Pleased for your daughter. And I am pleased you have this synergy with her too.

But for me, Drew Brees is a solid 10 year + PROFESSIONAL sports person. He is a long term leader who really should be able to perform under some of the most sternest physiological, mental and physical situations. Not having SP around might make some difference but not one that should affect him in the odd coupke of games here and there. And Brees has not had Payton for a few games now.

Whoa, wait a sec, did you just throw out and disregard the importance of Sean Payton right there? Really? Not having SP around shouldn't affect Drew? I find that amazing. So we could just get any old coach up in here and Drew should still be able to perform and go 13-3? Wow.

Your assumption much like many others is that Drew RUNS the offense. He LEADS the offense but doesn't RUN it, there is a huge difference.

In regards to PROFESSIONAL, Drew has carried and conducted him self as a PROFESSIONAL every step of his career, through adversity. PROFESSIONALISM has nothing to do with being OVERBURDENED with no LEADERSHIP.

Even Leaders have to be Lead. Every Colonel has a General and that General has a General.

Know why Payton Manning only has 1 Super Bowl Championship? Because he had no head Coach when Caldwell was on the field.
