Danno

I think I'm now firmly on the "sit him" bandwagon.

He's hurt (If he wasn't hurt, he plays, end of story)
But since he's hurt...
We're out of the playoffs
We have a young QB that could use the experience
We have a young QB that could use some evaluation

As Brees ages little injuries like this are going to occur more and more.
We really need to evaluate/develop our back-ups. The last two games could tell us a lot about Grayson, or even Flynn.

We absolutely should have a Plan-B QB ready to step in just in case Drew misses several games.

You simply can not replicate game speed in practice or pre-season. Lets see what the kid's got.

What Payton needs is reassurance from Benson/Loomis that winning or losing these last two games won't effect his decision on coaching changes.

If Payton is 100% sure that he'll be back in 2016, he may be more comfortable with benching Brees these last two games.
