With this defense, is there ANY affordable veteran who could win a game as the starter? I mean, if they can score 30, which is what they would have to score to win, then why are they still available?
to me we really dunno how much it is the Payton system that elevated Brees from a good QB in SD to an elite one here- cuz he's never gone down (thank gawd). In the event he did, a young guy might shine brighter in this system than he might really be. I'm thinking like Cassel. The Pats won 11 games with him starting. He moved on and was shite in KC. I could dig a 4th or later QB with more potential than a PS scrub like Canfield. Shine them up then sell them off.
Use Daniel as a guideline. With 9 career pass attempts he became esteemed enough to get $3mil a year. If Brees had any outages and he played more that could have been multiplied exponentially (if it was good results).
Payton is an offensive genius that any QB is gonna look a level or two better than they might be in any other system IMO. Use that to create some tradeable value with a 4th or 5th rd pick.

Payton is instrumental, no doubt. But Brees is also that rare driven athlete that works himself to death to stay on top of his game. He outworks every other QB to overcome his limitations (size). I don't see him clubbing, smoking a doobie with the boys, etc. etc.
ETA: It would be nice to think Payton could mold another Brees, but I think he's a once-in-a-lifetime kind of player. Best I've ever seen, and I'm pretty damn old.

Then why sign Brees to a contract that cripples your ability to have a decent defense?
ETA: Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Drew brees, I just don't see a backup winning no matter who it is. They just can't score enough to make up for this defense so why bother spending money on a backup?
