re: Biggest upside to drafting Bryce Petty at 31

Everyone keeps trying to tie this to the Favre/Rodgers scenario, but there is a huge difference between their situation and the Saints' with Brees. Favre simply was non-committal and consistently contemplating retirement right when Rodgers fell in their laps. He was a security blanket in regards to Favre. They lucked out that the timing worked, but it's not like the same thing is present with Brees.

Money, age, and performance. Brees may not be "done" but his time here could be winding down

We are already seeing how having all your money tied up in an aging QB can limit addressing needs at other positions

This is a do or die year. If down the line you can trade Brees for assets and have a QB waiting in teh wings, the better off we will be.
