Who here still has faith in Brees

Speedy Ron · 03-09-2012, 10:11 AM

faith in his ability...yes
faith that he is the man we thought he WAS...not so much.

Plenty of faith here, for those so inclined ...
Drew Brees | Facebook

saintfan · 03-09-2012, 11:02 AM

I honestly thought Drew was going to take a little less to help management keep key players in place. I swear to all that is holy I honestly expected him to do that. I'm not talking about a deep cut in his contract. If anyone deserves the 'highest paid player' tag it's Drew Brees.

What I know now is that we have twice attempted to make him just that - the highest paid player. I'm assuming here, but I assume his disapproval of either of those deals is due to their back-loaded nature. I understand completely why this would be of concern to him.

But in the end this squabble appears to be over chump change relative to the money he has made and will make if he signed the deal as is.

Do I have faith in him? 100% absolutely. Complete faith. I am disappointed though, and with what I believe is good reason.

I am really more annoyed by all his streams of Facebook posts that are basically really obvious advertising/endorsements-- I mean I get what he's doing and all but he's gotten way out of hand with it. That is not the same Drew.

I agree with Sapper, otherwise, it is going to be a long painful time until JULY.

Management/Smanagement LOYALTY goes both ways. It was time for the Saints to show LOYALTY to their guy the one that has been LOYAL to the SAINTS and this TOWN and in comparison was low paid for what he brought here and in my opinon so far they failed. Quarterbacks like this do not come along that often ask the twenty or so teams that would love to have Brees.

So you would be ok if the team paid Drew 100 Meellion dollars and let the rest of the team be 2nd string scrubs? Where does that get us (The Team)?

It's not like the contract, money wise, was a low ball offer. He just doesn't want what happened in San Deeago to happen here.

If the "team" did that, I would have problems with the "team" not Drew.

I think you missed the sarcasim/comical point I was making. Maybe my jokes suck, I dunno.

For those who have lost faith in Drew..... You better go find your Brooks jersey...

I am going to call you out if I see you wearing #9 this season.
