re: This day will come sooner than most realize

I expect Brees to have three or four more great years, then maybe a couple of okay years and then retire. (Brees is 34, but Peyton is 37 and still playing very well, and Tom Brady is 35).

Hopefully by then Brees will have mentored a fantastic QB to take the reins.

Sean Payton is only 49, even if he retires relatively early I think he has at least a decade left and hopefully he will spend it with the Saints.
