If you've got a smart, durable, mentally tough one like the Saints have in Drew Brees, you'd better appreciate your good fortune even when his fortunes are not that good. Not many teams in the NFL these days would ride out a struggling starting quarterback throwing 9 times as many interceptions as touchdowns through an 0-4 stretch as the Saints did Drew Brees in the first quarter of the season.

There was no groundswell of sentiment to replace him, an acknowledgement of the back-up role Jamie Martin silently accepts and the recent memories that Drew Brees provided a year ago and Aaron Brooks provided two seasons ago.
