Re: Drew Brees Officially Announces Retirement
 

I don't get the doom and gloom in here. The roster still has a ton of talent and we have Payton. Look at the games we won when Drew was hurt. I hate to see him retire, but we weren't going any further in the postseason with him, and he was bound to get hurt again. It was one helluva run, but it was over already. We are probably still the cream of the NFC south.

Nothing but respect for the man. Pretty much an iron man for the Saints.

Re: Drew Brees Officially Announces Retirement
 

Thanks for the Super Bowl Drew. You completely turned this organization around.

Next man up.

What an incredible ride. Looking forward to the day when fans can return to the Dome in great number and retire Drew's #9 in style.

I am not usually a person who cares, thinks or obsesses about meeting my sports heroes. But despite that, I'd love to meet Drew someday and play him in a match of tennis (even if he whips me).

Re: Drew Brees Officially Announces Retirement
 

What a great ride it was. I wish we didn’t waste so many of his prime years. I’m excited to see what the future holds.

Re: Drew Brees Officially Announces Retirement
 

I absolutely wanted him to play another season for many reasons, the least of which wasn't the fact that I felt he still gives us our very best chance to win.

Re: Drew Brees Officially Announces Retirement
 

His future will indeed be exciting. As for our Saints, I am dreading it. I'll still continue to predict going undefeated and winning it all every year, but deep down I'll be back to simply celebrating whatever wins we accomplish just like in the pre-Drew era.

But it could be worse, we could be Failclowns fans.

Re: Drew Brees Officially Announces Retirement
 

Seeing this in print is making me say "DUH!" in my head. Retiring 15 years to the day that he signed makes perfect sense.

Thanks Drew. Thanks for all those years of excellence. Thanks for the magical 2009 Super Bowl run bringing a well deserved championship to New Orleans.

You will be missed and never forgotten as a legend in New Orleans Saints football.

Re: Drew Brees Officially Announces Retirement
 

This.

You're completely right. His season was marred by cancel culture, political nonsense, ****ty teammates and Covid. What a terrible way to have it end. Not to mention that brutal injury.

Wish you went out on top hoisting the Lombardi in your final season. You deserved it. But you'll always be the GOAT in NOLA.

Ick. It still makes me sick how some of his teammates treated him. Goddamnit it pisses me off. Bunch of ****in entitled, self serving, racist losers.
