Re: Sean Payton: I’m a dummy, I don’t know if this is Drew Brees’ last year
 

Believing the follow up to the original makes 0 sense outside of choosing to believe one over the other because it is what you want to be true.

His statement was clear, Drew's last year and we are ready to move on. Now there are three possible true meanings from this. 1. He means it. He sees decline and is ready for a new QB who gives him multiple uses. 2. He is saying it to keep TH motivated that, yeah, hang in there you're day is coming. 3. He is motivating Drew by questioning him and basically saying yeah he's done after this year.

Any of the three are as viable as the next, but his statement wasnt an awww shucks I'm a dummy. It had plenty of meaning.

I tend to think he is hinting to Drew the time is coming and at the same time motivating him for the season. I genuinely believe he sees TH as a starter and wants to use him. And I 100 percent he believes Drew's best days are behind him.

My spider senses tell me TH is not that dude. Either the Saints will draft that guy later this month, or he's currently on another roster.

Until the Saints staff remove Taysom from special teams duty all together, I just don't see him as the #2 or heir apparent to #9.

Sean would make a great politician though :D.

He is a great motivator. I havent thought he was the heir either...I just dont think he is accurate enough. Time will tell.

I love Sean but I don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth when he talks to the media. Bill Parcells was the same way and was also his mentor.

Re: Sean Payton: I’m a dummy, I don’t know if this is Drew Brees’ last year
 

Here's the question to sincerely ask yourself...it is 2009 and we have TH on the roster, you really believe we are pulling Drew from plays? No way. It is telling and pretending that doesnt matter is exactly that, pretending

Jeaux Burreaux on his second contract?

Re: Sean Payton: I’m a dummy, I don’t know if this is Drew Brees’ last year
 

Wishful thinking ;).

The Bungaloos will probably hold him (see A.J. Green) captive.

Likey Mclike Like.

Remember that outside linebacker we signed that Dallas released like back in 2014 or 2015. Payton said he had a knee bruise and he'd be fine. Next day hes on IR with an ACL tear...

Re: Sean Payton: I’m a dummy, I don’t know if this is Drew Brees’ last year
 

Brees is amazing and will always be the best player weve ever had and it's not meant as a criticism of Brees, he's just getting older and is not as dynamic and dominant as he once was.

The funny thing is, NFL Network is streaming games from years ago and you can see the difference in Brees' game. The way he navigates and steps up in the pocket was pretty incredible to watch, he had zip on his passes and could throw deep.

Not bashing Brees, just being a realist.

Theres a reason his Interception numbers are down, because he doesnt throw deep anymore. When he tries to throw deep, it gets picked - 2018 playoffs vs eagles, 2019 playoffs vs Vikings.

TH adds something to the field that's needed, because Brees isnt the player he once was. Defenses dont respect our deep passes, because we cant make them.
