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

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..

Sure, I'm not trying to prosecute the case that Bridgewater is an All-Pro level player. He isn't. But what is Drew in 2020 if not a "quintessential game-manager"? What are our expectations of Drew if not to make "a few nice throws" and not turn the ball over? For mine, there's probably not a whole lot of difference, save for that teams need to respect Teddy's ability to throw a deep ball even if he is generally conservative with the ball. We don't need a Jackson or Mahomes level talent to win a SB this year, just someone that can reliably put the ball in the hands of any one of our supremely talented players on offense while limiting turnovers in the process.

Moreover, Payton runs a complex offense. In my view Bridgewater was growing into it, and they were beginning to open up the playbook as the season unfolded, but with Bridgewater under centre, CGM didn't drop off, Cook got more involved, and we saw Murray used correctly for the only consistent period in New Orleans since his arrival. All you want from a back-up QB is for him to come in, perform as a steady hand and steer the ship. Teddy did that, but he did more too. He was a genuinely useful contributor during that period.

At the end of the day, we went 5-0 with Bridgewater starting and 8-4 with Drew starting. Stretching back to his time in Louisville, Teddy has always been a winner. That counts for something too.

As much as the fans, staff and the city has this blind loyalty to Drew, I don't know how anybody could say it's not a legitimate question as to whether Teddy would give us a better shot at winning a ring this year. I'm not saying its definitive - just that there's a genuine argument to be had.
