What would you do if

...the Saints let Drew Brees walk?

Yeah, that's right, I went there. When I read phrases like "free-agent-to-be" in all the recent articles being written about the status of contract negotiations between Drew and the team, I can't help but at least ponder this alternate reality. I'll admit it's a sick, twisted thought, but with free agency nearing and no new contract imminent, technically it's possible.

If he was available & healthy, I would want the Saints to sign Peyton Manning.

It'll never happen, but if it did...

I'd still be a Saint fan and pull for whomever was behind center.

I'd probably avoid all message boards since the constant wailing and gnashing of teeth would be intolerable.

Whew, blasphany. Why do we even have to think of something that horrible. My love for the Saints will still go on. I think if he leaves it would be worse than Lebron leaving Cleveland though!!!

If Brees left the team, I think Chase Daniel would be able to get them into the playoffs. Of course the team would drastically change from a pass first team to a run first team. Heck, who am I trying to kid, the Saints would probably go 4-12... lol Fortunately, they have that thing called a franchise tag that will prevent Brees from leaving...

This is like dropping the N bomb in Harlem ... But i cant find any good reason why he would leave,or why we would want someone else instead of him . Why change something that works great?
On that note i would keep Tebow in Denver or Alex Smith in SF , just because they make things work.It may not look good,but as long as it works,why change.
If Manning is leaving,and it looks like the Colts are rebuilding from the ground up-so they wont keep him, its a lottery where hes going to go.At this point in his career he will think more about $$ than performance,so probably will wind up in Arizona or something for big $$ . He might do a Warner though ,you never know in this game,just like the ones we beat the crap out of in the Dome are playing in the Superbowl.

I'd support the next guy.

I doubt it. LeBron was their mythical son... savior of Cleveland. W/o Brees, New Orleans would still be New Orleans.

I wouldn't wish Cleveland on anyone.
