Re: Pay The Man
I'm all for paying him again. He's still playing great and I don't think there will be a substantial drop off anytime soon. Those who think he's done just don't know football as well as they think they do.

Re: Pay The Man
I don't think many people would say he's done. A drop off and having nothing left, like Peyton a couple of years ago, are different things.
I would not expect a teammate to talk crap about his QB, but I'm sure there is still plenty of merit to what Zach is saying. Still don't see him as the same player he used to be. Pay up whatever you want, Saints. It'll be no skin off my back either way. |

Re: Pay The Man
Just watched the Washington game on NFL network ... If you can watch Brees during the last 5 minutes that pushed the game into overtime for the win ... And still not support "Pay The Man" ...

Re: Pay The Man
Why does it take til the last five minutes to show up against a 7-9 team? These are the kinds of things I've never bought into. There was a time when Brees was consistently great in the two minute drill of either half. The last couple of years have been hit or miss. I don't see that as an intangible thing, but rather a very tangible thing.

Re: Pay The Man
There is no question Drew Brees is an elite QB in the NFL. Just hope the price doesn't go too high, the Saints still have a defense they are trying to build into greatness. I am afraid it will be difficult to keep adding to the team when guys like Garoppolo and Cousins are likely to push $30 million per year.

Re: Pay The Man
When Brees had the prolonged negotiations and got the big payday we lost a key o-lineman. Last time he took a team-friendly salary, and now we are in good shape financially, and of course as a team.
No one can begrudge anyone for going for what they feel they're worth. However , as a middle class earner, it's fair to ask, 'how much more does he need?' |
