Brees: If NFL fans were told there were "weapons of mass destruction" enough times, they'd believe it. But what happens when you don't find any?


Recommended Posts

To be fair, if this was our team, or players and fans would be acting exactly like Brees, Vilma, and the Aints fans. If you say you'd be upset at the Panthers, you're a liar. You'd be behind them. Is Brees full of BS? Of course. But it's not a shock at all all of them are acting this way. I'm just ready for the season to start. This Aints drama is so tired.

I respectfully disagree. I would want them to admit the truth and move on. One reason I pull for the Panthers is Gerry preaches integrity; there is none in NO on many levels. I would not hate them for the bounty issue, I would hate them for not taking accountability, the same reason I hate most people. No one takes accountability anymore....

Actually, when the steroid stuff came out, we were pissed about tarnishing our reputation Even if "every team does it".

I tend to be pretty objective... if this was the Panthers going thru it, I would be realistic and hope for the best, but would not be happy with the team that it went on.

I think the Saints* coaches involved in this are complete turds... worthless and should not be allowed to coach again.

The players I think got caught up in it... and I've said all along that I was surprised at the level of punishment the players received and think it was overly harsh. Having said that though, they did need some sanction for participating, and I do think the NFL has appropriate proof of what went on... the players are just posturing now.

I do think, however, that guys like Brees knew EXACTLY what was going on, and although they may not have necessarily liked it... they let it ride. He's running his mouth now when his best bet would be to just shut up and let it play out. Nothing good will come from his denials.

To be fair, Brees obviously wasn't apart of the actual bounty scandal, whether he knew about it or not.

We don't know the intentions of the dude's "delusion". For all we know, he could be simply trying to keep the fans into it. Or just staying loyal to his team and teammates. Sure, it'd be better to not say anything at all, but I don't fault him for sticking with his team whatsoever.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
