I don't think the argument here is that people likes Taysom over Teddy. I think both players can be our starting quarterbacks for years to come.
Teddy is more of a safe thing. If Sean Payton wants continuity, it is obvious that Teddy is the way to go.
If Sean Payton wants some excitement, by changing the game plan and ways to attack, then Taysom is his guy.
But not even plan styles is the criteria of one over the other.
With a 21 million cap hit on the wait, and based on the current salaries of quarterbacks, a new contract for Drew Brees won't come cheap.
Teddy is an unrestricted free agent. The best paid backup in football, and a guy that proved he belonged as a starting quarterback. I am sure that he can double his salary if he goes to another team. He will have choices, not only about salary but team.
Tysom is restricted, he may leave for a first or second draft pick, but I think we have a better chance to structure a multi-year deal with him, keeping also Drew with us for the next couple of years.
It is not that we don't like Teddy, it is just that we don't think we can afford him.
