Saints QB Drew Brees reveals he's returning to practice and hopes to play vs. Cardinals

He didn't sound as positive as I thought he would. Remember he deified the odds with his shoulder injury. He will comeback when he's healthy.

Bridgewater can be the future for another team. Hill or a draft pick for us. We won most of these games in spite of Teddy. Look, the guy is ok. Not what I want.

How many games have we won with Taysom Hill at QB? The guy’s done literally nothing in the NFL as a starting QB and you want him as our future QB?

As far as I'm concerned we don't have Brees' successor on our current roster. I would be shocked if he retires prior to the 2021 season. He still loves the game, can still perform at a higher level than Teddy and most all of the NFL starters, and wants those lifetime records as a legacy.

Teddy isn't spectacular, but I disagree. I don't think we have won in spite of him. I think he has played pretty smart given the situation. Teddy has done, I think, exactly what he has been asked to do.

Yes, I cannot disagree with any of that, but that does not mean that he can hang around on our roster long enough to be our next full-time starter.

Taysom Hill is better as a trick player. His inaccuracy would be glaring as a starter.

How long do you guys think we have with Brees? He declined pretty hard last year and we really don't know how good he's going to be coming back from this injury. Teddy could seriously be our future.

I don't see Brees, Brady, Rodgers or whoever playing into their mid 40s. Brady is a corpse of his former self, looking a lot like 2015 Peyton Manning. THAT is what I dread the longer Brees carries on. These guys decline eventually with age. It just happens.

Seriously?

Sean has proven to me he can win without drew. For a while i thought they went hand and hand. Im not saying drew should retire or teddy be full time starter but the fact is drew will get to a peyton manning point sooner than later, it happens to everyone. The mind is willing but the body says no. But if not teddy we need to look for a replacement in the near future.

Peyton Manning got to the "peyton manning point" because he suffered a serious neck injury. We're talking apples and oranges. Manning and Brees are nothing alike in physicality. Totally different body types. His body is no where close to saying "no", especially with his commitment to staying fit.
