What if Drew Brees has a change of heart and wants to return for 2021? Do we risk losing Jameis like we did with Teddy or do we honor Drew's wish

The hypothetical question was, in 2021, which of Teddy Bridgewater or Drew Brees is or would be better placed to lead the Saints to a Super Bowl?

Teddy won five games from five starts last year. It was literally the best result he could have achieved for the team over that period.

Meanwhile, 2020 was slated as a development year for Carolina, who were projected by all and sundry to finish last in the NFC South. They started 0-2 and lost CMC, who is easily their best player and the #1 RB in the entire league. In McCaffrey's absence, Teddy has gone on to lead the team to three straight wins with a ragtag cast of players on offense. Robby Anderson, DJ Moore, Curtis Samuel, Mike Davis, Chris Manhertz: not a Pro Bowl selection amongst the five of them. Compare that to Sanders, Kamara, Cook, Murray, Hill. Elite talent by comparison.

That's my measuring stick. And I stand by my point.

Look dude... I think Teddy is solid and I’m a fan of his, but he was the quintessential game-manager during that 5 game win streak, and the Saints were playing really good as a team during that stretch. Outside of the Tampa game, and maybe the Chicago game, Teddy was merely adequate.. he made a few nice throws and didn’t really turn the ball over... he had a WR setting an all-time record, Kamara (even if he was hobbled), and top 5 OL, and the defense was making clutch plays.
Saints scored a defensive TD, and got a Punt Return TD @ Seattle and Kamara played out of his mind... that wasn’t cuz of Teddy.
Saints barely beat Dallas, and Teddy nearly blew that game... close close game with Jax, where Teddy hit Cook with a game winning TD, but was merely adequate there..
