Why thank you. Please continue with your Brees bashing.


It's not bashing. His ego and selfishness cost his team keeping Nicks (the best OL on the team), because he had to be the highest paid QB in the league and have a buttload of it guaranteed up front.

He's a great QB, but his "team leadership" clearly lacks when it comes to putting the team first, and that isn't surprising, and I am a Saints fan.

If I'm defending, you're bashing. Fair?

ETA: As for Nicks, Drew did the Saints a solid on that one.

It isn't his fault the Saints gambled with him by not extending him before his contract was up. He played 2011 unprotected, played out of his mind, and gave his # from day 1. Saints folded to that # at the end. We could have saved money on both Graham and Brees by extending them early. The Saints FO said they aren't interested in restructuring his contract right now.

You also left out that Manning has made 53 million during the length of his contract so far compared to 46.2 for Brees.

The Saints front office cost us Nicks. I also love how you leave out that Nicks became the highest paid guard in the league...

Saints made an offer to Nicks.

Guards are pretty easy to find. Overpaying for them is not smart business
