Drew is 34 years old and some of you on here make him out to be 40. I'm watching Brady who is 36 going on 37 and he's doing pretty good. He make questionable decisions and throws INT's too, but without Brady, NE is a 7 win team.

Also, I get ticked off reading this about Drew because people don't remember how bad our QB's were before he got here. I'd much rather he finish his career a Saint. He11, I'd put a 41 year old Drew in there over the other 90% of the average or BAD QB's in the NFL.

LL, this is the official moan and groan thread, but you can't really listen to what pherein and bandg say right now -- they are drowning their sorrows -- or have completely lost their minds if they are serious. If they are serious then -- ask them which available QB replacement they would bring in -- and on which planet Sean Payton would ever consider that move? His play-calling may be suspect this year but I can assure you SP has not lost his mind.

Can't help but comment on how "scared" Brees looked tonight.

If any of our receivers would fight to break free the sack numbers would be different.

If he stops holding the ball waiting on Jimmy to come free the sack numbers would be different.

But, you KNOW that going into the game. You've already experienced it one time this season. You adjust.

So! You don't wander down the field after a long completion and act like you have 20 minutes!

I disagree with you. And, bring that weak ass shineola about replacing Brees here one more time Pherein and I will start a thread naming you in it -- "Pherein wants to make Brees the backup".

Hate to break it to you, but there are 7 other QB's still in the playoffs at this moment not named Drew Brees. One of them will wear a Super Bowl ring. He's not even in the top 5 QB's in the game right now, you know. We've got the QB-Payday-Curse since '11.

He really needs to grow some legs when his bubble collapses. Maybe next year we can build him a better bubble.

and when you learn to read a post let me know whodaty, like always, I dyslexic, but you cant comprehend a simple thought. No one said that lol

If Thomas doesn't get hurt, Payton is still running the one play and out rotation with Thomas, Ingram and Sproles. He did it a couple of times today after Ingram and Robinson had gained six+ yards on first down. Ride the hot guy until he raises his hand or the situation dictates.

If Hartley had missed those kicks, Saints fans would have met the plane with torches and pick forks!

Actually that's true... There are plays that are meant for certain players and Drew has a tendency to lock in on said player and wait for him to work himself open.

Sometimes it works, other times he should have thrown to another option...

But, I still disagree with you about Brees. Why don't you go get a few cocktails man -- you'll feel better and maybe your thinking will become clearer -- because I can assure you that Drew Brees did not lose this game all by himself -- and that assessment is idiotic.
