but only as long as the Saints bring in a young guy for Brees to start grooming. You should never neglect the future.

That was kind of my point. I didnt mean for brees to be a coach long term. I meant it as us drafting a young guy, him sitting behind brees, then brees becoming our backup for a couple of years to continue to teach the young guy.

That is never going to happen. What all star has ever been cool with backing up and training their replacement? He'd demand to be traded and then try and prove something with another team. Just like every other QB that hangs on too long.

Never gonna happen. Great QBs either go to a city who will overpay for a former elite QB to drum up interest in the team or they go out as starters.

Montana went to Kansas City. Favre went to New York than Minn. Peyton has gone to Denver. Kurt Warner played for the Giants and Cardinals. Steve Young retired as a starter. Marino retired as a starter. Jim Kelly retired as a starter. Elway went out as a starter.
