Most passing yards by a Quarterback over a span of 5 years.
Most passing yards in a single season
Only Quarterback ever to hit 5,000+ yards twice.
The most accurate quarterback ever (Only Quarterback to hit over 71% accuracy)
Only Quarterback in NFL history to get 400+ yards in 4 consecutive playoff games.
Led us to a Superbowl title
Probably has the best leadership in the game today
During the lockout, spend his own money to set up a training camp, including paying staff.
Has helped the team and players to countless other records and is a respected member of the human race.
Has played well over what he has been paid since 2006
Has other records that I haven't mentioned.
Raised over $7,000,000 with his wife for the Brees Dream foundation and has no hesitation in giving back.
Family man and man of faith (I am not a religious person but I do recognise the dedication of people who are and have faith)
If anyone can think of anything else to add, feel free. The point I am trying to make is to get off the man's back! We know that he always points to his teammates rather than take the credit but we also know that to let him go would be the best move ever if we are wanting a mediocre team. Yes he is asking for a lot but doesn't he deserve to be a little selfish, especially since he is asking for it to be front loaded as he has been burned before. For those of you saying let him go because he's being greedy and it's about the team, remember those words when we have an ok Quarterback and are 8-8, 7-9, 4-12 etc. Because, unless there is a miracle if we let him go, that is what will happen. CUT THE GUY SOME SLACK!

He will be paid.

Where is all this Drew Brees bashing?

Supertek · 05-04-2012, 01:38 PM

All this posturing is some real BS need just to get done with it. Saints just never had to deal with a thing like this before they should offer something to make he a part of the Saints for life just for pot liquor and I think this would be a done deal. Never did like Tom Condom though.

As good as he was, he couldn't overcome our defense in the last two years.

That winey, crybaby, Eli Manning won the Super Bowl for God's sake! You don't have to have records broken to win the Super Bowl, you need a TEAM.

Eli had a defense, both times.

I love Brees as much as anyone, but he is not the messiah. Way too much emphasis is put into the quarterback. Yes he is the single most important player on our team, and yes he deserves to be paid accordingly. But they have tried to make him the highest paid QB in the entire league, and he still asks for more. Am I calling him greedy? No, he has a right to negotiate for as much as he can get. But the Saints simply can't give him more than they are offering.

To say that we could afford to lose everyone else just to keep Brees, because he is the franchise player doesn't really make sense to me. If drew didn't have any talent around him, would he have put up these kind of numbers? Drew is probably the best in the game right now, but even the best QB's don't win without a good team around them. They make their team better, but they can't do it alone.

He will sign though, so this is why myself and everyone else I have seen, are not bashing Drew, but simply voicing our impatience. They have offered a more than fair deal in most people's opinion.

Yes, Brees' accomplishments are great, but it's a team game.
Because we have to set aside money for him we traded down Nicks to Grubbs, and Meachem to Arrington. Next year will it be Graham and Bushrod? We can't weaken every other position just to keep one guy happy
