Why do people keep trying to replace Drew 5 years earlier than necessary?

Because a lot of people are convinced he doesn't have 5 more years. I myself believe he's got 5 seasons left in him, but I understand why others might not. 40 is pretty old for a quarterback. Troy Aikman retired at 34, Marino 38, Joe Montana 38.

On the other hand Vinnie Testaverde played until he was 44.

We'll see.

And Brady and Manning are 2 and 3 years older than him right now. Is this their last year? Both look like they can play a couple more. And now that 99.9 % of the season is touch football on QB's their NFL life spans should increase.

I have seen zero evidence that age has started catching up to Drew Brees.
