Don't get me wrong, I want Brees back, but for the love of God DO NOT bring him back too early and risk further damage.

I was hoping he might make it back in time for Chicago....

Right.

Especially while we are winning but on the flip side, the Cardinals would be a perfect time to return and "shake off the rust". The Redbirds are bad.

Bottom line is that Brees will return when Team Doctors give him the green light to do so.

And the FailClowns aren't (bad)? Two extra weeks off and the rest of the team coming off a bye is the perfect re-entry point for Brees.

SFIAH

This is true. Especially since Teddy is playing with more confidence.

At the end of the day, Brees comes back when he's medically cleared to do so.

Meanwhile, I'll continue to ride that Bridgewater winning streak as long as possible.

Every week Brees isn't healthy is another week the Saints could be down to one QB in the blink of an eye.

Re: New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees Looking to Return in Week 8 Against Arizona Cardinals
 

According to the medical experts Brees should be at 100% within six weeks post surgery. That means he is no more likely to get reinjured than any other player because he will be at 100%.

Get it?

Re: New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees Looking to Return in Week 8 Against Arizona Cardinals
 

Being medically "cleared" and being 100% aren't always the same thing. He might be ready enough to play by week 8, but not 100%. In which case, why rush him back against a bad team, with the bye week immediately following?

Now, if he IS 100% by week 8, then there is no debate. Trying to predict exactly how healthy someone is going to be at an exact moment is not an exact science... To be exact.
