Is Brees still one of the top 5 QBs

Nah. He's got probably three maybe four more years of elite play. But that said, it's more important than ever to keep him upright and invest in our o-line heavily.

Rodgers
Brady
Luck
Manning
Brees

Yes

I would say:

1. Rodgers
2. Brady
3. Luck
4. Wilson
5. Flacco
6. Romo
7. Brees

Have a downvote. Actually have two.

this kind of shite is interchangeable each year.

this year was disappointing because Brees tossed 17 interceptions. A handful of pick sixes in there too.

call it pressing to hard.. whatever.

it was infuriating.

but that's what you get when you are one of the best QB's in the league.

maybe too much credit when you win and maybe too much blame when you lose.

Even if Brees performs at a high level next season, the Saints need to at least identify and acquire the successor.

Very valid point. I think Brees will be here another 3-4 years at the most. Maybe I'm wrong and he'll pull a Brett Favre. Who knows. Realistically, we have more issues than QB in the draft/FA this offseason. I think we rid of McCown (unless he wasn't already given a new contract already), promote RG4 to QB#2, and find another QB to add to our practice squad via UDFA.

If we give DB a good Oline like he had during the span of 09-11 he will excel.

Brees can play at a high level til he's 40 with a line that can stop an interior rush..period

Yes. If he had Green Bay or Indy's defense, the Saints easily win the division and could still be playing, though I doubt they win at GB or Seattle this year. My top five are Rodgers, Brady, Brees, Luck and Manning. Agree they need to identify the future but that doesn't start until 2018 if Drew stays healthy.

Manning, Brady, Rodgers , Wilson , Luck... So no
