Pffffft. This thread isn't near long enough for that conversation.

When bwood (15) gets this flustered, I just want to baby talk to him like an adorable puppy.

I'll take issue with your stance on the Brees deal? How can you knock a deal that was a home run for the Saints cap situation? The team saved $17.75 million in cap space this year with the deal. It's a five-year deal that automatically voids in two years, allowing the team to spread out guaranteed money over five years instead of two. 

That was written about an hour before the contract details came out. At the time of writing, all anyone knew was the ballpark of 4 years, $100 million, so that's how I guessed $25 million. I'll take it that you agree with everything else I said

Thanks for visiting. I enjoy educating opposing fans about their team

Fwiw, its not that easy to do.  The Packers got somewhat lucky getting AR when Brett retired, and the Colts had to suck for a year to get Manning's replacement.  Other than that, I can't think of any teams that have really had a plan in place when their star qb retired or left. 

Brees wasn't exactly a star in San Diego but his departure opened the way for Philip Rivers.
