And Bridgewater has improved every week, but he is still not close to Brees in his ability to hit the receivers. And, no, I don't have anywhere near as much confidence in Teddy that I have in Brees. We need every game.

I read one where Payton mentioned it also. And either way, it’s 3 months no matter if you, Payton, Brees, or the surgeon says it.

Glad to see you grasping at straws as to who said it. LOL!

No, not grasping at straws at all. You claimed that you heard Payton say a three month recovery BEFORE Brees' interview today. That is bull. The very first mention of three months came today and that only referred to full healing, not when fully capable of playing.

And there is a significant difference between being "capable" of playing and being at your best. That is the whole point. You need a healthy Drew to make a run at the Superbowl. Being at home is nice, but it didn't help last year. Have some faith the team can win one more game without Drew. That's all.

I have more faith we can win that game with Drew than without. If Payton feels the same then he will play.

Great. You're allowed to feel that way. And the rest of us are allowed to "feel" that it's better to have Drew as healthy as possible for the stretch run. If he's really, truly good to go, of course we'd ALL rather see Drew.
