If our mixed young/veteran line could put pressure on the QB, our DB's wouldn't look EXPOSED

If our o-line had depth and solid upgrades at tackle, Brees wouldn't be throwing INT, the hurries would grow less and sacks wouldn't be an issue.

Which brings me to the next question: Do we spend our last free agency dime on the biggest contract ever for Drew? Or do we weigh our options and beef up key positions and hope Drew takes the same pay on an extension?

Perplexing.....

Goes to my question from the lockout: Just how much is enough?

I'm the first to say that Drew deserves everything he gets, in many ways he is far more deserving of "The Highest Paid Player" moniker than just about anyone who's ever held that title, but he's a smart guy. He's already made (and will continue to make regardless of the value of his next contract) a LOT of money. Does he want to win or does he want to cash even bigger checks?

Time will tell, and I know which way I hope he goes, but honestly I won't hold it against him regardless. Without Drew Brees we don't have our lone championship, so in many ways he's worth a king's ransom, even for past performances...but I do hope he sees the bigger picture.
