The saints have quietly been rebuilding the team while media says we are in win now mode

We are definitely set up to transition to post Brees. Looking at how Teddy did is all the proof we need. Our O-line aren't just Drew protectors. Most of them are great run blockers. We can lean on the run and solid defense while we groom a new QB regardless if Brees hangs around to coach him up. I even think we are a playoff team with a game manager QB or some journeyman we pick up until we can find that right fit behind center.

The other thing to keep in mind is that we will be a free agent QB's dream location after Brees hangs them up. At that point it will depend on how we feel about what we have in-house versus bringing in someone from outside the organization. I'm hoping we bring in Montez or Fine with a late round pick, so we have a year or two to evaluate them.
