sammymvpknight Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 This is yet another Saints topic, and for that I apologize. But it's a decision that will likely have league wide ramifications, so in a way I do think that it is should be a general discussion and not to mention that I'm interested in non-Saints fans opinion on the matter. There is a poll attached. Drew BreesPROs: - A New Orleans legend. He is the heart and soul of the Saints team, was a source a inspiration after Katrina, and was largely responsible for the Saints only Super Bowl and success over the past decade - Very accurate, has set records for completion percentage and continues to be highly efficient - Unbelievable rapport with Michael Thomas, who is among the most important offensive weapons in the NFL - In regards to preparation, very few if any current in the NFL can match Drew Brees. His work ethic is contagious. Locker room leader. CONs: - Will be 41 years old next season - Has also shown drop off in play, including: reduced ability to connect on long passes, increased difficulty with pocket mobility, and will not scramble - Has an injury history including: right labral repair (2005) and right thumb UCL repair (2019) Teddy BridgewaterPROs: - Did a good job in relief of Drew Brees this season, going 5-0 - Very accurate and efficient with his passes, probably the least turnover prone - Good rapport with Michael Thomas - Very good locker room guy, though without the credibility of Drew Brees - Youngest of the three QBs, will be 28 years old next yearCONs: - Upside may be limited, as he has not demonstrated to be much of an over-the-top passer - Though he may be more mobile than Brees, he does have limited mobility - Has an injury history including: wrist fracture (2012), concussion (2015), Knee dislocation, complete ACL tear, and other structure knee damage (2016) Taysom HillPROs: - One of the great football players in NFL, who's versatility may be unmatched in modern football - Electric runner who can outrun defenders to the edge and also bulldoze them to get additional yardage - Strongest arm of the three QBs - Good locker room guy CONs: - Has limited proven ability as a drop back QB, and hasn't been asked to go through multiple reads very often - Has not had to demonstrate touch passes - Will be 31 years old next season - Injury history in college that includes: LCL tear (2012), broken leg (2014), Lisfranc injury (2015), elbow injury (2016) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedTheClock Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Drew Brees. Unless the Saints are rebuilding, which they aren't, you have to keep Brees. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolsurebro Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Brees is still the man. Mobility-wise, he is a cheetah compared to Brady. He can still throw remarkably well. No reason to move on from something until it's proven to be a problem, which I don't think Brees is at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnifico Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Drew Brees or suck enough to get one of the Top QBs in 2021. Teddy and Taysom are taking you nowhere. Even if Taysom is fun as hell and one of the only Saints who showed up against the Vikings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Brees will and should be the Saints QB in 2020. Anything else is getting cute and overthinking it. 2021? That’s where things get interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep Brees for 2 years, develop a true replacement in that time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Easily Brees. Been reading some things that imply Taysom could/should be a potential starter either in NO or elsewhere....no. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hukos Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 If the Saints don't bring back Brees, they deserve a whole lot of bad things to happen to their organization. Brees is still really good. The only knock on him is he doesn't have the same moonball ability he once did, but his accuracy, pocket presence, and decision making is really good.

El Ramster Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 You know what you’re getting with Brees.. a great regular season QB and a playoff choker. Rather roll the dice with Teddy.. I’m not a believer in the gimmick QB, he’ll have his limitations.. I honestly think the could have won the SB with Teddy.. That offense was rolling..

SmittyBacall Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Am I out of the Saints loop or is the obvious answer Drew Brees? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
