New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees “Best in NFL”?

darksoul35 · 04-05-2013, 08:08 PM

I have to disagree. What if we had even the twenty eighth ranked defense last year? We couldve ran the ball a little and not be playing behind as much. Brees had to force things always playing behind and bad play calling. How old was Payton last year and he is coming off that injury. We will be back next season and Brees will DOMINATE once again.

You take away some of Brees playmaking ability you must add more talent to compensate. Our cap situation is only going to get worse.

His play started to decline last year.

Every year so does Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, etc.

As a player reaches a certain age their production begins to drop off. Where is the drop off in the production of Tom Brady, Payton/Eli Manning, Aaron Rodgers, etc?

The Saints have been waiting for over 60 years for a QB like Brees; so you are willing to let Brees walk. Correct me if I am wrong, but did Brees ASK the Saints for that contract. I guarantee you this, if Brees made it to a FA, he would've gotten offered a helluva lot more money than the Saints offered!

Our cap situation is only going to get worse
Have players like Will Smith, Vilma, to name a few, played to the value of their contracts like Brees?

The only reason we have been as successful as we have with our defense is because of Brees-Fact
This fact alone make argument moot!!

You take away some of Brees playmaking ability... Other than God, who is taking away some of Brees' play-making abolity?

His play started to decline last year. Considering the circumstances Brees had to play under, namely no HC, and interim head coach, saddled with the worst defense in NFL history, I think Brees did an outstanding job last year!!

He is the best, not that we are totally biased.......

Most expensive, too.

Brady isn't the best. He hasn't won since spygate. How many Super Bowls would Drew have if we knew the opposing teams' defensive signals??

Just a few facts to throw into the conversation...

National Football League Most Valuable Player Award (NFL MVP)

Peyton Manning Four Time MVP (4) '03, '04, '08, '09,
Tom Brady Two Time MVP (2) '07, '10
Aaron Rodgers MVP (1) '11
Drew Brees No LMVP (0) None
Joe Flacco No LMVP (0) None

Joe Flacco is the highest paid QB in the NFL...

Drew Brees is the highest paid QB in the NFL net taxes...
