We could debate what Brees has left in the tank, but I certainly don't see the NFL as being QB starved, not at all. I mean, we managed to sign Winston to be a backup for close to league minimum last offseason. The success of Burrow and Herbert has also bolstered a position that is pretty strong compared to usual league-wide.

I kinda have the same feelings as far as QBs. If you are a good organization with sound coaching and management, then (barring mass injuries) you can be competitive and in the playoff hunt with a variety of QB options out there. Saints did fine with fill ins when Brees was down. Although they had a down year, New England was competitive as hell last year and was in the playoff hunt until late in the season with Scam as the QB. Dallas was competitive as well when they were down to their 3rd QB.

A good offensive mind like Payton’s can hopefully figure out how to move on from here. The day they are in the bottom 10 for offense and scoring I’ll start to re-evaluate him.
