re: Enough with these Negative Drew Brees threads

Look, Drew held the Saints and the fans hostage after being offered $18 million + a year. This at a time when his leadership was needed more than any other time. He skipped the spring trainings. He got what he wanted, the highest paid player in the NFL, so let me tell you, he earned the right to be criticised, and if you look at the first 3 games, his performance wasn't so hot there either. There is something called karma, and Brees brought this on himself with his holdout.

I agree with that

Brees is a fantastic player and deserved to be paid as such - he held out to be paid at a higher level than he deserves tho.

If he was really a team first guy he would have taken just a couple million less to make it less about his ego and more about making this season more successful. He didn't and the season isn't - the criticism he is catching now is deserved in those respects.

I agree with you. I think everybody will have a bad game every once in a while. It's alright, he'll pick it up next week. Future HOF is getting thrashed on these boards, very ridiculous.
