Is Brees coming back? My heart and my head tell me no. He still played fairly well and didn't hurt his image by playing poorly the last few years. He wasn't great but he was injured and didn't tarnish his legacy. I love Drew but it's time to move to the announcers booth where we can still enjoy him!

It all comes down to whether the reason he couldn't push the ball down the field was because of his rotator cuff or if he's getting old. If it's the latter, then it's even for Drew. I was a baseball player, I know what rotator cuff injuries are like. That would explain him having a hard time getting it 10 yards. If he came back and won a Super Bowl, it'd be the greatest story in sports history.

That may have been the case but I don’t question his play as much as his durability. I just can’t see him being healthy for a full season.

As much I ridicule drew Brees for his drop off in play, I truly wouldn’t be upset if he comes back for his
swan song. But I would be concerned for his health. That 49er game is instilled in my mind. I thought that’s how it ended for him.

The thing is, the way Drew has been getting injured would have injured any QB. Frankly I think he's been unlucky. Now the rotator cuff is a different issue and could be due to wear and tear. When Drew's hand went off Donald's helmet.... that breaks anyways thumb. The way he got hit in the 49ers would most likely result in broken ribs unless you are incredibly lucky. These aren't what I call age injuries. What happened to Peyton Manning was an age related injury. They are wear n tear type injuries, and these are not what are happening to Brees. If he comes back I just hope it's with a healthy rotator cuff. Arm strength does decrease with age, but it doesn't go from throwing it 40 -50 yards down the field to not being able to hit the cut off man 10 yards away. There was obviously some issue there.

I honestly think drew comes back for one more year. SP better be in his knees rn praying. He gives us the best chance out of the three and he’s already counting against the cap.

Don’t favor him coming back but can’t disagree with you.
