because Winston is a huge character liability in addition to his poor choices on field last season, as shown by his 15+ INT.
He took a step back yes but FSU WRs weren't as good as last year. He at least knows how to work in a pro style offense and make reads.
He's a weirdo because he's a genius on the field but not off but he did mostly kid stuff.

Extending a 37 year old QB would be a terrible fiscal decision.
It would save cap space and the team has plenty next year to boot.

who missed 10 games last season and three the season before that. I am hoping that he can stay healthy. Cannot trust those Hawaiians, though...
Let's hope so

I do, and I also realize that the downturn can happen at any moment, much like with Peyton Manning. I would rather not see the Saints get behind the 8-ball with an again Drew Brees, and I would rather have a plan established when Brees is gone. Sounds like I am in the minority, but I think that 2016 will be Brees' last with the Saints. If another team wants to drop huge money on him at 38, then more power to them. I just hope that it is not NO.
The saints likely do have a succesion plan but I highly doubt it's mariota or anyone from this class.
Why not build the team with as much talent as you can and get the "heir" next year when there's better prospects?

Wasn't Mariotta last year touted as a great prospect for this year? Bridgewater and Manziel the year prior to that? Every year we hear about the great QB coming out the next season, and when that happens he gets deemed as not very good. We really don't know if any of the guys you list will be good prospects until next offseason when they go through the process.
There's fallacy in thinking that postponing for life after Brees is the right move. QB is THE most important position on the roster, and not having one is the equivalent of a whore without a pimp. Bitch will get killed!
I'm not advocating trading up for or even taking Mariota at 13. I am saying that none of us know what will happen after this year with Brees. Maybe they extend him; maybe they trade him; maybe he gets hurt and can't play anymore; maybe he just starts to decline. The point is that the Saints know their plan, and there's a very good chance that plan includes prepping now to have Brees' replacement ready to step in whenever he no longer guides our whores. If they think Mariota is the guy (I think he could develop into a good qb) and the value is right, they will draft him. If they don't, then they will wait for the right value.

quote:It only helps if you extend him this year. Brees would only count as 7.5MM in dead money if you cut him after this upcoming season, with a $19.75MM cap savings. Not saying that Saints will, or should, do this. A lot would depend on how much he is looking at for an extension, as compared to the $27.5MM he is currently looking at for 2016.
It would save cap space and the team has plenty next year to boot.
quote:I would rather not throw the heir to the wolves, but that is my POV. Also, I am not very impressed with the next QB class. I also do not know when the Saints will have a shot at a top pick again any time soon. I would rather that time not come after a 3-13 season.
