Brees better make up his mind and stop holding this team hostage, we have 2 quarterbacks that can win

And what two QB's would that be? The one that was carried by the defense or the one that passed six times for three completions and a total of 55 yards?
Brees isn't holding anyone hostage. Take a frickin' xanax and chill out.

I'm not convinced we would be winning with Taysom Hill starting under center. But we were 5-0 with Bridgewater and we had a balanced offense during that time span.

That balance went entirely out the window when Brees came back and we had to start chasing records for him to pass Manning on the all time TD record.

These last 3 playoff exits have been brutal. We averaged 30+ points in the regular season the last two years, yet couldn't score more than 23 points in the playoffs, and all these games with the exception of the 2017 Vikings game were at home where we are supposedly invincible.


Between 2009 to 2011 (Brees' prime) we averaged 36 points in the playoffs and that is including losses to Seattle and SF.

The way I see it; Brees has all the records he wanted and he won a SB. He will never have to face the scrutiny or absurd BS that guys like Dan Marino and Jim Kelly have to face with being labeled "playoff chokers" because at the end of the day, he has a ring. That one ring is why few people in the media criticize Aaron Rodgers when he stinks it up in the playoffs. Ring gives you the benefit of the doubt no matter what.

Brees will always be a god to us. If he retires now, he ends on a higher note than he would going another year and us losing in the first round of the playoffs again.
