I took great care not to say that Brooks was the second best Saints QB. This piece from last year makes very valid arguments against that.

The Myth of Aaron Brooks - Canal Street Chronicles

All of which I pretty much agree with. The point of the article is that there is Brees, and then there's everyone else, take your pick. There simply isn't enough statistical evidence that Manning was significantly better than Brooks, Hebert, or Everette. So I just cannot see putting Brees and Manning in one box, and the others in another.

The simple end to the discussion is that Brees stands alone and really no one else compares in Saints history.

Which getting back to the original point, keep paying the man until he proves he no longer a top 10 QB in this league.

Bears fans are big mouth infant @sses with no regard for peoples feelings or reality. Really dont care what those idiots think. Never forgave them for the signs and comments at the 2006 playoff game where they iced the field on purpose over night.

Regardless of what their fans think, their FO is loaded with saints brass. The GM and oline coach are former saints, the coach is a friend of Sean, the oline has two former saints, the defense has a former saint. Whether bears fans like it or not, if Brees is shopped, the bears are gonna make an offer.

Lmao come on these are bears fans. let the bears lose two in a row and they will take Drew and give you Cutler and Forte and pay half their salaries to boot just to get Jay out of town

there is not a fan base in the NFL that comes close to being as fickle as DA BEARS

I mean people here said earlier in the year Brees would be wanted by 90 percent of other teams. Well, is he really?

That's just fans talking. Most coaches would take him in a second.

Cutler is very inconsistent but at times I have seen him brilliant. Bears have a little better than record than us so far and doing it with Cutler. Also can't see Brees at his age migrating to a cold state.
