Brees coming back?

73Saint · 02-18-2021, 02:32 PM

Yeah I saw a wwl screen shot that said he was returning for another season but no direct links

Sorry, got this from a friend who is usually on top of this. LOL. From what 73Saint said apparently it was going around.

Nope. He has lost the eye of the tiger and he is truly well past his prime.

If he chose to come back he’d be a top 10 QB. We’d be a Wild Card team at minimum. The only question is would we have the health and team to go all the way.

Drew was dealing with a rotator cuff injury in his throwing shoulder. That didn't become known until after the season. I would not be surprised if he wanted to return to play another season with a healthy shoulder and real fans in the stands. If he had decided to retire already we would have known it by now.

What rotator cuff? He didn't have one when we signed him as a free agent back in '06...

He's got a re-visioned cuff that Doc Andrews made from tendons and striated muscle...

And it requires a tremendous effort of Brees and the physical therapy support staff to get it strong enough to compensate...

That is why his story is so amazing and why he deserved to be compensated accordingly...

Unfortunately this is correct...

I really hope he doesn't come back. He might have been injured, and he will be if he plays again. Drew will never be healthy for the last 10 games of the season. If I ranked QBs he'd be in the 15-20 range of current QBs.

Yes, Drew would start hot and look good, like he does most seasons. However, for the games that matter most he'll start falling apart. Can't throw the long ball, and towards the end of the season he couldn't throw accurately at all.

I hope I don't have to keep ragging on Drew, but it'll be another season to damage his legacy if he returns.

I am ready for Winston.... (Two years ago I would have thrown up at the thought)

Not necessarily - timing of the announcement may just be about Loomis' wiggling room with the cap as Feb 23rd is approaching and we'll see if Loomis designates anyone with the franchise tag...

Once we're into the new NFL calendar year, Mar 15 I believe, we'll probably have a more formal announcement with a post Jun 1 retirement designation...

Plus, I seriously doubt Drew would play for $1MIL/season - his current contractual number...

This is why I want him to come back. I know Im in the minority but I think he gives us the best chance.

	The Saints are 0-42 when running the ball less than 15 times in a game.
