I guess what I'm also asking is had the negative plays by Cooks and the block in the back penalty not happened and the Saints went on to win the Superbowl would anyone want him back for an encore?
I think the dream scenario for 99.9% of us was Brees winning and riding off into the sunset. I don’t think there’s anyone on this board that envisioned Brees starting Week 1 of 2021 being ideal. I actually think had he won the Super Bowl there’d be less fan desire for him to come back, which is never good. Basically if someone didn’t want him back as a champion but do want him back after a disappointing performance, it likely means they are glory chasing and not making decisions based on performance.
