Sean can be pretty sentimental sometimes (Hartley anyone?). I've seen many great players stick around too long ending up costing their teams big time in the end. I'd rather see him go out on top.

I have little doubt that Brees can still be on top five or six years from now. He is in better physical condition than most 28 year old QB's.

Re: How awesome would this be! Drew Brees for 10 more years!
I just heard Brady say the same thing and I believe we'll see a 45 yr old QB in this NFL where u can't hit the QB. Bree's relies on his quickness a lot and he never had the strongest arm. Plus he has a surgically repaired throwing shoulder. His career was supposed to be over when we signed him. Saban chose Culpepper over Brees for this reason. I love repeating that. But I could see Brady playing until 45 easier than Brees based on their playing styles. But I hope he pulls it off. He looks great in Black and Gold! Who Dat!

But I like everything else you said. Especially the part about you can't hit a QB. That'll add 5 to 7 years to a current QB over one that played in the 80's and 90's. |

Maybe, but Nickie didn't have to listen to the doctors. He could have pulled the trigger on Brees anyway. Saban was an utter failure in the NFL. Maybe that'll tug at his heartstrings when he leaves for an NFL job. Seems to have worked for Pete Carroll.
