Drew Brees retires!!!!!!!!

Agreed. No question that Brees has been one of the best and racked up crazy stats but he's been the ultimate game manager, distributing the ball with high completion percentages, for almost a decade now and the Saints have continually failed against the most elite competition. Hell, they've only scored more 24 or more points 3/9 games in the playoffs since 2013, with the last time being against the Panthers in 2017, That 'high-powered offense' scored 23 once, 21, once, and 20 3 times in their last 5 playoff games. They win a lot of regular season games but that style can't be counted on to get it done against the elite in today's NFL.

24 points should typically be enough to win an NFL game but the postseasons is its own beast. It's a big reason why I'm personally so against the game manager style and advocate for dynamics.

Tom Brady says hello.

Brady can drive the ball though - he was chucking 50+ air-yard strikes this season at 43 years old. Brees could do that in his younger years but the threat hasn't consistently been there for a long while now. It will be very interesting to see if/how things change with Taysom or especially Jameis at the helm. I'm not saying it's guaranteed to be better, but it's a dimension that's been absent in their recent offenses. Will be interesting to see who ends up at the helm and how Payton adapts.

Teddy can step right on in there.

I wish, looks like they are signing Winston.

Good riddance. He stayed too long just like a bad mole.

That sorry guy beat us 18 times, one of those in the playoffs, and including his last 8 in a row

Fowler almost gets off the rails at the end of this, but it is a really good read.

Yeah delhomme was alot better than Brees. 

[Captain Morgan]

obviously my avatar shows how much I hate the Saints.  They have choked out, and I'll be changing my avatar soon as they settle into the irrelevance they are used to.

But I'll give Drew his proper respect.  He was good, and better than most of the best.  It would have been a lot more fun watching him if he wasn't a Saint, but he was still fun to watch.

Cheers to him.
