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.

Sometimes wonder if Brees wasn't fully accepted by that NBC crew, set; often it seemed like he was only to comment when cue'd; he's a guy that sets things in motion...

Agree with Chris that he came off stiff, but I think he'd do better in the booth, like Romo, calling games but with a good young announcer, getting more reps...

Brees did have his one moment picking the Saints over the Buccaneers and you can tell Brees knew his pick would be right - as it turned out to be...

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

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

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.

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

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)
