B.Cooks Questioned Drew's Arm Strength 4 Years Ago

Indeed. The OLine talent has been Deep. D-line as well for the most part. Both sides of the line have been high priority draft picks for the most part under Payton. D backfield as well.

Linebackers and WRs have been under repped by him conversely. I know there have been a handful here and there, but Inwould have liked to see these positions better regarded IMO.

One more thing about Brees arm strength vs “Receiver” quality I’ll say this. You replace Cook with Travis Kelce, Saints win that game against Tampa. I can’t say the same if you replace Brees with Rodgers.

You don’t see a difference there?

Tampa did not make it to the Superbowl just because Brady can throw the ball further than Brees. They made it because of their defense and scoring 41 points off of 7 turnovers in 3 playoff games.

Brees gave them almost half of those turnovers. Lol.

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

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?

Cook was responsible for at least 1.5 of those himself
