Brees coming back

jtsaints · 05-16-2022, 08:01 AM

In an interview he said he may come back to football. Wonder if he would serve as a back up, a starter or go to another team. I'm sure he sees the wr core we have now and dreams he would of had that when he was playing.

Brees isn't coming back to play professional football.

Besides, he's done.

He could walk in off the streets and start any given Sunday compared to what we have

No he can't & Brees is done. Under no circumstances is he remotely interested in suiting up at age 43 to have 300 + lb man chase, hit, and sack him for 4 quarters of NFL competition. End of an era, the book is closed. Father time is undefeated.

He's not returning to play football. Period. It's the off-season. The media will take any story and run with it, hoping that it sticks.

Whether you want to accept it or not, coach Dennis Allen is team Jameis Winston for 2022.

"I think it was a comment made in jest, and we certainly haven't had any conversations in that regard," Allen said.

Allen had a follow-up question that asked if Brees could still do it.

"I don't really want to live in those hypothetical worlds right now. We'll see where it all goes, but certainly he caused a lot of interest, that's for sure."

General manager Mickey Loomis said he didn't see it either, and also hasn't talked to Brees. It's hard envisioning this scenario playing out, but certainly makes for a fairy tale type of scenario. For the foreseeable future, this is Jameis Winston's team, and he's the unquestioned starter going into the season.

As player:
Lets save him from himself, chip in to buy a fork and mail it to him. Throw in a picture of Favre and a sticky note that says "don't be that guy".

As a QB coach:
Lets make room for him. His work ethic and drive alone would elevate any team.

As a broadcaster: Put him in the booth so he can share his knowledge and expertise on a play by play basis and satisfy his passion by diving deeply into each individual game assignment just as he described doing as a player.

That’s an interesting point and I think you are correct. You specifically said WRs. But just to do a comparison, let’s take a look at what Brees had to throw to during one of his best yardage seasons vs what’s on paper for the Saints now:

Graham vs Thomas. That’s a wash IMO
Colston va Landry Again, that’s a wash
Meacham vs Olave. Both Young first round draft picks. We shall see.
Sproles/Thomas vs Kamara. Edge Kamara but hit by much.
Moore vs Callaway/Smith. Wash

Just thoughts off the top of my head.
