re: Drew Bree's shouldn't have to restructure his contract

it still doesn't cover up the negligence of Loomis. While my points on taking a pay cut were based of an error, what I said was logical if it were true.

I was referring to the super bowl season, his contract year.

You don't know what you're talking about. The super bowl season was not his contract year. He signed his contract in the 2012 offseason.

Elite run game, elite turnover ratio, and overall elite defense

We finished 6th overall in running, same with yrds/attempt. Also, it isn't Drew's fault the highest paid guards are declining. There is zero reason our offense still shouldn't be clicking at this point.

We finished 25th in defense, but we were able to get the turnovers like you said. It was opportunistic, but not considered elite.

So not top 5 in either...


I get it, you just hate Drew Brees. You hated him before the contract and hated the signing in the first place when you were in High School/

I admit I was wrong at that, always thought the super bowl year was his contract year.

My ultimate dislike of Brees mainly comes from him HOLDING OUT for more money, and the fact he is barely 6 foot and his pass gets swatted everytime their is pressure up the middle, and also he isnt mobile enough to run out the pocket, consistently, and extend the time for his receivers.

I feel what I just mention are some serious faults he has and we should, aka Mickey, should have considered these faults and realize we cant throw all this money toward a player that cant succeed without a solid run game and interior blocking

Yea we have the highest guard salary combo, but we forgot about the defensive side. Drew Brees is a GREAT quarterback... however, this isn't basketball where one player can completely change a team.

The ultimate problem is the fact we or Mickey didnt consider what will happen when teams figure drew out while we continue to pay him 20+ million a year

And I will Hate Drew until the day he runs out the pocket and extends time to throw, reconstruct his contract, grow 3 Inches, and never wear a Saints Uniform again[/

I pretty much been saying the same thing about him for a while now

Atleast I am consistent unlike majority of the people here who rant based off what is the popular opinion

I think you're taking it out of context. What I was trying to say was that while I based points of my argument off of an erroneous assertion, the points based off of the erroneus assertion would have made sense had the assertion been true rather than false. I'm not saying that I'm right. I'm just saying that my opinion should be respected because it was based off of logic, rather than ignorantly criticized. When I say ignorantly criticized I'm not refer in to those who said that I was wrong based off of factual evidence. I am referring to the person who made a poor attempt at insulting me.

Im done posting on saints board, but the ignorance being said toward those who have a different opinion is just childish

And the reason why I stick to my opinion about not wanting to sign drew to his big contract is simply based off the idea that at one point Sean Payton was considered to save Drew career after he got cut. Who knows where this team will be if we didn't sign drew initially or sign him.to that big contract

We can assume we go 0-16 every year like most people here assume, but the fact is WE HAVE NO CLUE what would of happen.

Sean Peyton made Drew Brees look awesome in his offense, and when sean was suspended we saw Drew struggle a little. So maybe Sean has that ability to turn another good quarterback to a great one

AGAIN WE HAVE NO IDEA, and all this board does is assume and majority of the posters here go with the majority opinion just so they don't get yelled at and hurt their low self esteem

I get yellled at all the time, for insanely unorthodox opinions, but atleast I attempt to back my opinion other than just tell someone else their opinion is dumb and they deserve to be banned

You make claims about batted balls, but offer zero stats in comparison with the rest of the league. You offer claims about his mobility, but the stats show that he consistently has a low sack % when under pressure. You criticize his height, but wanted Wilson...

Because I dont waste my time looking up stats to prove a point to someone, I do not care about changing your opinion, I only care about saying what most fans dont because they are close minded to anything negative about the Saints.And his sack percentage might be low but a good stat for you to look up is what his is interception ratio when he is under pressure

And i wanted Wilson because he runs out the pocket and extends time outside the pocket

If you want some homework, look up the post when I said if Drew could be more mobile and extend time.outside the pocket more consistently, all of this will be solved.


But you did make one good point, saying I am not a Saints fan. Honestly I do not know what I am...I watch every game ofcourse, but recently when they lose a game I dont feel like shite. In the past I couldn't watch ESPN for a week if they lose. Now I dont care, but yet I cheer for them when they play. Its a confusing. ...

With that all said, I will smoke this bowl and leave the saints board for true saints fans and post about how terrible Jimmy is when at one point almost every one wanted his jersey

Peace true saints fans

So you complain that others don't back up their opinion, but you're too lazy to back up your opinion?

Being closed minded is coming to a conclusion without any evidence to back it up and ignoring the evidence that screams in your face.

Something that may blow your mind: Brees ran a lot more than Wilson did coming out of college. He developed into a pocket passer and works well out of it.

What will be solved? He completes 70% of his passes despite getting "every" ball batted down at the LOS. He has it solved.

You're a young, fair weather fan who's clueless. The problem is that you think you're knowledgeable when you don't even know simple facts that you help base your opinion on (like Drew milked the Super Bowl year b/c it was a contract year)

You seem to be an uneducated person, and I don't say that in reference to your extreme lack of knowledge of the Saints franchise and our players, but at an academic level. Your posting indicates that you are an uneducated person.

That is all.

ETA: No it's not

I was listening to the radio this morning and it seems like Drew will restructure his contract, but not this year. It may be more likely to happen next league year.

Also, you have to realize that Drew Brees isn't the GM of the Saints. It's not his job to restructure his contract. From everything I can tell and have read/heard, he wasn't even asked to restructure this year.

I have a hard time imagining him being the kind of player who wouldn't restructure if asked. Furthermore, he's the goddamn face of the team and without him this franchise is shite. You know it, everyone in this thread knows it, and everyone at Saints HQ knows it. So, be smart and direct your frustrations elsewhere.
