Absolutely nothing.

DB#9 has led this team to multiple losing record seasons, 5 to be exact, along with one .500 season, since 2006. His conference championship record is a paltry 1-2, and a very good argument can be made that the 2009 NFC championship game should have been a loss. iirc (I was at that game, first year of season tickets), Minn fumbled the ball 6 times, losing three of those fumbles, along with throwing two interceptions. The fact that we, the home team, needed overtime to win that game isn’t exactly a positive in my book.

The idea that the Saints are a 6 win team, at best, without DB#9 makes little sense. And it devalues every other player who is busting their chops week in/week out. This is a very good team, when healthy, even with DB#9 on the sidelines.

Everyone has there opinion it’s a good one, but I’ll take Brees one more. And yes 6-10 is a bad assessment Payton would have the next one ready for better than that.

I’m sorry, but with all due respect I completely disagree. During some of these 6-10 seasons you complain about Drew was 5,000 yards passing and the best QB in the league while the D was setting records for being historically bad. Looking back at past years and trying to blame the QB play for not getting a second SB title is way off.

R Wilson is still trying to win his second SB. So is Rogers. Manning had to ride the coattails of a historically good D to get his second. Stafford, Ryan, Newton, Rivers, Romo, Smith and dozens of first round draft pick QBs never got even one.

The question is how is the best way to move forward. Even if we ignore the money/cap situation (A silly thing to do) the way Brees has performed this year considering the massive amount of injuries the Saints have had to endure to the offensive skill positions tells me that he is still able to perform at
A level that matches or exceeds most other QBs that would be a available in the off season.

And those 2 losses were the Rams game that was a Fix from the ref ls and at Chicago in his first year with the Saints. Was the Minnesota Miracle his fault too? How about the Niner drive where V Davis caught the game winner with practically no time left. I guess Beast Mode was his bad too.

Agreed, Brees is pretty much the only reason that this team even won 7 games when he was given the #32 ranked D, year after year.

He was the lone bright spot for many years.

Drew is the starting QB because he IS THE BEST QB ON THE ROSTER. If Drew returns for the 2021 season with Hill and Winston on the roster he will still be the best QB on the team going into preseason... Bet against Drew ... not happening here.

I would absolutely love Dak in NOLA!!!!

I don’t think Dak’s going anywhere other than Dallas, but I agree!

I watch my Saints to be entertained. They play the games to be entertainers. The games are televised as entertainment. I was FAR more entertained when the Saints went 13-3 last year than any year when they went 6-10. To me THAT is a huge difference. Brees led teams have had double digit wins nine times, a feat which had only been accomplished FIVE times before in Saints history. And, yes, I know the first 11 years of our history they only played 14 games. I also know they never won more than five of those 14 games over that stretch.

Dallas fans don't deserve him, but I think you're right. He's Jerry's guy apparently.
