When we miss the playoffs I'll go ahead and bump it. Lovie smith isn't playing around and you all have Brees' nuts in your mouths.

It is a business, if you even have a job, would you take less money from your boss even if you were the best employee in your business, so that the business as a whole could be more successful? Or would you say frick that, I'm going to make what I earned, and prove why I'm worth it. You gave me this money, now make the rest of it work....... You talk like we have seen a huge decline in his production. Sheesh

LolZ no. No one here has any facts and get all hurt when someone says Brees isn't the best. If you think making the playoffs with the NFC the way it is, is a given, I can't help you.

I don't think Brees is the best QB in the nfl

Rodgers has a similar cap hit to Brees, Manning has more

You don't understand the salary cap. It's hard, we get it

You are clearly trolling if you think that no one has provided you with the information you are asking. No one is suggesting Brees is better than Brady. He's just not going to take a pay cut, not this year for certain. If that means we as fans don't want to win because we are explaining why he won't , I guess we are just huge homers with Brees nuts in our mouths. I'll wake up and put my GM hat on and get Drew on the phone and tell him how he is costing us a playoff spot.

People have plenty of facts.

It is a FACT that we it hurts us to restructure him this year.

It is a FACT that it is beneficial to restructure him NEXT year.

It is a FACT that if we didn't pay him what we paid him, he would have went elsewhere and gotten paid that much, if not more.

It is a FACT that that is the way the NFL works now...much shittier QBs are getting larger contracts than Brees.

You, quite simply, don't understand how the cap works.

Apparently you all think you have gm hats on. The thread was started saying Brees wasn't the reason we have cap problems. And I'm saying that's bull fricking shite.

Drew Brees has more yards, more TDs and a better completion percentage.

I understand...how the cap works. Take less money or gtfo. We don't need a top 4 qb to win a Super Bowl. And paying one past his prime that much hurts us. That is a FACT. You're saying it's impossible to let a qb go and build the ground up and win with a 2nd year qb... Oh wait. It's happened twice in the past decade jackass. To say that what he's paid is justified because other teams are stupid too, is insane.

Well, its right. That's the cost of having an elite QB. There are other players that are taking up way too much room.

But just forget that...

What was your alternative suggestion to re-signing your HOF QB that just won you a SB recently and had the best statistical year for a QB EVER up to that point?

That's the nature of the NFL now. QBs have huge contracts that eat into the salary of the teams. Which is exactly the point the article is making. Whether it's wrong or right is up for debate, but that's the way it is and that's the way it will continue to be. Deal with it, or go back in your mom's basement and masturbate yourself to sleep with your tears of lonelyness as lube.

So your plan was to just let Drew Brees go and hope to rebuild through the draft, correct?

Who are you arguing with? No one doubts that Brady has had a better career

To say they aren't close is laughable, especially since 2009

One stat. One. You're splitting hairs.

Drew is better in others. Drew is an all time great QB, its not really up for debate. Tom has had the advantage of maybe the single greatest coach ever.

They are both great. I really don't understand your point, because Tom Brady got paid, and Drew is going to do the exact same thing he did, restructure, next year.

No but it sure wouldn't be the end of the world if we did. What I'm saying is that if we want to win the Super Bowl he has to take less money. Feel free to bump when we win the Super Bowl. Won't be anytime soon.
