The real silver lining in this Drew Brees injury

Brees is not playing to 44 and neither is Brady. They're both going to decline hard as time goes on if they keep playing. We are starting to see it happen. Brady took a hard decline last year but it didn't matter since the Pats defense was carrying that team and they had adjusted their offensive scheme to not rely on a 41 year old QB to throw down field every game.

IMO the silver lining is that we can have a well rested Brees come back and make a deep playoff run. I have been convinced for a few years now if we can get one more SB win, he'll retire with that. It's not about records or longevity. He wants another ring.
