Some of them aren't his fault and some are. But he gets to a time where he has to throw the ball and he has to take a chance and rely on the target to make a play or even to make sure that the ball isn't intercepted almost playing defender instead of receiver.

Even Bret has his fair share of INT's.

I love Drew for what he has done for the team & for the city BUT he is not EVER going to make a league MVP throwing this many Ints!! He also should not get the same amount of bucks that a Brady does because of that!!

(let the disagreemants fly....!)

This season he has 1 more INT than Brady but also 1 more TD, not to mention 300 more yards.

Drew is a play maker. Period. Yeah it can be maddening at times but the hell with it. The W's are all that matter. It is a team game #1. If Drew try's to make something happen and gets picked, we should be able to rely on our D to get the offense the ball back.

Off topic a bit, did anyone see the GB/SD game. We complain about our D..lol
GB has some studs on there D but they are not in the secondary. I am personally looking forward to a rematch with GB. If we play them like we did this game, we win hands down. We have just as good of a passing game but a better run game when we commit to it.

Then again, Brady has thrown 10 picks this year, so I wouldn't use him as a comparison. Peyton Manning threw tons of picks in 2009 (16) and 2010 (17) and he's getting top money. Maybe a better question to ask is what does a quarterback mean to his team and could his team possibly live without him. Maybe we could live without him and maybe we couldn't but I'm not really interested in finding out!

He absolutely deserves the big money because of what he's done for the team and the city. And though it matters very little in the grand scheme of things, Brees should have been the league MVP in 2009. I was pretty disappointed with him not getting it.

I don't think you give someone a new contract for what they've done, you give them a new contract based on what they can do for you over the life of the new contract.

With that being said, he's gonna get a huge raise.

What a person has done shows what he's capable of and is the indicator of how they will perform in the future. We all see that Brees is one of the best players in the league and deserves the loot.

I understand that a player gets paid based on what he will bring to the team in the next few years but I would guess that his influence on the region since his arrival would affect his pay. At least Tom Condon hopes so.

Thats my point. You contract him on future contributions, not past contributions under a previous contract.

But obviously past performance is a huge factor in determining what those future contibutions are.
