Kinda feel sorry for Drew Brees

When Brees was in his prime, Saints defense was unable to hold up and it cost them several times in the post season.  When the Saints defense got good, Brees wasn't able to make plays down the stretch to win the game. No way would I expect him to lose his final 3 playoff games at home to teams they were favored to beat.

After watching that game, Drew clearly can't throw downfield anymore. They were down with less than 5 minutes to play and the Saints were running the ball on first and second down. I don't think he threw a pass more than 20 yards downfield. Now, he walks off the field for probably for the last time...knowing that his last two passes in the NFL were interceptions at home against a team they really should have beat. Without the benefit of the 4 turnover (3 Int's by Brees and a fumble) Tampa would have lost this game.

During that 6 year stretch from 2008-2013 you could make an strong argument that he was the best QB in football. He had a great run. I'm sure he'll be ok in retirement.

As a fan of a sport, sucks to see him go out like that but I hold respect for him as a player and he got me super interested in the QB position when I was first getting into the sport.

I'm trying to remember the last big time quarterback I saw go out with a happy ending. Was probably Elway.

It doesn't happen often.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Been here since middle school right when it started around 2003 after the charlotte.com one. Living outside of Carolina it was tough to find good Panthers content, news or analysis. And no one to talk to about it. This place gave me a lot though I don’t often post. In the later days, I particularly Loved PhillyB’s write ups. They were fire. Too bad I go let it go. I appreciate the hell out of @MHS831 @TheSpecialJuan @Jackie Lee and others who have been posting great content and keeping this place worth coming back to. Particularly during the offseason. Appreciate y’all!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Nice explanation, but I was just messing with you. Thought that would be obvious. I dont have the energy to keep on trolling. Last season I compared our situation with Bryce as a potential Alex Smith, but what we should be looking for is our version of Mahomes. Some people will read that as one sentence, to me that single sentence is equivalent to a half A4 explanationf of the teams pathway forward.

      I dont know how much of his salary would come across and how much a trade would cost but I feel Kmet would be the sort of TE Canales and Morgan would like
