Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

One and done.

Legendary NFL quarterback Drew Brees will not return to NBC after just one season as a studio and game analyst, according to sources.

He was pretty bad. Too wooden.

I honestly don’t think Payton will be any better.

Looks like he's going to be free to return to the Saints.

;)

Re: Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

Yep, really stiff but I’ve seen far worse.

Re: Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

I think Drew would be better as a color analyst, while not animated as Romo is but just as knowledgeable and pretty fair, which I like. Unlike Collinsworth arse, he has to be one of the driest and biased analyst out there.

Re: Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

Should we blame the new hair for his shortcomings at NBC?

Re: Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

He was a good game caller, as an "analyst" who really cares? It's entertainment not science or journalism. I can't stand most of the analysts especially the rest of PFT (can't stand any of them). Hopefully he takes over the #1 game caller on Fox now that Aikman is gone (good riddance)

Make him an offensive coordinator.

You can come back. As a coach.

Re: Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

I though he was alright doing the college games.

Re: Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

I didn't think he was bad at all. At least the one game I saw. I've certainly heard worse.

I don't think he's gonna play ball again. Even if he did, most teams would pass. I'm sure he hates the way his career ended. And honestly, so do I.

Re: Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

I honestly can’t provide a good opinion. I usually don’t watch games with the sound on and, If it is, I tune out what announcers and people are saying during games anyway. It goes back to that story I told about watching the falcons game at a bar last year. I don’t GAS about any conversation going on when a Saints game is going on. That’s just me.

Re: Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

I do think Brees could come back into the league and be an effective tutor/backup QB for the right person/team. Imagine if you will he signs to be the back up QB for the Chargers and Herbert. The storylines there would be great. He’s still a smart dude and I’m sure he’d be the best backup QB in the league should he choose to be so.

Re: Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

But why?

Re: Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

Re: Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

Why what? Why do I think he could be a backup QB?

Re: Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

No. I'm pretty sure saintsfan1976 was asking why would Brees ever want to be a backup QB. Not for the money. Not to stay close to the game. He can do that as an announcer. Not as a mentor. He could do that as a coach. The challenge? No. The prestige? Nope. It would also reset the Pro Football Hall of Fame clock by two years.

Well bully for you Guido for butting in on what you think someone else meant about a question they posed to me.

Re: Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

What is your problem, Boston? Geez! :rolleyes:

Re: Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

My problem is you butting in.

Re: Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

It's an open forum, Boston. :rolleyes:

Re: Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

You are just being “argumentative”. Stop playing the victim.

I made a comment. Another user responded. I asked that user a question. You butt in. It’s simple. Why you can’t understand that’s it rude to interrupt is your problem. Is 1976 not able to respond?

Re: Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

I'm sorry. :bugeyes: I would assume 1976 would still be able to respond.

Cmon Drew, lace em up and lets run it back

Re: Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

JP kinda touched on this a few days ago in a related post.

Maybe DB couldn't stand the sight of working alongside Florio & Simms for 7, 8 hours a day? Driving in to cold Bristol, CT office isn't the same as being down South ... culture, food, weather, atmosphere & whatnot.

I wouldn't blame him if that was the case :bng:

Re: Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

Yeah, the part where he says that he prepared the same way as an in game analyst as he did when he was preparing for a game as a QB was very telling. There is only one NBC color commentator because NBC only has the one game a week. I have a feeling he'll have a game commentator gig at Fox or CBS fairly soon.

Does Cam know something?

Re: Drew Brees done at NBC after one season as NFL analyst
 

Round hole. Square peg. Let him just talk about the plays and explain the game. That is where he shines. He is designed to diagnose plays.
