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.
