Worst Game Ever for Brees.

QBREES9 · 11-30-2012, 03:09 PM

After a couple of brief congratulatory hand-slaps, Brees ran through the tunnel at the northwest corner of the Georgia Dome, the first Saint to leave the field. He ran under the sign that read THE SAINTS AIN'T ALL DAT. He ran through the traffic jam of moving trucks wedged in the Dome's tunnels. He ran past the black-and-gold-spangles of several female Saints fans. He ran to the door of Locker Room 2 and disappeared inside.

But he couldn't outrun this mess of a game. He couldn't outrun his five interceptions. He couldn't outrun the end of a 54-game touchdown streak. And he couldn't outrun the train wreck of a play sequence at the end of the first half, one that saw New Orleans stall out on Atlanta's 3-yard line and miss out on any chance to cut into a 10-point Falcons lead.

He had a horrific game but geeze he is still a HOFer & will carry NOLA to the playoffs & beyond for several more seasons. Would you guys trade him for anyone else?

In a heartbeat. One that comes to mind right away is RGIII...or Andrew Luck...and that's just off the top of my head.

OK...I have never been a fan of Drew the person, and I am sure there are people scratching their heads and thinking, "WTF is wrong with this guy?"...but it is nothing personal.

Talent-wise, he has been great, no doubt. However, he is getting old. If I honestly answer the question, then, yeah...I'd trade for someone else right now.

If you would have asked this question right after the SB win, I'm sure my answer would have been different.

Edit...Oh, yeah...one more thing. I am wondering if it is a coinkydink that people around Drew are not playing as well as before, or do they either consciously or sub-consciously do poorly because they resent how greedy he got in the offseason. Just fodder for thought.

I think most players realize the value of Brees to this franchise, so I dont see that as an issue. Peyton and Vick were the highest paid players in the league, and their teams did fine. OTOH: Brady took a pay cut so the Pats could get more talent around him, and they've been scorching ds for a long long time.

I honestly didnt see Brees being held scoreless by anyone this season, so thats a testament to the faith I have in the man.

Wait. You mean like the way Carl Nicks played so poorly after Jahri Evans got a big fat contract, at the same position, right next to him? Nicks only busted his ass, 2x Pro Bowl, 1st team All Pro in 2011. Really. Or do you mean the way Joe Morgan is so resentful, now that Colston got his contact extension? Does he seem to be resenting Colston when he catches those deep balls, and keeps getting better at it? Ivory and Sproles, do they look like they resent the extension Pierre Thomas got in 2011, to you? Really?

Please....put down the pipe...That doesn't make any sense. If anything, big contracts make people around the player play harder, because they know they can get one too, if they bust their rump...either with the Saints or somewhere else. If anything Brees is an inspiration to the players, to stay focused and quietly play through their contract, and get an even bigger payday on the next one. You're grasping for straws to hate on Brees, and this time, it just isn't there.

Im ready to see what the teams plans are for beyond Drew. He is probably going to retire at the end of his current contract and the only back up we have is Chase Daniel. I feel like he probably would have done as good of a job this season if not better if he were given a chance. Also he wouldn't have cost the team as much money which would have allowed them more room to pick up some free agents they needed. I am thinking theyn will be looking at drafting a QB some time soon in order to keep the franchise alive. I wonder if Nate or Nick Montana will be available?

Everyone is allowed to have a bad game even Drew. He'll bounce back next Sunday against the Giants. No Problem here.

At least there are still some who can see the big picture.

QBREES9 · 11-30-2012, 03:34 PM

In a Unprescendeted year. Take it one game, one day at a time. If you want to hang someone hang Roger Goodell. Drew Brees is stiill one of the greatest Quarterback we have ever seen.

Mardigras9 · 11-30-2012, 04:01 PM

Glad the streak is over, it was a distraction.
Glad his worse game was this year and not let's say in the Superbowl a few years ago.
Still glad he is our QB.
