And some of the great plays he makes are those same forces. This is nothing new. The first year he came here my initial reaction to his forces was "Who does he think he is, Dan Marino?" It didn't take long for me to stop questioning and start appreciating. It's a double edged sword, but Brees is able to wield it to our advantage much more often than he kills us with it.

I've said it numerous times, the competitor in me would rather have an increased chance of winning multiple Super Bowls with a contract worth $75 million rather than probably winning 1 with a $100 million.

20 years from now, Drew will want to be remembered as a QB by the super bowls he's won, not the contract he got.

Now I know taking less money won't guarantee he'd win another Super Bowl, but c'mon, it would vastly improve his odds.

I guarantee you he has enough money that the next 3 generations of Brees will live comfortably.

I will give you this...but yesterday was a huge game with Divisional playoff/home field implications. You simply don't take that chance with that field position. Look, I am a huge fan of Drew Brees and he deserves every penny of his contract. He is without a doubt the best QB this organization has had in it's history and that includes Archie. But you just can't make that throw in that big of a game. Too much on the line. All I'm saying is I expect better decision making in those situations for a player of his caliber.
