The Jets still haven't found the replacement for Namath. They said several other franchises have never even had a QB of that caliber to even replace. They said while Payton can coach anyone, the offense will have to be different because Brees was so special that he could handle that offense. They said there's no way to expect anyone else to step in and execute that offense. And the leadership will be impossible to replace. His ability to lead was unparalleled.
My New Top Item On Bucket List:
Live long enough to see a QB come to New Orleans to replace Drew Brees.
Guess I better see a Doctor, change my diet, start taking huge volumes of vitamins. Gonna be a long haul I'm afraid.

I stayed positive throughout that mediocrity. When it comes to the season I'll still predict us to go undefeated (just like I did throughout the prebreesian era) and on game day I'll be sitting in the same spot fully expecting a win just as I always have. I won't be bemoaning every tiny thing that goes wrong during the game, nor will I spell doom and gloom after.

So you won’t be doing precisely what you did every Taysom Hill start this season?

Good luck with it but it’s not your nature, and while we may differ on things quite often we are if anything true to our own natures.

Amazing run. Hardest worker at the position ever. Probably the only Saints Super Bowl title in my lifetime.

Remove optimist from Eternal Optimist BS and you will have nailed him precisely

It's the approach I learned to take with the Saints decades ago. Always hoping for the best. It just so happened that Drew Brees was the one individual that made those hopes desired into the tree of life. That's a paraphrasing of the text of the tattoo on my left arm (Proverbs 13:12):

"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but desire fulfilled is a tree of life"
