Re: I Want Drew Brees Back IF.......
Does it not bother anyone else that we have to sub in a different QB to throw a good deep ball? Then Brees starts pressing because of his ultra-competitive nature and he does what we saw yesterday.

Re: I Want Drew Brees Back IF.......
I hate to agree. I love Drew Brees. I know we all do. I'm not going to be angry if we bring him back, but I agree, I think it's time. We're going to have to move on, and we have two guys in the building we can go to.

Re: I Want Drew Brees Back IF.......
Most Saints fans will not be on board with it, but sometimes a franchise’s greatest player moves on. It’ll be ok. I agree with you.

I'm now concerned that the end of a HOF career is very near. He's slowly turning into Chad Pennington. It makes me sad |

Re: I Want Drew Brees Back IF.......
Brees is the greatest Saint to have ever played, but his time is coming. Nothing wrong with that, I dont hate him as a player, he's done amazing things for this organisation - but yesterday was one of the first times I've ever wanted Taysom to stay in instead of Brees.
Like already stated, anything over 30-40 yards and Brees' cannot execute it, not to mention the moment he gets a clean pocket he launches it into double coverage. Paytons play calling is pretty suspect though too. Completely abandoning the run when Murray was running hard and the Vikings D knew all we did was pass. With 3 consecutive playoff defeats and 6 playoff losses in the last decade, I think some major changes are necessary. I think some of the underperforming players need to find new homes, specifically; Peat, Warford, Ginn, Trequan, PJ and Marcus Williams to mention a few. |

Re: I Want Drew Brees Back IF.......
Well, this is awkward. I think almost everyone can see the writing is on the wall - it's going to be damn-near impossible to get by with a slow pocket QB in this league. The athleticism/talent of pass rushers and linebackers keep getting better and Offensive lines, even the good ones, just can't match it. The league collectively is getting play-action happy, running more, using multiple tight-ends sets - anything to keep their QB from getting bombarded. The real evidence comes in the sheer number of QB injuries this year.
This leaves us, the Pats and Chargers, at the minimum, in very awkward spots with our prestigious older franchise QB's. It seems ridiculous to show them the door after all they've done on and off the field. It seems ridiculous to keep using a square peg in what is now a round hole league where QB mobility is becoming vital. It seems ridiculous to think of all-time greats being relegated to playing in the XFL. It seems ridiculous to run a 2-QB system with Brees and Taysom evenly splitting the workload (even though I suggested it yesterday). We could double down on Brees OR give our offense a complete makeover. Neither is going to be easy from the look of it. |

Re: I Want Drew Brees Back IF.......
I don’t know of anyone else available that would be any better next year. Our draft sucks and good QBs aren’t exactly falling off trees. I think Brees has another year in him. It’s not his play that’s dropping off, it’s his health. Something wasn’t right yesterday. Hill was in as a passer more than he had been all season and I think it was out of necessity because Brees got dinged up somehow.
I would like to see us use a two QB system for one year and see if we can steal a SB that way. Not a long term solution but may work for a year. The following year TH can take over |

Re: I Want Drew Brees Back IF.......
I think you guys need some Billy Joes, or Jim Everetts, or for those obsessed with fast legs, how bout a nice, dumb Vince Young? John Fourcade could run fast, too. How about a noodle-armed Steve Walsh?
Ya Spoilt. Cam Newton, and his legs couldnt escape the Broncos. Nobody can play QB, when your line looks like silly putty. But you want a runner. These are NFL defenses, honey. You're not playing Vanderbilt. Or Prairie View. You beat em out of the pocket using your arm and your mind. FAct time: We went 3-13 the last year we had anyone besides Brees at QB. An aged Brees is still the best. He's still accurate. 90% of QB is half mental. He's smarter than anyone else who plays the game, including Brady. And he can still outrun yall's Pillsbury asses, and throw the out pattern, which you cant do. Yes, he makes too much money, unless he can block for himself. They all make too much money. But open up a window. Some of yall need some air. (Lets call my fav QB, Bobby out of retirement) |
