Not the kind of return anyone was hoping for. The were 41-13 in the 3 years prior to the deal.

Hand him a blank check, they said. He should get whatever he wants, they said. He's worth all that and then some, they said.

We fricking sold our soul for the Super Bowl. And that's just a natural fact.

Look to the guards getting $21 million (both top 5 in pay) while completely shitting the bed. Look to us sticking with Charles Brown for too long last year.

Look to Byrd being the highest paid S in the NFL. Look to Vaccaro completely falling off.

Look to our 2nd draft pick not seeing the field while completely missing on our #2 FA corner in Champ Bailey.

Not to mention what happened with 2012

You will get smashed by the Drew apologist.

That's not a coincidence. Every team with a 20 mil QB is hamstrung. Some obliviously have better front offices than others. Sucks for us.

Yeah we should have held out and just let him walk. We'd probably have a couple superbowls by now.

I've been killed on here for bringing this up.

Brees is an amazing talent and I don't know if we had any choice.

But that contract has proved to not be a win for the Saints. Hence the record you brought up.

I've yet to hear anyone say what we should've done instead of pay him.

Several have paid their big time QBs and still have quality rosters. Hell Flacco makes around what Brees makes and Ravens are still a good club.

QB deserves the $. The problem arrives when you overpay everyone else who isnt a LT or a elite pass rusher.

Dumb argument.

Brees's contract has not stopped the team from putting a ton of money into the offensive line or the defense.

Evans and Grubbs are paid in the top-5 for their position.

Byrd is the 2nd highest paid safety.

Galette got paid. Lofton got paid. Hawthorne got paid. Bunkley got paid. Lewis got paid

Compared to those guys (minus Lewis), Drew is the one whose contract looks the best based on his performance. If you put the stone footed Tom Brady or Peyton Manning behind this line and with this shitty of a defense, you would be looking at a much worse season.

Now shut up.
