I mean even that’s questionable. They both have pretty weak arms but I’d give the slight edge to Teddy. I think he can put a little more mustard on it than Drew

You should be too.

This issue is not before brees comes back. The issue is when brees comes back, if teddy won all the games and then drew loses 2-3 games.

No, the real issue is the offseason.

Bridgewater came back, instead of going to Miami. Why?

Without injury, Brees finishes this season owning every record in the books, has a damn strong team and likely makes another run at the Super Bowl.
That seems like a good point for Brees, Cam Jordan, and Ted Ginn to say "thanks for the memories, we're out". The remaining core is very good with Thomas, Kamara, Lattimore, Davenport, etc; and Bridgewater can step in with 2 years of tutelage under his belt.

But with this injury, who knows if Brees comes back with enough time to set the records? Does he want another year, a clean, injury-free final season?
If so, is Teddy willing to sit ANOTHER year, after getting his feet wet this season?
And remember, they're both free agents. Do you choose the 40 yr old legend over the young guy just coming into his own?

No one with a functioning brain in their head thinks Bridgewater is a better QB than Brees.

absolutely 0% chance...

even Bridgewater would tell you this is Drew's team when he's back healthy....

Maybe not now; but again, they are both up for new contracts.

Brees is great, but Father Time is undefeated. Brees is near the end. Teddy on the other hand, can give you 10 yrs barring injury.

The problem is this; you need to groom a replacement. Do you think we get somebody better than Teddy in the next 2 years? If so, it's a no-brainer to keep Brees and let Teddy go. If not, this is gonna be a very tough call to make.

i honestly think this IS the last year he will play... just sort of a gut feeling about it...

Brees will probably be back next season. Some other team will pay Bridgewater a ton of money to be a starter. And, good for him, because it might be the only chance he has at a big-time contract. It would not surprise me in the least if Payton is thinking that he will be able to retain Taysom Hill long-term on a relatively cheap contract because a lot of money will be tied up with Thomas, Kamara, etc.

Teddy is not going to be staying past this season if Brees does not retire. The Dolphins were a crap team, and Teddy knew it. Brees going down is the best thing that could happen because here Teddy is surrounded by a ton of offensive talent and a brilliant offensive-minded coach that will help inflate his value when he hits free agency.

You people are stupid stupid. Bridgewater is no Brees. Not by a very, very long shot. Terry is just holding down the fort till the real passer get's back. How would you sit down the most prolific passer in NFL history for Bridgewater? You no nothing about football.

Don't give a shite if Bridgewater wins out in the regular season. You start Brees as soon as healthy. At the end of the day, I trust Brees to overcome any adversity and put me in position to win. Brees' ability to read the defense and throwing accuracy are 2nd to none.
