Re: Please get off of Brees
Glad we have him and love what he's done for the team, but he's not perfect.
Don't forget the players union crap he pulled. Don't forget him holding the organization hostage for that contract, which prevented us from franchising Carl Nicks and keeping the best interior line in football together for several more years. He might be a Saint, be he's no Saint. |

Re: Please get off of Brees
Montana, Favre, Warner the HOF list goes on... We've all seen this movie before. When it's time to move on, you move on.
Time is the ultimate decision maker for a team. That and an outrageous price tag to keep a QB on the roster, more out of loyalty, than for what he contributes to a team struggling to move forward. I love the man. I love the QB and what he has meant to the team and the NOLA region. But I struggle with watching his skills degrade. It's like watching your favorite heavyweight fighter get in the ring when he's old. You want him to win, but deep in your heart, you know he's going to get banged up by a younger fighter. |

Re: Please get off of Brees
And that's the rub. If management had vision, they would have already been grooming the 'heir apparent' who would have benefited immensely from Brees' teaching. As it stands, in Star Wars terms, any Padawan who learns under him may not have the Jedi Master long before he moves on.

It is all good and well to want the QB of tomorrow, but give me Brees for four more years instead of moving back to the days of Aaron Brooks and beyond. Simply put, you don't replace a part until you have a working part to use in its place. Yes, McCown did well this week. Brees would have done just as well. In fact, I believe McCown played as well as he is capable ... and he lost. You know the old saying, "beware of what you wish for, you just may get it." Personally I not wanting to go through another 30 year stretch of mediocre to poor QB's that have no shot of breaking .500 in any given season. No thank you. |
