Please bear with me might be a long one....
So just like many of you I have been baffled as to why we haven't offered Drew Brees a contract extension since the ending of last season till now. Why this theory just came to me now is also beyond me. But I think there is a high chance we let him walk after the season ends. I know i'm gonna get red thumbed for this but hear me out. For one, I am a big Drew fan and it's gonna hurt when we see him leave. With that being said, let's face it we are a rebuilding team and have been for the last 2 years. We have cut away any cancers players that could have harmed this team and even traded a few away that had us scratching our heads but the returns have been awesome on those players traded to other teams.
Looking at our preseason game thus far and what we have done in the past 2-3 years I think our defense has improved but not as a team. I think we have gotten some key good players through the draft, free agency and trades but I think our biggest problem is that they haven't been able to mesh together. Why haven't they I couldn't be able to tell you.
As for the offense no doubt about it we have a top 5 offense hoping that the Oline will hold it together but that story is yet to be told for this season.
My point is that I don't think the front office will pay Drew a high amount of money if we can't be true Super Bowl contenders cause after all it is still a business. I really hope that i'm wrong in all this but for me personally i'm gonna start to envision life after Brees in NOLA as much as it might pain to do so.
One last thought to my Monday morning rant, someone here posted not too long ago that another problem is our coahces, GM and other staff. Maybe we do need to rebuild this team but it might also start from rebuilding from the top all the way down. Any who rant over. Thoughts, concerns, complaints?
