re: I'm angry at the hate Drew Brees is getting

as soons Brees comes out and destroys that horrid Bucs secondary and then ruins the Cowboys season, everyone will be back all over his nut sack. He will retire a Saint and will always be the greatest QB to ever play for the Saints

Hopefully Dallas makes the playoffs so Jerrah can't lure SP away.

I am not trying to hate on the guy, but he has put himself in a position that he deseves criticism.

I wonder how many more times I'm going to have to read this this season.

Not saying you're wrong but I don't see many people claiming Brees is above criticism.

However, the people saying we need to explore other options at quarterback are fricktarded.

He lost one of the best play callers, and coaches, in the NFL and he's supposed to just do it all himself? Sean Payton is amazing at setting up plays to work later in the game, namely on third downs, and his record on that down (3rd) speaks for itself. Drew knows he absolutely has to make plays that no one else would ever try to even have a shot this year. He doesn't bitch about it, he goes out there and tries. Criticism is a funny thing to have earned in that way. He's doing the best he can with a team full of pressure on his back.

Exactly.

And you are absolutely right to bash the "Drew Haters". They are idiots.

I give Drew props for being the Greatest Saints Legend of All Time. I can be critical of him and still give him the esteem and respect he deserves.

I could look Drew in the eyes and offer constructive criticism and at the same moment tell him he's the best that the Saints have ever had.

I love the guy. I hope he's part of another SB Champion Saints team, but, I would tell him to his face that the window is closing fast.

I blame Drew for being Drew.

He's trying to do too much because that's who he is. When Payton was taken from us, he assumed an even greater leadership role, and you can tell that it's taking a toll on him.

The irony is that the traits that make him a great QB are what's hurting him right now.

This is actually spot on! Look we all get pissed when Drew makes stupid decisions with the football, and if anyone on here says that they don't they're a frickin liar, but you are right he is taking the whole team on his shoulders.

To most fans, they sit back and say "he has a 100 million dollar contract, he should be able to take the team on his shoulders". To a certain extent this is true, but he can't do everything! The bounty bullshite affected every aspect of this team and destroyed this season (yes frick YOU ROGER GODDELL!!!!), so we have to just chalk this up to a wasted season (and of course hate Roger Goddell).

Like I said, I get pissed at Drew for costing games, but there is still no other QB that I would rather have behind center for the black & gold!


P.S. I don't ever stay mad at Drew for long because I know that no matter how pissed the fans get; I can guarantee you that he is more pissed at himself

drew's got just as many int's as freeman and newton. oh, freeman and newton combined!

I'm even more tired of seeing these dumbasses somehow trying to tie in his contract with why Brees is playing bad right now.

His contract is for future performance, not past. If you hold out for a large contract, you better be ready to perform to the level you promise. How is that hard to understand?

ETA: The homerism toward the Saints is a little ridiculous, much moreso than with LSU (the college I root for and thus basis of comparison).

Seeing so many claim that he has "put the team on his back" and taken on all the pressure has just gotten out of hand. The dude is forcing throws, much like Romo and Rivers this season. I'm sure you could claim that both of those guys are putting there teams on their backs' as well, but the end results are costly mistakes.

Again, he didn't seem to worried about putting the team on his back during training camp, while negotiating a contract which has made him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That sort of compensation comes with high expectations.

Quote and link me one instance of someone saying he is above criticism. I'll wait.
