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.

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.

	Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
