Good. More competition in the NFC.

He is like a setting sun. The team will not go far. They lost three straight at the Dome.

Yay! I guess.

Awesome!

Another stat padding year only to end In playoff disappointment!

This means Brady will play too. These two guys want to end up with all the records. It is all about ego now. The injury risk at their age has to be pretty high.

Are they going to play into their 50's?

Brees missed something like five games last year and his arm still looked completely gone by the play-offs. He was awful vs the Vikings.

I watched the super bowl thing with him, Montana and Favre and he was not ready to let go. This doesn't surprise me at all.

Brees yardage stats have decreased for 3 straight years. If he stays healthy though, he will end up with over 80,000 yards in his career.

Mahomes is going to have to play a lot of years to break that record.

Brady's stats have declined for the last 3 years. I bet he was really hoping Brees would retire so he could hang on for one last mediocre year and have all the records. Now he will most likely have to play 2- 3 more years if Brees stays healthy.

Brees will end up with all the regular-season records and Brady will have most every SB record.

I hope he plays for the cHargers!

Exactly this.

Game at Saints next year will be fun.

Likely Sunday Night Football.

Does Sean Payton actually seriously believe that Taysom Hill is an NFL starting QB whenever Brees actually does decide to hang things up?

I heard multiple reports/tweets from when Brees was mulling retirement that the Saints would just move along with their longterm plan at QB, which is Hill.

So your 40+ year old starting QB goes down with an injury, and you've got the supposed future of the franchise sitting right there on the bench, but you roll with Bridgewater instead, who you're just going to let walk and/or trade the following season? Explain to me how your weird toolsy trick play H-back is getting preparation and experience for a starting job by never running the offense in a real game from play-to-play. And explain to me how that guy is the future when he's almost 30 years old and he's taken plenty of hits/injuries already from his time playing that weird trick play role you have him in.

I get Bridgewater is ahead of Hill in terms of QB skills, and your team has Super Bowl aspirations, but do you REALLY think Hill is going to be better than game manager level as a starter in this league at his current age? If he's not better than Bridgewater now, is he ever going to be better than him? And if he is, then why didn't you plug him in as the starter and keep Bridgewater on the bench?

The whole thing seems very idiotic.

This.

Taysom Hill is a great gadget player, and I'd love to have him on my team. But, would I want him as my starting QB in the NFL? Hard nope.

Watch the videos of Hill playing QB in college...he sucks ass at actually playing the position.

The Saints are about to get wrecked, they are worse off money wise than we are with a bunch of key dudes being FAs.

Hill is 30, and hardly a NFL QB.

That stuff with him is probably the biggest joke ever, when did he go from gadget guy to thinking he can play QB?

I haven't been paying attention. Would he go back to the Saints, or would he wander the earth looking for some desperate clueless team to sign him like Brady's going to do?

(I guess that's not fair to Brees. He can still play, whereas Brady is a hollow husk.)

I’m sure that’s going to be a prime time game for us in New Orleans!

You could see it in his eyes when he was doing that Super Bowl thing with Montana and Favre.

Mahomes vs Brees will be cool. Sorta kinda makes up for us never getting to see Mahomes vs Rodgers.

Is he going back to New Orleans or just back to the NFL?

If Mahomes plays at a relatively high level until age 40 and then the team has to go through cap hell and a full rebuild afterwards...

Sign me up.

I was just thinking it would be funny if he ended up going back to the Chargers, but then it occurred to me that I really wouldn't like that very much.

Yessir.

Patrick has said ever since he got drafted that he doesn’t give a damn about stats. He had a bunch of nice stats at Tech and got nothing out of it besides a bunch of shootout losses. I am guessing his feeling is even stronger right now about stats compared to winning.

Yeah, I wonder which award Mahomes enjoyed winning more - the league MVP or the Super Bowl MVP...

I love the fact that there are so many aging QB’s out there, and meanwhile we have a 24 year old MVP QB with one ring already.

The future looks bright boys

What a stud this cat is.

Last season he had a gaudy 74.3 comp% and a great 116.3 passer rating, that coming off a 74,4/115.7 season. His his last 4 seasons 119tds and only 31 picks.

By the time he does hang it up his numbers will be like Jerry Rice so far out nobody stands a chance.

Drew Brees to Michael Thomas as good as it has ever been.

If he has an average 25td/3000 yard season in 2020

572td over 80,000 yards.....that is mind boogling.

Speaking of mind boggling....

Michael Thomas

470 catches
5512 yards
32 TD

in 4 seasons.

it will amount to losing in the playoffs again.
big deal

20 teams won't make the playoffs.

11 teams will lose in the playoffs.


Yep, a real big deal.

no super bowl again. not big enough to care.
its the saints. They got their one. It will be another 50 years again

Who cares, the bottom line is stat wise Drew Brees has no equal.

Mahomes breaks 80,000 yards in roughly 16 more seasons averaging 4300 a year.


Mahomes breaks the current TD record in 15 and a half seasons averaging 32 TD's a year.

Drew Brees is still viable: Brady, Rivers and Rapesburgers are not.

I can't argue that, seems realistic.

4300 yards a year is only 268.75 per game, which is under Mahome's career average.

32 per year / 16 games- which is two TD's per game. Hard to believe Mahomes will do worse than this.

Longevity and a staying healthy will be key, but he is ahead of both Brady and Bress at this point in his career.

Mahomes has already matched Brees in Superbowl wins too! :thumb:

watch as Brady and Roethlisberger go further in playoffs next year.

One has nothing to do with the other.

Drew Brees is a much better QB right now than those other 3 guys.

and as I said,regular season is meaningless.
every team forum is proof every time the playoffs roll around lol.

too little, too late. and obviously doesnt rival the amount of playoffs/SB wins and appearances of the other two.

Wrong. And stupid. But to the point, just completely incorrect.

Yup. Between him, Brady and Rivers, they can't come to grips with where they are in life. Take the Saints off the short list to get to the SB.

The Saints missed going to the SB for the last three years because of a fluke, and a couple bad calls/non-calls by the refs all in the NFCCG.

None of which had anything to do with Brees.
