Brees too competitive to help develop a young QB?

Love the guy, but he doesn't strike me as the type that's gonna go the extra mile for the guy set to take his spot. His focus and drive to play is insane, which is why he makes an amazing QB, but potentially bad Training mentor. I mean look at Grayson...how did that idiot fail to show an iota of progress or promise after 2 yrs with Brees.!?

Thoughts?

95% of what makes Brees a HOF QB is his film study and preparation. Everything I have heard about him and his relationship with Chase is that they are on the same page with that. So no, if the Saints grab a young QB I am sure he will take him under his wing.

It's not Brees job to mentor his replacement. It is his job to lead the team and if someone behind him can learn from his work ethic and leadership great.

Brady the same way as was Favre. I actually have no problem with that.

My thoughts are since Brees has been here we drafted a 3rd and 7th round QB and that's it. We've invested almost no capital (the third was a decent investment but the 7th was a flyer) in bringing someone in to actually take his place.

This was the first year we heavily considered taking a first round QB. If you aren't taking a first or early second round QB you aren't really looking for a replacement.

VERY few QBs after the second round ever do anything in the league.

I'd say you struck yourself wrong.

Read his book.

He is not big on developing backups. And if he had his way, they would never see the field.

The experience in San Diego burned him.

I read the Brees book after super bowl. He was taught by Doug Flutie the concept “never let your backup see the field for a single play” because of the risk of losing your job.
So I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t seem eager to help his replacement.

Brees too competitive

Being competitive is not tantamount to being selfish. Brees knows his days are winding down and he seems to have enough respect for the organization, the owner and the coaches to do whatever needs to be done to make it and them winners.

Interesting take. I doubt Doug Flutie went out of his way to help Brees at SD either.
Much as I know Saints will have to move on fromBrees one day, it doesn’t look like this is his last year in NO, so wishing for a star backup isn’t a priority

Where in his contract does it say he has to be a mentor for his replacement? His window for a playoff run and possible championship is closing very fast and I am sure he is not thinking about being a mentor to someone looking to take his job.

The one whose name I will not mention was a third round draft pick at QB. Y'all need to let it go, in realistic terms a QB selected in the third round is usually a camp arm/ practice team guy and at best maybe a career backup. Anyone who thought the one who's name I will not mention was the future after his first year is delusional, shite stupid, or just plain retarded.
