Is this Brees' Last Year at QB?

Even if Brees' skills are diminishing, they are still better than Winston's.
Just because you can throw a football 60 yards doesn't mean you're better.
See Jamarcus Russel as the perfect example. 30 and 30 are good stats if you're a baseball player, not a starting QB.
Winston is here because he was cheap and has starter experience in case the worse happens again. He isn't the future.

Agreed, But personally, I’m comparing this DB#9 to ten years ago DB#9. And the debate doesn’t seem to be whether this DB#9 is better than Russell, or anybody else..., it’s very simply if this DB#9 has enough left in the tank to run an extremely potent and high powered offense. If the answer is that he can’t, to a championship level, then it may very well be time to discuss life without the quadragenarian.

Jameis Winston is a far better QB than you’re giving him credit for.

He definitely has the talent to be a very successful NFL QB. I would like to see him get some time to prove it, on the field, in this system with our players. Entire series’s, not QB by committee and not “gadgety” plays.

He's even more talented than most all of critics give him credit for. The issue ins't talent - it's consistency.

He came from an organization that lacked consistency in the front office. I think you’ll see a better product now that he’s with an organization that has direction and continuity.

IF he ever gets the opportunity to get on the field. As long as he remains third on the depth chart he won't get any playing time. It would take an injury for that to occur and I doubt think any of us want to see that.

If/When the game is 31-3, going in to the 4th quarter, or anytime Coach feels the game is solidly in hand, then pull DB#9, let the guy who actually needs the snaps run a full quarter, two or three series in a row.

He'll probably want Brees to keep padding his Hall of Fame resume' instead. Just saying ...

I’m sold on this being Brees’ last year, so I think we’ll see a whole lot of him in 2021. I hold my breath every time Brees drops back now. I used to have so much confidence and faith in him. It’s almost all gone.
