The Saints have only had two great QBs in their history: Archie Manning and Drew Brees.

True fans of this team know what happens when you have a great QB and not much else; it isn't pretty.

If the coach leaves, what is he supposed to do, go down with the sinking ship. Before Sean came, we were nothing like the browns under Haslett. We were a a 8-8, 9-7 team for three years straight. In fact in four of our first five years under Haslett we were a .500 or better team. The year Katrina hit, we lost a lot of close games-Atl, StL, Chi, NE, TB-twice, Det. We could have had another .500 season if not for Katrina. It's not the end if Brees leaves, it's the start of a new era. Look at KC, they picked theirselves u after Montana and Green each. And when Brees became a saint the team that saints suceeded as a top offense was kc. KC made one mistake with Herm, then Haley got shafted in a injury riddled season where the team finished 7-9, putting Romeo in a rough situation. The browns are the browns because they have ignored investing RBs and WRs. And when two did not work out, or one, well they did not try to get a new one. St.Louis's offense sucks because they have no elite receivers. Are we likely to ignore talent under a new coach? No. But the team without Sean will be set back and Brees has to go where he can contend right away.

Keeping Brees without Sean and expecting him to be treated like a college kid is not going to work also. He is not CK or Smith who needed teaching under Harbaugh. Better off getting a rookie who will play like that. And getting Harbaugh will be like admitting we were screwed when he was coaching SF.
