Brees: Saints will thrive in wake of bounty penalties

SapperSaint · 04-11-2012, 01:07 PM

I know Drew could give 2 craps about what ole Sapper thinks.

I..."I", don't want to end up hating him and seeing him as a money grubbing football player.

Is Drew worth what he wants? IMHO as a Saints fan; YES. I want him to get paid. I want him to retire as a Saint. I want a statue of Gold of him in front of the Dome when he retires. I want all the best things for Drew Brees.

But what this team NEEDS, is for him to be the leader right now.

These are all great sentiments, but the reality is that if Brees gets a $24M per contract it won't matter about the "team" because there won't be one ... You can't possibly sign quality players around him with that much committed to one guy per year ... Drew knows that -- he's not stupid. I love Drew - best thing to ever happen to this franchise, but let's be honest ... He got his ring and now it's about getting paid ... He's a LOCK for the HOF -- These guys know their careers could be ended at any moment ... He's only doing what most capitalists do --- CAPITALIZING on an opportunity to make A TON of money.

As fans we hate it, but any one of us would be doing it if we were in his situation. (Okay, there may be a few exceptions so spare me the "leader" comments ... This has little to do with leadership.)

WHO DAT!!! I want Bounty Gate to die forever ...
