Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

Looks like he'll be back after three games then.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

Seems like last year when Drew went down, the team, specifically the D rose to the challenge and started playing really well as a team. I didn't include Teddy two gloves only because I've always been a fan and felt he would hold his own. Actually, seemed like the entire team rose to the challenge. I would expect the same here. Heal up 9, see ya for the home stretch.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

That boy’s career is over. What a massively regrettable decision coming back must be for him. Be called an ignorant racist by his teammates, play in front of 0 fans, break half your ribs... Lawd that ain’t no epitaph. Poor bastard.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

Do they sign another QB just to have one on the roster? Or do they have one I am not aware of?

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

Y'all are a joke!

And, no, stickman. He'll be back after three games. They have players that can be put in if the very worst happened and both other QB's got injured.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

This just in, Ruiz is named QB 3

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

Where’s the lie AG? Brees has looked miserable all season. He’s done.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

Ruiz doesn’t get all the blame. Maybe 55% of it. One of the things that Drew does best is step up in the pocket when things around him begin to collapse. Couldn’t step up on the play because our dear friend Peat got pushed back in Drew’s lap.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

Correct.

Saints signed QB Trevor Semian today.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

What have you been watching? He's looked like one of the best QB's in the league today. Do you ever watch any football? He runs the Payton offense better than any other could.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

I liked him 2 years ago till he got on some bad teams that ruined him.

Of course my friend. He’s always incredible. He just looks unhappy to me.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

I can definitely agree here, he doesn't look his normal self.

He looks a little empty at times and I'm not used to seeing him that way.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

He doesn't look any different tome than he ever has. Brees has never been a "rah-rah" type of guy on the sideline. Show me pictures of him smiling and having fun in the past. When the ball is kicked he has always pure business until the final second ticks off the clock. He has always been intense during the games. After games are different. After the second Buc's game he was grinning from ear to ear in the post game interview. Two weeks ago he was on NFL Radio being interviewed by Brett Favre and he said he's having as much fun playing the game now as he ever has.

I just don't get this perception that he's "empty" or "unhappy". Where are y'all picking that up? Understandably he was disappointed to have gotten injured in the last game. There's no place he would have rather been than out on the field at that time and not stuck on the sideline.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

It is the final chapter. But, the story is FAR from written.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

They were talking about the whole Taysom/Winston starting deal yesterday on Moving the Chains and they both said that they felt this being Brees' final season was far from being a given. They said he's still a top five QB in the league and may even place him at #4 in front of Brady.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

Some people don't see it. I definitely see it. He looks hollow and empty at times rather than his usual laser focus. He doesn't have that same eye of the tiger anymore. It's been a rough year and it's telling on him!:(

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

Sorry. I just don't see it and I watch every minute of every game intently. It looks every bit as focus as he ever has. Show me a shot of him looking hollow and empty. Besides, it's been a rough year on everybody, but how is leading the NFC in record tough? Once again, show me where he is hollow and empty.

I still think you are projecting how you would handle things on him expecting the same. Don't forget that this is the same guy that has overcome odds time and time again in his career.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

That's the thing I noticed too.

There were times in years past when you'd be able to see what kind of game Brees would have because he'd just have that insanely intense look on his face pregame, the defenses never stood a chance - it was normally prior to Monday Night Football games.

The many times the camera is on Drew pregame or during the game this year, there's just kind of like an empty, worried look in his eyes. Thats what it looks like to me anyway.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

If it that obvious to you then there should be pictures of it, right? I've not seen anything different in his look - pregame, in game, or postgame. Can you show me examples of what you are talking about? I'm glued to every game with zero distractions ... unless I am at the game. I watch all other games at home alone in my living room with the broadcast on the big screen. My wife watches in one of the other rooms.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

We can’t show you anything AG. It’s all good brother. Nobody’s sitting around taking pics of their tv’s for those moments when they can prove you wrong. It’s fine bro.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

It's called google images, Chris. I'm sure you can find it if it happened. But the mind plays tricks. You believe what you want to believe. It would be amazing if you could really read his emotions accurately in a four second camera scan.

I choose to not look for the negative in people. You can always see what you believe it is if you want, but it is unfair. Never read a book by its cover. That isn't a profound saying for nothing, right?

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

I don’t believe in anything but the Saints winning brother.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

Bet he sits around taking pics of his TV to prove himself right though.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

I think that most of us see a change in his demeanor. I'm pretty frustrated with the way some of this season has gone for him so I imagine that he's angry and disappointed with how things have gone as well.

Oh well. The Saints have a great record so far so at least they'll probably make the playoffs. Knowing Brees, watching other dudes play QB because he can't will likely drive him to anger and the fire might return.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

Drew has been hurt two times now in two years. And Brady's fine. Maybe Drew isn't as in shape as people think. Working out and eating right is not enough. At his age, his T levels have declined and he needs to get on TRT. Idk how Brady's putting up the points he's doing but either TB's oline is much better or Brady's done something.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

Yeah. That's why Brady was able to rack up a whopping 6 points on the Saints last game, huh?

:dunce:

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

I’m not going to pretend to know what is in his head, I can only speculate based on what he has said and from what I know of people with similar jobs (living on the edge so to speak/high risk).

Im not sure he regrets anything or that any of that matters to him, and hopefully that doesn’t matter to you either. White boys from the south are called ignorant racists from birth, these days with social media’s white privilege BS, it doesn’t even register... No fans in the stands, that is everyone in this league presently and doesn’t speak to Drews performance or lack there of does it? I mean if Archie Manning himself were under center today, the attendance would be the same.

As far as injury... he thought his career was over 15 years ago when his shoulder was injured and I’m willing to bet he mumbled more than once to him self something along the lines of ‘dear Lord, if I can only get back on that field’.

Police, soldiers, boxers, pilots, etc... they are all aware that the next day at work could be their last bit they don’t dwell on it or think about it. They don’t think about going out, they just think about going..

Does anyone think Sugar Ray Leonard was less of a fighter because he lost his last one? Chavez’s latter years? If Farve wouldn’t have sent pictures of his junk he would have been untarnished as well lol. :bng:

For $25MM, you can break all my ribs and call me what ever you like. :)

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

One tough Cookie in my book playing as long as he did.

Drew Brees Has 11 Rib Fractures After Follow-Up Scans. Doctors are encouraged by his progress,
specifically improvement in lung function and the continued dissipation of his collapsed lung.
From SI

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

11 rib fractures and still lead 2 scoring drives, one with a passing TD.

Drew is old school, can't ever question his toughness.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

I'm not looking for it but that's what I see too.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

That's what you think. You have told me that you would have never forgiven Malcolm Jenkins if you were Brees. Well, he has and you aren't. You are projecting how you would feel in his shoes. Let Brees be his own man.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

Just an fyi ...

Larry Holder of the Athletic stated today on a radio show that the Saints are expecting Brees to realistically return in week 15.

By the way, week 15 is when the Chiefs/Patrick Mahommes come to town.

Timestamp starting at 8:55 on Brees ...

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

THey need to start Jameis now

Sean has his unique toy Taysom
And the media darlings love him

Winston has proven himself in this league
And needs the reps

If we are still a game ahead keep Drew out another week or two

Jameis came in suddenly in the SF game
Moved the ball when Sean allowed him to

Had some timing issues with Thomas
And threw away a goal line corner route to avoid a long pick 6
At 2:20

Please - bring in winston and the occasional Taysom

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

I think the Jameis ship has sailed one way or the other. Either the Saints and Jameis have a handshake agreement to give him a fair shot at being the starter next year (or whenever Brees retires), or Payton has already decided that he's riding with Hill. The old switcher-roo with Winston now just doesn't make any sense.

SFIAH

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

I’m not saying it is going to happen, but it would be some major trickeration if Payton started Jameis instead of Taysom after the Falcons spent all week prepping to play TH.

Re: Drew Brees to IR
 

Sean has said that Taysom was always the 2nd in line, the only reason Jameis came in vs 49ers was because Sean didn't have the time to redesign the offense to fit Taysom within 15 minutes at half time.

Taysom isn't perfect at the moment, but we are 2-0 which is all we can ask for. Jameis is a turnover machine, always has been.
