Do you know just how bad that is compared with previous Saints QBs and their best efforts in the black & gold???

Billy Kilmer 74.9 in 1969
Archie Manning 81.8 in 1980
Ken Stabler 71.8 in 1981
Dave Wilson 83.9 in 1984
Bobby Hebert 82.9 in 1987 and 1992
Wade Wilson 87.2 in 1994
Jim "Chris" Everett 87.0 in 1995
Mike Ditka's QB cluster 83.5 (Tolliver) in 1998
Aaron Brooks 88.8 in 2003


Yep, it's painfully obvious that we would be smart to dump Brees and go back to our normal QB carousel...
The QBs of the past remind me of this video.

In all fairness if you put some of those qb.'s behind Brees O-line and Brees behind theirs, Brees would be much, much, lower and theirs especially Archie's would be much higher.
Kilmer- a good qb. that in those years the run was dominate.
Archie- to me, hall of famer, never to even get a sniff in Canton. Any decent team might have won a Superbowl with him. Not being a homer here just looking a a truely talented qb. that wasted away on a sad team year in and year out.
Stabler- washed up when we got him.
Wilson- nothing flashy but solid for the O we ran.
Heber- trader that talked a better game than he played.
Everett- I really don't know what to think about him.
Ditkas cluster- was just that
Brooks- punk, makes me sick til today. Many times I would wish a blitzing lb. would decapatate his head from his body.

All the listed QB's played behind the OL's they played behind and will never play behind the ones Brees has and vice versa. The point is mute. Big difference between What is and What if!

Re: After 2014, Brees should be traded

If you don't like QB rating as a measuring stick, try:

1) wins
2) postseason wins
3) Superbowl wins


The whole reason I posted this is that all of the discussion of getting off the Brees bandwagon before all 4 wheels fall off, the axles are broken and the driver is MIA is ludicrous.

He's by ANY measure the best QB we have ever had and probably will be the best Saints QB of any of our lifetimes...

Re: After 2014, Brees should be traded

But the question remains... for how much longer before the wheels do come off.

Being smarter than that average bear and pull the plug before the wheels come off isn't a bad theory if the right QB comes along... Colts have faired well with that theory.

Seriously? You guys have WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS. Off-season is hard, huh?
