It was obvious to the objective eye that things in his throwing were not what they were. Father Time beats all of us eventually.

In Breesus name. Amen.

What we saw happening at what now seems like a million miles away, the Front Office saw as well… And here we are with Derek Carr.

From the sound of it he could've been on the injury report for his entire Saints tenure!!! What a gamer!

Imagine noticing this from within the organization, changing the offense to suit the diminishing strength in his arm. And then not actively going after someone to learn from / start immediately when he was done.

Poor choices again by this organization to not see this coming.

Late in his career, the man may have lost his deep ball skills, but there was NO ONE who could whip out a ball in a timing pattern like him! We were honored and priveleged to have him in Black & Gold while we did.

Makes the Tom Brady decision even more baffling. He was headed here, then Brees reuped for two more years, same year SP reuped. History has some interesting turns.

not before career ending injuries get you

Whatever happened to Derek Carr, Pete Carmichael, and Dennis Allen's brains from CTE and dementia is 1000x any problems with Drew Brees shoulder. At least left handed, Brees would see an open receiver.

They were going to ride Drew until he dropped. Then the plan was to walk to town and find some broken down gelding to take over.

I’d take Drew’s noodle arm, sewn onto Aaron Brooks’ head, coached by Sean Payton, this Sunday or ANY day, rather than what we’re going to be subjected to.

It was very obviously the last 2, maybe 3 years of Drew's career, that they were modifying the offense to hide or conceal the fact that Drew had the noodle arm and coldn't really throw the deep ball. It was like an open secret, defenses knew that the rainbow long bomb was not going to happen, so they could game plan around that, which is why getting to the playoffs became tougher and tougher those last couple years of Payton. Also Taysom Hill was a great find, but it's not an accident they found him -- he was brought here to help Drew out by taking some of the pressure off between the 20s, less snaps for Drew, less chances for his arm to get hit. It actually worked really well because Taysom is in fact a very special player. But his initial appearance in a Saints uniform as diamond in the rough, he was definitely part of the overall effort to hide Drew's arm.
