Either way somewhere along the way you're going to have to use a high pick to get one. Why wait? Let someone grow under Brees while hes still got some years left?


It would be better to maximize the rookie contract of a QB. When Brees retires, we will have a reckoning cap wise with all of the money we have continued to kick forward. So there will be a lot of dead money for a year or two.

You want a QB on that rookie contract, earning that money, for 3-4 years.

Also, we are in WIN NOW mode. All players picked need to count.

frick that. We are in WIN FOREVER mode.

EDIT: I don't know, maybe we are in WIN NOW, but we ought to be in WIN FOREVER mode. Screw the mortgage the future after Brees to win now mindset. I want a long lasting good team, not a "living in the past like the Cowfux" one

Only if we get lucky and get an all-world rookie. This is too big of a gamble to take. Paeyton's offense is one that is very complex, so any rookie would likely not start. If he did, then he would have a toned down offense. It would be best to have a guy on the team for 1-2 yrs that has learned the system, knows it well and can step in and run it without compromising any of it.

I get it and I agree.The Saints have definitely upgraded in free agency. Who's to say drafting a QB wouldn't count?
