Nah, it’s not on him. Dude simply answered an inappropriate question for a yahoo finance article. He caved because he is a good guy that loves his teammates and he wanted to ride with them 1 more season. Nothing more, nothing less. You guys are pathetic for holding that against him.
No, he had an opinion of his own that was not woke or politically correct. Instead of standing by his belief he caved like a bitch. Makes you wonder what he really believes. Pathetic that you can't see that.

Look we can have whatever opinion we want and stand by it with little to zero consequences because we inherently have far less to lose than a top 10 QB in nfl history.

This was literally right after the George Floyd death. Context matters.

Brees had to backpeddle with his teammates accusing him of racism and his wife receiving death threats on social media. Did he overcorrect due to being pushed by black teammates like Demario Davis to not only be an “ally”, but be an active ally, sure.

It’s pathetic you can’t see that.

“I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country. Let me just tell you what I see or what I feel when the national anthem is played, and when I look at the flag of the United States… I envision my two grandfathers who fought for this country during World War II. One in the army and one in the Marine Corps, both risking their lives to protect our country and to try and make our country and this world a better place.”
Show me the racism in this statement. Show me what he needed to apologize for. If anyone needs to apologize it is the ones threatening him and his family with violence. But keep up your rhetoric.

As long as he doesn't start every sentence with "Well, listen..."

That’s not the point. Quit projecting. He had to apologize and do all of those things to keep left wing nuts from finding him and murdering him. And also to play his last year that he desperately wanted to play.

None of my posts suggested he did anything wrong. The world has been effed in 2020 on. Dude was simply in survival mode. It’s really easy to be high and mighty and stand your ground when nobody knows who you are.

The rhetoric against Brees in this fanbase has been absolutely embarassing for awhile now. It’s one of the reasons why I’ve disassociated from a large portion of the fanbase and now root for the Bengals. Y’all are insufferable with this Brees shite. Dude did everything right for basically 2 decades. Guy was worried about the safety of he and his family and being blackballed from the NFL, so he bent the knee a bit. I hold none of it against him. And nobody sane or with the ability to put themselves in someone else’s shoes should.

In his tv/online interviews, he tells funny/interesting stories, but he often swallows a lot of details that force the listener to read-between-the-lines/assume elements of the anecdote.

He also leaves out crucial details (think injuries: "he has a knee").


These things I think are explained as the difference between a head coach paid to see the least as possible and an analyst paid to say the most as possible. Maybe he can do it and maybe he can't.

quote:

In press conferences, he's even more measured. He pauses a lot while he gathers his message and will skip to the summary w/o the in-between details.

He often doesn't explain plays in layman's terms: "They were in quarters... (but the opponent) Switched to a fire (blitz). (Drew) Probably should have hit the crosser. The seam had a double (coverage)."


But I agree these will be difficult to overcome and likely lead to him struggling. The first part, gathering thoughts, is particularly problematic and troubled Drew.
