Brees starting in spite of injury?

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; http://sports.yahoo.com/news/drew-br...194240327.html So, with absolutely nothing to be gained, other padding HOF stats (and maybe helping desperate fantasy football geeks) why is he being allowed to play? Pride? Toughness? Team? Or is it Hubris?...

That's right who the heck knows, it will make for an interesting off season.

First, I have enough Brees gear to choke a whale, so get over yourself with the 'hater' stuff.

It had nothing to do with his ability to play or even play well. My initial statement had everything to do with playing on a torn plantar fascia and why. My question is still legit. Playing would obviously not help the injury, so why wasn't he benched to protect the franchise?

Re: Brees starting in spite of injury?

Regardless of what some uninformed believe, playing on the foot will not make it worse. The only issue is pain and pain can be easily controlled. To think that Brees wouldn't have started and played well is foolish.
