Me too but I think Jerry and Stephen will make it right on contract negotiations this off season.

He was having a MVP type season before the unfortunate injury.

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.

AG, you’re a DB#9 homer, first and foremost. We all saw it in game chats when ppl call him out for his bad play, even getting so upset to quit the chat..., while simultaneously being hyper-critical of each and every play with someone under center who isn’t DB#9.

Me personally, I don’t care who’s under center. Truly don’t. I just want to see results, and those results should be championships, NOT individual records (meaningless to me). Nothing wrong with holding DB#9’s jock strap for him, if that makes you..., and others happy. But, me personally, I hold nobody’s jock strap. Every player is replaceable, so is every coach.

“Entertainment” is subjective. Super Bowl ring collection isn’t.

Unless my understanding is very wrong the Saints are very limited in their QB options next year based on Brees current contract. Options are

1) He plays as QB next year under current or renegotiated deal.
2) A new QB drafted and playing under a Rookie contract is the starter.
3) Taysom Hill
4) Winston or some other QB who will be willing to play for about 5 million dollars because Brees counts 20 + mill against the cap even if he isn’t on the team.

If anything short of a Super Bowl win is the do all end all for you I feel sorry for you then. Maybe you would have been happier if you had become a Patriots fan 20 years ago. For myself, Brees was the best thing that ever happened to the Saints had we won the Lombardi or not. But, first and foremost, I am a Saints fan. I have been since the beginning and win, lose or draw I'll be there watching and enjoying each game. Watching individual records is part of that enjoyment. If that doesn't blow your skirt up then that is your prerogative.

And, by the way, his name is Drew Brees. But, when winning is more important than player loyalty, I get it.

That's pretty much it.

Rereading this brought up more response. First, I made the mistake to join a chat a few weeks back. I knew that was a mistake going in from past experience some time back. Those chats are are filled with b!tching and moaning about this and that. In other words, being "hyper-critical", which is apparently fine unless I am the one attempting to engage in the same behavior. Go figure.

But, don't worry, I'll be back to avoiding those b!tch and moan sessions again moving foreword.

Secondly, if you have access to Drew's jockstrap could you have him autograph it and send it to me? I'm sure I can find a place on my Saints Shrine.

Are you talking about those loosing season where Peyton was suspended and we were coached by amateurs or the ones where we set records in defensive futility?

AsylumGuido · 01-04-2021, 06:24 PM

What y'all are looking past is that Payton and Brees have been attached at the hip through the entire Saints run of success. When Brees calls it quits I can easily see Payton doing the same soon thereafter, albeit moving to another franchise. Payton to Dallas when Brees retires? I can see that happen.

Yea; in 2022 or 2023. Brees is the best option Saints have to get into
the year end playoffs for the next year or two.
