If we're up by 2 scores and the opponent ain't that great vs the run, let Taysom take over and ground and pound (albeit with Taysom on orders to focus on covering up the ball). If it's a 2-minute drill, then obviously Brees has to be in.
Brees is at his very best when in a rhythm. In fact, he may be the best ever. When he returns he needs to be in there for virtually every play. As the old saying goes, if you have two QB's then you have none.

I somewhat disagree, because Drew and Taysom have a really great rapport and, unlike most other 2 QB situations, our locker room is strong and players love both QB's regardless out of who is out there. Drew is like our Phillips head screwdriver and yes will want him out there in most situations, but occasionally that flat-head screwdriver (Taysom) sure comes in handy.

I'm not talking about either of them having a personal issue with sharing time. I speaking of in game flow. Pulling Brees for a play has more often than not resulted in an interruption of flow and frequently killed drives. Sure, Taysom has had some big gainers, but we could have just as easily moved the ball with Brees' arm as with Taysom's legs. A novelty play here or there, fine. But anything more would in my opinion be detrimental.

Remember Troy Aikman bemoaning the substitution of Hill for Brees against the Vikings Then hitting Harris for a 50 yd gain? Then blocked for the TD by Kamara on the next play. Taysom Hill kept the Saints "in the game" against the Vikings.
