Edit: But then again, there are some here that are convinced that Sean Payton is stupid. So there's that. |

Re: Brees coming back?
I was referencing lee's statement, "with Payton so vocal on Winston I don't see him (Brees) being back". The point is that if lee's argument was Payton honestly wanting Winston back based upon puffing him up, thus expecting Brees to be gone, is faulty, then Brees being gone isn't a given.

Re: Brees coming back?
I need him to go man. I feel like if he comes back I’d be wasting my time watching this upcoming season.

Re: Brees coming back?
Unfortunately, My heart and my eyes tell me he's done. He's past his prime and can't carry the team anymore. Nor can the team cover for Drew's deficiencies.
I hope he is really good at announcing. He's a very good communicator and sure knows football. I don't think that he'll ever coach in the pros. He's a family man that hasn't spent much time with his family. I don't see him spending the endless hours required to coach. Love ya' Drew. |

As for carrying the team, that's been the problem. He shouldn't have to carry the team. If he feels that shoulder is healthy enough then he is more than capable of being a significant part of a run to another Super Bowl. I still trust him more than either Winston or Hill in that regard. |

An announcer should have more time to devote to their family than a Pro player with additional requirements. I do realize that Drew goes out of his way to spend time with his family which means announcing games are a better fit than coaching.

I fully believe if Brees comes back next season, he will be better than Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer, Joe Flaco, Nick Foles or a handful of other QBs that have won the SB. Just my opinion. |
