He also said winning another Lombardi wouldn't factor into any retirement decision.

Secondly, while Teddy has done a good job of filling in in the interim, he still can't hold Brees' jockstrap. I doubt we can keep him as Brees' backup and hope he finds a starting job elsewhere.
I dunno Guido, I think people are fooling themselves that "because of the new QB rules" QB's are going to keep going until 45-50. Big Ben's arm almost fell off doing what, throwing a pass? Payton Manning went from the top of his game in 2014 and then fell off a cliff in 2015 at 39. Farve had a fantastic 2009, only to fall off the rails in 2010 and retire at 41 and he's one of the toughest SOB's I've seen play QB. Assuming Drew will play the next 5 years at a high level and stay healthy is a pretty big risk. While I'll be the first person to say that Teddy is not Drew he's also sure as hell not Winston, Mariotta, Fitzpatrick, Trubisky, Flacco, Tannehill, Rosen, et cetera. We let Teddy get away, who knows when we get another good QB and in the meantime we waste a friggin' fantastic D, ST, OL, and RBs trying to find one. Teddy can win in our current scenario. We need to make a hard decision AFTER this season.

To many people to pay to afford TB. any more than a 1 year deal again. And then. Teddy will go to crap if Drew is active . U give it to the king right away.

This...that cliff is steep and you don’t know when it’s coming. None of the QBs you listed above thought that it would come upon them that quickly. You have to be very careful with this decision. The draft is definitely a gamble and while it doesn’t seem like it TB is very young and has had pretty good success in the league. If we continue to build a great team around the QB, we don’t need a superstar QB to win.

It’s not just teddy teddy teddy how bout some props for the O-line that finally got it together, a super bowl defense to boot. Teddy will get his pay day with another team. Sorry , drew and Payton are joined at the hip. The chargers are on my list where he could land. Another crustee ole man there. What about New England if egor gives it up this year. They love dealing #1s we won’t trade him in the division . The titans . Just saying. We can’t hold him at 7 mill a year he wants to play and earn.

Looking at these responses remind me of old yeller. Drew will cost more and he is worth it but it's time for teddy to take over after this season. Like Joe Montana left the 40whinners to the chiefs, Brees and Brady both will be playing for different teams next year. I see teddy growing and the team revolving around him this franchise will not die off when brees leave they will become stronger. Plus with Payton developing a bond with teddy and signed a new contract it is likely that Teddy will be the starter next year

Brees has, once again, stated on multiple occasions that 1) he will absolutely play the remainder of his career with the Saints, and 2) has no plans on retiring as long as he has a passion for the game. You are fooling yourself if you think Brees is going anywhere.

In addition, we haven't won the last five games because of Bridgewater. We have won because of the defense. Teddy has done enough to keep us in the games and has minimized mistakes, but he has repeatedly missed the open receiver ... something Brees does not do.

Once again, Peyton Manning's "deep cliff" was based upon a serious neck injury and nerve damage. He also was never the workout demon that Brees is proven to be. This isn't the 1970's. Hell, this isn't even the early 2000's! Whether you choose to believe it or not, with today's new year round training and nutrition athletes in every sport will play longer ... especially at a well protected position like QB.

We have teddy on a one year rental. He'll be playing elsewhere next year I would imagine. Drew is still the future.
