Drew Brees out as NBC analyst after just one season

One and done.
Legendary NFL quarterback Drew Brees will not return to NBC after just one season as a studio and game analyst, according to sources.
The decision seemed mutual as Brees preferred doing games over the “Football Night in America” studio show, and NBC didn’t have many NFL games to offer him. NBC soured on Brees’ potential after originally believing he could develop into the heir apparent to Cris Collinsworth on “Sunday Night Football” games.
On the air, Brees, 43, had an up and down rookie season that was highlighted by a poor performance in his biggest broadcast of the year, the Bengals-Raiders playoff game.
While Brees is done with NBC, there is still a possibility he could end up in an NFL booth next year as Fox still has to fill its top game analyst positions for this year as Tom Brady won’t start until after he finishes playing.

Why do these guys jump straight into the booth? Like just retire and enjoy time with your family dude. You’ve been missing out on so much for 20 years, at least take 5 or so years off.
Do what Peyton did. Retire then do random things in media. No big commitments right out the gate.

Louisiana football fans sure do like to shite on the people that brought them so much success. Not sure who gets more hate around here. Brees, Miles or Coach O.

He might not have the NBC gig, but he’s always been gunning for a gig with BBC

I haven't spent a $$$ on anything brees is involved with since the Blake bullshite.
I had to meet with some people at Walkons once since then, and I told them to bring me whatever was free and told my people never to choose walkons if they needed me at a future get together.
frick a dude that will sell out his grandfather for the dollar.

Well….Bye.
He wants to be all Hollywood, but he came across as fake and trying too hard.
I won’t miss his hairpiece that seemed to change color from week to week.

Dan Patrick (who formerly was on the NBC SNF show and is still affiliated with NBC/Peacock) alluded to this last week on his daily syndicated talk show.
While he didn’t directly say Brees was out, he was critical enough of him that it led me to believe Brees wasn’t coming back.
The context where it came up was a discussion of the new Brady commentator contract.

I never understood why people hated him for that. There is a good chance he had no idea about that situation (since they were in camp when it happened). One of the managers put it on his helmet because maybe his agent told him to do so to try to help his imagine for taking heat for some other bullshite.
I don't think Drew went home, watched the news and then went back the next day and told a manager "can you put the name of that dude who was shot because he kept resisting arrest and was trying to get into a vehicle to kidnap kids.
With that said, he was no question a better QB than he was an analyst so its really not surprising.
Every network is trying to find the next Tony Romo so they all are wanting to hire a starting QB as soon as he retires, which is dumb. Romo knows a lot of football, which all starting NFL QBs do, but what makes him a good analyst is how he is able to deliver that info so stop spending all of this money on a recently retired QB and look for someone from another position who has the personality and can bring their POV to the game.

The networks need to stop promoting guys with no experience in the booth / on the set.
Romo is one of a kind.
Even the Great John Madden spent a couple of seasons as a lower broadcaster.
If Brees wants to be a broadcaster he needs to spend some time on the 4th best game each week on the B1G Network
