I guess that we can expect more and more genius moves from Mickey Loomis. We will be unstoppable, like our Defense.

Good luck finding another legit #1 WR if Colston walks...

I know im in the minority, but I think Colston will be harder to replace than Nicks.

He is, but Ice is right, if we have hopes of keeping Nicks or Colston, we can't do that after giving Brees a monster contract. We'd be screwed for a few years trying to sign FAs

Drew brees has made quality receivers out of chicken shite every single year.

Drew Brees cannot elevate o-lineman in the same way. There has been significant dropoff whenever we get hit on the oline. There has been virtually no dropoff when we lose a skill guy.


That's why you are in the wrong minority.

That and Nicks is easily the best guard in the NFL.

Exactly. Brees can make WRs look amazing, but he can't if he doesn't get protection

I don't see what the big deal is then if the Saints can franchise him again next year and the year after.

It would be a PR nightmare for BOTH

Im not wrong. But i know i wont win this argument.

We dont have to replace the best G in the league with another all pro, just somebody that does his job well.

Just like after Faine, we got Goodwin, after Goodwin it was DLP. Believe it or not, Brees was fine before Nicks was here.

Good luck on 3rd and 10 when Graham is doubled and the number 1 corner is on Moore.
