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...

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