Brees has broken ribs, collapsed lung


top dawg

Recommended Posts

Their next 4 games are very winnable even with Crab legs or Taylor Hillsom in at QB. Brees may be able to get back to 100% before the playoffs, and while his injury could cost them the division, it may not be such a bad thing for them if he is 100% healthy and rested for that stretch run. I hope they go winless without him though, make them wish they still had Teddy...

Yikes. Can't stand Brees as our rival, but damn I don't wish that on anyone. No wonder he told Payton he couldn't go. The guy was practically dying.

Don't be shocked if Payton fixes Jameis' turnover issues. If he does, that's gonna suck. Talent isn't Winston's issue. Turnovers are.

I can't believe they let him stand on the sideline all game if they had any inkling of a collapsed lung. I don't believe he's taking another snap, its not worth it.

I guess we find out if Jameis Winston's issues were because he played for Tampa, or he is just bad.  If we do go up against Winston, his line will probably be three interceptions, 3 td's, and 4 drives for fg's.  

Winston's issues last night did not appear to be just because he played for TB. Perhaps it was because they were putting hill in every 3rd play though.

I think he'll be back for the playoffs but I won't be surprised if this cements his decision to retire after this season.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
