to me we really dunno how much it is the Payton system that elevated Brees from a good QB in SD to an elite one here- cuz he's never gone down (thank gawd). In the event he did, a young guy might shine brighter in this system than he might really be. I'm thinking like Cassel. The Pats won 11 games with him starting. He moved on and was shite in KC. I could dig a 4th or later QB with more potential than a PS scrub like Canfield. Shine them up then sell them off.

Then why sign Brees to a contract that cripples your ability to have a decent defense?

ETA: Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Drew brees, I just don't see a backup winning no matter who it is. They just can't score enough to make up for this defense so why bother spending money on a backup?

All of the top teams with huge QB contracts are struggling with the cap: Patriots, Saints, Packers, & Ravens.

Denver has a lot of young talent so they haven't had to sign anyone else to big long-term deals yet; other than Manning.
