If he does decide to return it will be because he knows he can perform at a high level and that shoulder injury is behind him.

I think that regardless of how you personally feel about Drew, it was probably a blessing for him that there were not fans in the stadium this year. A lot of people would have let him know that they were disappointed in his bending of the knee.

I'm sure he cares. Amazing people are butthurt over this. Just show people still turn a blind eye to our country's dark and shaded past.

Not sure why you reference Tom Brady, as much as I hate to say this, a 2020 Brady to Brees comparison is apples to oranges.

- Brady just threw for 289.6 YPG which is the most he has thrown for since 2016, Drew's 245 YPG is the lowest he has thrown since he was a Charger. This year Brady was at a new team, new players, new coach... Drew was in very familiar setting.

- Tom Said he wanted to play until he was 45 in Aug of 2019, then 46 or 47 in Nov 2019 where also stated he set the 45 a long time ago. Now he is back to 45? It is all moot because Drew isn't going to catch Tom statistically Tom is 10 TDs ahead and only 1100 yards passing behind...

Drew isn't thinking about Tom Brady right now other than "I wish I were him playing in the SB".

Drew's Wife
Her stating that he played injured has no significant bearing on him returning to the Saints. You want all of this to be meaningful but it just isn't.

Before anyone dismisses anything that I am saying as dislike for Drew, his name is the only name that I have ever had on the back of a jersey that I have owned (other than my own). Mostly because, well wearing something with another mans name on it is not something I generally do.

Maybe if Drew Brees has to watch a Saints season from the couch then participate in the painfully abbreviated post season, he will grab Sean Payton's ear and whisper 'dafuq you doin?'.

I referenced Brady because he played without the shoulder injury that hampered Brees most the season and without the facia injury, as well. If Brees feels like he can fully recover this offseason I can see him wanting to continue playing for the same reason as Brady ... the love of the game.

As for Brittney's statements, I believe it shows her active support. That is critical in any decision to continue or quit. He has said the decision to return was made by them both over the past few years.

I would love to see him play again. He should if he can and wants too.

It may have seemed heartbreaking for Drew to have the last game go the way it did with the bad game and the interceptions and no dome crowd. But, bigger picture, the Saints were 12-4 and made it to the second round of the playoffs. It's not like Drew spent his final year anonymously throwing passes on a 5-11 team. That would have been the sadder fate.

Good interview with Sean P/Kay Adams this morning on GMFootball ...

Sean says a lot however I get the impression we are moving on with Jameis Winston in 2021. If coach believes he's the guy, he's the guy.

He's already been the six million dollar man. Now if we could just give him bionics too we'd be living large!
