Report: Drew Brees has torn plantar fascia in right foot

You all are crazy if you think Drew is going to let someone else start the last 2 games. You can't make the foot injury any worse by playing on it.
It's just how well you can handle the pain. If anything this injury to Drew might make them throw the quick slants that I've been wanting to see since we drafted Cooks. It could also be quite possible this Sunday could be Drew's last home game in a Saints uniform. I bet first beer he plays.

It's his plant foot throwing the ball. I don't see Payton risking more injury. He can't run and the Jags have a good D. Brees could get hurt alot worst. It takes a long time for this to heal, got to look at next season. I agree Brees might want to play but he(or the Saints) shouldn't throw caution into the wind with just 5 wins ,it's not worth it.

Not Brees' call. Payton simply needs to declare him inactive and that's the end of that.

What exactly is the upside to having Brees play injured at this point? If the team was fighting for a playoff spot, that would be one thing. But this season is over. So risking the franchise to stroke his ego would be the height of stupidity.

In fact the team should put Brees on IR and be done with it. Let Grayson get a couple of games of seasoning. Playing live regular season football can do nothing but help develop Grayson going into the offseason.

And this team for as brilliant as it's been, has done some equally stupid things...

Loyalty is one thing so long as it doesn't affect the overall long-term health of the team...

Remember what Doug Flutie told Drew in San Diego "Never let your backup see the field"

"Playing for draft choices now" is spelled T A N K I N G.

Some people may feel it's tanking, but playing Grayson now does two possible things...

Gives an evaluation if he is a quality starter for life, soon-to-come, after Brees...

These are expendable games, we are eliminated for this season, what better opportunity for him to gain experience in regular season games?!?

Second, if the worst is losing the remaining games, is moving up in the draft order such a bad thing to get even better players for next season?!?

Play for both the now and the future...
