re: Brees was already gone before the season even started

Making a massive trade for your guy early in draft is fine. If Bree's goes, I would almost rather Payton stay because I think he could at least prep the new guy even if the rest of the team is just meh. Who knows maybe not having Brees as a crutch may light a fire under him like in the Panthers game where I though he did some of his best fishing in years.
