Agreed Nicks wasn't our downfall, but there was a significant drop-off from Nicks to Grubbs.
That too is nothing but speculation. But for argument's sake, let's say it is true. Let's say they did offer him a deal that averaged the highest ever, but was structured in such a manner that not much of that was guaranteed and could only be realized on the back end. That's sounds pretty familiar to Loomis type deals, no? It sounds good to someone that doesn't truly understand contracts, but isn't worth a crap as a secure deal in today's game. Gullible media members and their equally unknowing fanbase would eat it up.
And, yes, a significant drop-off, but nothing at all worth vilifying Brees over, especially when it was not his fault whatsoever.
