I have three words for anyone thinking that moving on from Brees is a good idea:

Billy Joe Tolliver

Let's just remember that QBing at the levels we've seen the last 15 years is going to be difficult to recreate once Brees moves on.

Speaking of Billy Joe Tolliver, he's a real cool guy. I met him and got to speak with him on several occasions when he was QB of the CFL Shreveport Pirates back in 1995. I was Admiral of the Pirates Armada (ie. president of the active fan club) and first met him at the very first practice. He spotted my son on the sideline and came over and asked him how he was doing and asked him if he was wearing sunscreen. He said that, "us redheads have got to watch out for this sun out here." My boy got a kick out of that.

I was actually excited when he signed with the Saints in 1998. But, he certainly wasn't a Drew Brees and there have only been a few at Drew Brees' level in the entire history of the NFL. It is entirely plausible that we never get to see another QB of Brees' caliber play for the Saints again. Let that sink in people.

I just brought up the Billy Joe years in another thread. I loathed those guys.
