I won't be bemoaning every tiny thing that goes wrong during the game, nor will I spell doom and gloom after.

Thanks for everything Drew! You put your heart and soul into the Saints and it showed. Never seen a QB with more heart and more drive to succeed.
When the rest of the team was poor, it was still awe inspiring watching him sling the rock and tearing apart defenses.

Enjoy your retirement and once again, thanks for making Saints football exciting.

I agree. I am going your use your post .

I have no complaints, criticism. Nothing.

best wishes for the best, Brees.

Was expecting this and can't agree more that its time, but it still hits hard. All the years he spent here. What he did for this fan base and the city. I will truly miss not seeing #9 suit up in black and gold. Im excited for the future but will be leaving in the past for awhile. Thank you Drew.

Thank you to Drew Brees for all you’ve done. I’m so glad that I travelled 3,000 miles to get to see him play in the Superdome! It’s a memory that I will cherish forever.

He Deserved a better send off than that crappy no-fan season. God Bless Drew. Best QB the Saints will ever have.

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.

Having a meltdown? Thought the glass was always half full for you. All of your posts in this thread are negative when it should be about remembering and honoring the man. Stop making it about you.
