After watching Manning and Brady, I'd say more like 4 years.

Jimmy isn't going anywhere. He's got Drew making him look real good.

I'm sorry but neither Atlanta nor Green Bay has anything equal to what we offer.
Atl: Ryan is overrated, White is injury prone, Jones is good, Jackson is on life support and their defense is horrendous.

GB: Rogers is phenomenal, Lacy is a beast, Nelson is good, their defense is horrible and its cold in GB.

US: Brees is phenomenal, Colston again, Stills on rise, Robinson/Ingram ascending, our defense is rapidly improving while getting younger.

Plus, he plays 10 games in either a dome or warm weather, 11 depending on Carolina when we play. Plus you know Sean Payton knows how to use him and put him in relevant positions.

Some of this is Payton's fault. I understand the desire to split Graham out wide or flex him into the slot, but we do it much too often. He's becoming a tight end in name only.
