It amazes me how blind some Saints fans are, and I'm the idiot. But it's not a system.

4 years of playing in San Diego he averaged 62%completions, 3031 yards, 20 TDs and 13 ints.
9 years in Nola he averages 67% completions, 4853 yards, 35 TDs and 15 ints.

And if the saints had Ladainian Tomlinson, I'm sure Brees numbers would look similar to what they were in San diego. It's not as black and white as you try to make it seem. Certain QB's fit better in certain systems. Some qb's are asked to do more than others. Many different variables. Let's see the guy after Brees before we go praising Payton's system. Payton has had his play calling stripped from him before.

What word would that be? We wish we had kept him?
Brees last two years at SD were as good as his Saints years. If he were not injured he would have probably never put on a Saints uniform.
People are losing their minds when it comes to Brees. Is he grossly overpaid? Yes. Is he a system QB who needs Sean Payton to be successful? Hell no. You don't do what he has done without being great. The guy is a leader and works his asss off to win.

Shoe fits here. No one can sustain success for 10+ years being a system QB. Defenses are too good.
Having watched him extensively for the past 9 years I can tell you his footwork in the pocket and his ability to look down field while under pressure is exceptional. Yes is arm is average. So what. Every QB has a weakness. The great ones work around their limitations and succeed anyway.

I'm not advocating replacing Brees, I'm saying draft the best QB likely to fit this system for when Brees can't cut it. He has three years to learn under Drew and then he can take over. Petty won't make it to the 3rd round, he is accurate, quick release and the strongest arm in the draft. Brees is 36, no reason to not prepare for the future much like agree bay did with Rogers.

See my post to crazycajun. If you think I want Petty to replace Brees tomorrow you're nuts.

But I also don't think we desperately need an edge rusher. We need Byrd to be healthy so Viccarro can do what he does well. We need help at CB regardless of the browner signing.

If they don't plan on drafting an OL in the first round to protect Brees then I would package some picks to move up in the first for another weapon for Brees and supplement the back half of the draft.

If they don't plan on dealing any picks I'd go after the best CB/LB with the 1st pick and an OL at 31. Hope that Petty is there at 44.

So the Saints are working on 10 straight years in the playoffs? 10 straight NFC South titles. Multiple Super Bowl rings. Defenses HAVE caught up to Brees. They get it. They have no problem giving up 5,000 yards to him if his team goes 8-8. Stats aren't the only thing that matters. To you Brees sycophants it seems to be the only thing.

[MetryCajun]

No argument there. Sound reasoning. Petty at 44 would be sweet. Just not buying your system QB reference to Brees.
Wait, does San Diego still want a word with me?
