I think Johnny Manziel has the perfect personality traits and mentality to make him a good...............gangsta rapper. My question. Why does he need to go to the club every night? I assume he's chasing tail and must wanna challenge Wilt Chamberlain over who scored more and I don't mean buckets. I mean. Offseason. OK. Friday night-go out. Take one home and get another one's number. Saturday go out again and repeat process. Invite the ones you got the numbers for to your place during the week............ Or throw away a chance to play in the NFL as a QB to go bar hopping every night. I pray he's on drugs because at least then this would make sense. I predict Manziel will release a rap album with multiple tracks with Beiber in em. The two douchiest dudes on the planet..........Yep. I just evaluated my last statement and am sticking to it. I was a huge Manziel fan. Very similar athlete to Russel Wilson. Maybe with a stronger arm. Unfortunately. Totally opposite personalities. Oh yeah and this thread is too soon. Brees has 3-5 years left.

McCown is a fine back-up to Drew while we figure out if Grayson is the heir apparent. We don't need to spend a draft pick on Drew's replacement for a couple of more years. We all hope Grayson can step into the clip board holder this year.

We'll know more after Drew get's his extension and then we'll have a time frame for when we need to find his replacement.

You believe Drew has five years left? Based on what? What he's doing now? Outside saints world people are already saying Brees is almost done. This is what happens when you lose games. Everyone gets torn apart.

Yes, I believe Brees can have five years left. No QB in the league has ever worked harder at keeping in shape than Brees. His off-season program which combines physical activities and a very special diet is unprecedented. An athlete that takes good care of themselves can expect a much longer period of production than ever before. The popular perception of the "lifetime" of an NFL QB is totally based upon the past and is no longer relevant today. Yes, you are correct in what the "outside" world is saying, and has been saying, about Brees. They are wrong.

Hate to poo poo on the parade but with exception of San Fran in the 90's, Green Bay with Rogers after Favre, and to a lesser extent the Colts recently, it's rare for an NFL franchise to follow-up an NFL legend QB like Brees with another legend.

We could spend years sifting through draft picks and free-agents only to have wasted money looking for the next Brees.

I would rather the team draft huge young players on both sides of the ball and hope the next Brees comes in free agency or through the draft at any skilled position. When we find our next offensive attack, build a team around that player - running-back, wide receiver, QB, etc. Keep building the core players and both lines and skills players so when the next QB arrives from a draft or 2nd or 3rd string, or free agency naturally, the foundation will already be in place.

Yep, the trick is getting the right monsters in front of him, some guys with real sticky hands and some running backs who don't confuse blitzes with blintzes. That'll lengthen his time in the league by quite a bit.

Of coarse I don't know for sure but it seems like if Saints had confidence in him they wouldn't be signing these other qbs

AsylumGuido

I have no problem with the Saints drafting or signing a UDFA QB every year. It would be foolish not to if you have the draft choice available. Every good franchise wants a solid low cost backup on the roster. You see, it is not that the Saints have any doubt whatsoever in Brees. They simply want to maximize the value of the backup QB.

Grayson will be ready this year.
