Re: We don't even know it's that bad.
I seriously think there are players that or worth every dime they make. However that hurts teams.
A team has to decided ok we need to trade so and so because we can't afford him lets find someone serviceable to fill his shows. Why having a great QB is a great thing... when you don't have a line to protect him or a running game to help him... yikes. that 20 million you put in your QB's pocket is going to waste. I think we could be just as we have been if not better off trading Bree's and building the lines... YEAH I SAID IT. He isn't getting younger and we haven't put a team around him to win NOW. Which is what he needs. Going to be curious how Bree's ends his career. |

Re: We don't even know it's that bad.
Honestly, not sure but if we actually build a stout D and get a strong O-line with a good run game things could work out pretty well. Brees isn't going to play at a high level forever and sooner than later he will leave and so will his era. I'm not expecting a new qb to put up # like Brees but there have been alot of contenders and SB championship teams with lesser qb over the years. I just don't see us resigning him at top qb scale and stay in the hunt.

Re: We don't even know it's that bad.
What are you going to do with yourself when he retires? You poo poo the idea of him leaving all the time. I'm not saying he's leaving after this year... But some day he is. If we're at the point that there is NO chance without Brees, then that should tell you something about this organization. You don't know what's going to happen, nothing you have said about the negotiations has come to pass. But I guess whatever happens, and when that happens, you will tell everyone you knew it.
There is going to be a replacement for Drew WHENEVER he leaves or retires. You know how I know that? Because there is no other choice. I get tired of reading the pompous "who are we gonna replace him with, hahahaha". The answer is whoever it takes. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

My response to which you referred was talking about this coming off-season. That is laughable thinking Brees could be replaced with what is going to be available. |
