Well over the last couple days I've been the biggest anti-Drew Brees person on this website. While I know a lot of you aren't going to agree, here's my thoughts on us signing Drew...

I think we overpayed way too much for a mediocre qb. We just shelled shelled out Tom Brady/ Peyton Manning money to Drew (bleeping) Brees. I'm not totally sold on him making a full recovery from his injury either. Another concern I have about Brees is that now since he got the big contract that all athletes want, he is going to relax and we will never see him play at the level he did for those 2 good years in SD. This was a guy who was in the dog house in SD until they used the 4th pick on Rivers. Rivers didn't sign right away, and as a result a fire was lit under Brees and he played real well. Now he has no competiton at qb and has the big contract, we're not going to see him perform at a pro bowl level. He clearly wanted to go to Miami and when they went with Culpepper he was resigned to inking a deal with us. I can't wait to see a guy who doesn't even want to be here play for us. He is all about the money, and now since he has it he is going to be a mediocre qb for the 6 years he spends here. Don't get me wrong, he is a HUGE upgrade from what we had, but I am now more sure than ever that Matt Leinart is going to have a Hall of Fame career. Also, unless Leinart wows the Jets or Raiders, there is a very good chance that we will be stuck with the number 2 pick. While these teams may want to trade up, both teams can now stay put and still get one of the big 3 if that's the direction they choose. I am a huge NY Yankee fan so I'm used to overpaying for players. But atleast with the Yanks, I can tell myself, "Well besides the money, they came here to win now and be a part of the most storied franchise in all of sports." With the Saints, I know the guy came here just for the money. I hope I'm wrong and Brees only gets better as a qb and does for us what he did for SD and then some (Super Bowl championship). Unfortunately, I can't help but think this isn't a signing that is going to lead us to a Super Bowl. Here's to wasting the #2 pick on the 2nd best linebacker in the big 12 from last year or on another DE. Atleast with the money I'm going to save from buying a Leinart jersey I can use to get wasted watching Drew Brees float passes the way a NY qb I see every sunday do

We would be so much better of with Matt Lienhart... Said No-one EVER.

But it's a good one ...

WOW... can you remember the day this happened? Read the comments too.
This day will go down as one of the great days in Saints history.
