Saints QB Drew Brees retires from NFL after 20 seasons: 'I am not retiring from New Orleans'

They were just discussing the post Brees era for the Saints and were saying that the Saints fans need to be prepared for life after Brees. They gave comparisons of how Miami is still looking for a replacement for Dan Marino decades later. The same with Elway until Manning made a brief appearance and now they are back to looking again. 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.
