Drew Brees

leilung · 12-06-2016, 10:52 AM

Reality check: Can we expect more or less games like this out of Brees in the coming season? Would anyone be hesitant about seeing what we could get for Ingram if he dropped 3 turnovers in a single game (which could have been 4 if the fumble weren't recovered)?

No 'yeah but' excuses anymore. The team should be in rebuild mode starting with a QB that can be the franchise for the next 10 years and not waiting for another 2009 to happen again...'cause it ain't!

Love him, but for the good of the franchise, we have to move on!

At the end of the game stats were padded, I never count those. Meaningless. This entire team dropped the ball from the top to bottom, I was partiuarly got amused about the blitz that ended up as a Lions touchdown, kind of broke our backs but it reassured me of Allens calls and his D. There has been a few low score game that Brees hasn't looked good against the better D's this season but looked great othertimes. As far as rebuilding with another qb. I would have to agree, with the Saints FO and always trying patchwork D's with basically the same D coaches and staff I think we waisted our best run with Brees never having a D to speak of.

It may take 15 years to find another QB that could be a franchise QB for ten years. I guess we could pick one off that magic QB tree.

Have to agree here. People routinely talk about our next franchise QB, but can anyone say for sure where or when we might find him? By my count we've had 2 truly great QB's in our entire history, and they were separated by decades. Maybe we get lucky and find that next guy sooner than later, but in the meantime I think you ride your future HOF QB until he can't go anymore.

Well said sir! Well said.
