Since Payton was known as a QB guru before we ever hired him as HC, what percentage of Drew's success would you attribute to Coach Sean Payton's coaching and system?

The truth is that no one really knows. Luke freaking McCown looked great in the 1 game Drew missed.

Just throwing that out there.

Actually we have a year and half of stats where Payton didn't call plays. IIRC correctly this happened in 2011 and 2012 (Broken leg and suspension). Pete Carmichael called plays for the rest of that season, and the entire season following. The results in total for those two seasons was over 10,000 yards passing and 89 passing TDs.

I will be sad when Drew Brees is gone. Once in a lifetime player.

I see the Saints somewhat as the 49ers were in the 80's, early 90's...

And if we part with Montana (Brees) to go with a Young (Player to be named), I still like this offense's chances of getting us to the final round of the playoffs...

Sure Brees has been the top passer in the NFL for the past five years, but what has our record been?

At the end of the day, I'm a Saints fan and want to see us hoisting the trophy from Goodell's clutches...

With respect to Drew, I don't give a **** who the quarterback is as long as he's not losing games...

And if it's a middle of the pack passer with a balanced run attack, I'm just as happy as we keep our eye on the prize...

what does Drew or his salary have to do with us not hosting a trophy? Nothing, you're right. Since the dead money costs more than his salary average- I am pointing at that. Drew is the tenth highest paid QB in the league. He's not stopping us, but bad drafts and stupid contracts are. Drew isn't one of those problems, pay the ****ing man
