It's time!!!! 1 year left on his current deal. It's up to us to be proactive and sign Drew Brees long term. I think brees is 100 million dollar man reguardless. But, If Manning signs first 100 million = that puts pressure on N.O. brass to match Mannings contract.

He deserves a raise magic.
Drew had to literally put the team on his back seen as we had absolutely no running game.
The cleveland game he did not play well but the Coach Payton got outcoached that game when they ran a load of trick plays.
Every QB has a couple of bad games, but the way i see it. The guy has brought us 2 back to back Post Season appearances, a SB championship, he donates his time and money to the city. He's the Best QB the franchise has ever had.
The guy deserves a raise, and big time. We will get a running game and drew will be his same old self, he can't do it all on his own.

Drew's INT's were not all his doing. alot of them were tips.

Make no mistake Drew has earned top QB money. Why does Manning deserve more money than Drew? IMHO...He doesn't.

Drew IS the New Orleans Saints and we would have never even sniffed at a SuperBowl without him.

Manning is better than Brees, so he gets more money.

Drew will be 32 on Saturday and in his book he said how he would have loved to play his entire career with 1 team. Well that can't happen but we can make sure it's only 2. I say a 7 year $100 million extension. He's earned it.

When Drew enter the Hall of Fame 10-12 years from now, I want it to be with the Black and Gold #9 jersey...Sign Him!!!

Give him the money. No other Saints QB accomplished more.

Brees will probably get around a 7 year extension in the neighborhood of about $160 million. No idea on how much of that would be guaranteed, but I would be willing to say at least a third. I know these dollars sounds outrageous, but considering the money the top QB's are getting these numbers sound about right.

TD completions? Brees and Manning tied for second with Brady edging them out by 3.
Completion Percentage - Brees 68.1 - Rivers was second at 66.0
Interceptions? Yes, quite certain any one of the above QB's would throw more interceptions when forced into a "NO" running game for most of the season. Other than the interceptions, you cannot complain about Drew Brees this season and be realistic. I'll take my chances with Brees any day of the week because I know at the end of the day, he has the Saints best interest at heart.

Sure, let Brees geaux...

Teams without a ProBowl QB like Carolina, San Fran, Arizona, Miami, Cleveland, Oakland, ask them how that's working out for 'em...
