I've been wondering if they will put him on IR even if he needs it. Why not make teams prepare for Drew and Winston? Keep them busy and worried preparing for two different scenarios.

Not smart IMHO. If he comes back before the injury is completely healed, gets reinjured and is out for the playoffs, that's a catastropic situation. Take 4 weeks off, heal completely, and come back for the KC game at home.

I'm not sure IR matters. Thomas' injury ended up being a lot longer and the team never put him on IR.

+1. Deuce/Ellias Williams mentioned that on Thomas as they don't really believe he is 100% healthy either.

No need to rush Brees back. There is entirely too much football left to be played. The duo of JW and Hill are more than capable of winning 2, maybe even 3 of the upcoming games.

The next four weeks is Falcons, Broncos, Falcons, Eagles. I hope that he'll be ready for the Eagles.

Then the Saints play the Chiefs, Vikings, Panthers.

Most importantly I hope tha Ruiz is living at the Saints facility learning.

Regardless of what happens next, I just want to say that I think we have been truly blessed being able to say Brees is our QB for the last 14/15 years.

I've never seen someone work harder to be out there for his team and literally give his heart and soul every gameday. He's played through so many injuries, probably a ton we weren't even aware of.

Brees has had to endure some horrendous years with the worst defenses in NFL history on more than 3 occasions, yet he never threw anyone under the bus, it was "what can I do better" every time, even when he was near perfect most gamedays.

I love the idea of being able to take deep shots in this offense, but Brees is the main reason we are even relevant at this point and I wouldn't trade that for the world. Model of consistency year to year.

This team owes him a Lombardi or 3 for everything he's done.

2 weeks with a Brady bye week week 13 gives Brees a chance to not let Brady run away with the record.

How much we win and how much the Bucs lose (ummm, go Rams?) will obviously play a role on how conservative we get to be in bringing Brees back.

I broke a rib and sternum last year. It took a good month just for the pain to subside. And I had to sleep in a lounge chair for three weeks, it was so painful to just simply get up from the chair.

If Drew comes back in a couple of weeks, he's getting some new tech medical assistance. Maybe he is. But I doubt it. Let him completely heal, about 4 to 6 weeks.

Yeah, but you're older than Drew!
