done.

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.

I don't necessarily believe that, Thomas can't help it when Payton changes the offense to aid Drews failing arm.

Coincidence that Thomas caught 150 passes, the year it was noticeable that Brees would not throw deep? I think not. Payton saw the decline and changed the offense to try and help.

Thomas rookie year he ran plenty of deep routes and had some nice catches from them.

Having all of that talent wouldn't matter if the QB can't get the ball there.

Have you been around long enough to remember the "caliber" of WR/TE Brees used to have when throwing for 5000+ yds? The story used to be Brees could make anyone look good at WR, now apparently he needs all-stars around him.

All those "busted up" players you mentioned had no issues catching balls from other QBs over the last 2 years and winning games. They all have recently been pro-bowl players.

Last point here... Do you believe that if Drew Brees went to the Bucs instead of Brady, they would be in the Superbowl right now?
