Drew Brees' Hall of Fame numbers being squandered like no one else in history- Holder (1 Viewer)

I agree. At least Brees has 1 Super Bowl. These guys and a few others were great yet always played on bad teams. Brees has only had bad teams about 50% of the time though it isn't getting any better.

yep. the only statistic that matters and the one that has already placed him the elite group that is superbowl winning quarterbacks. when your team is 0-3 to start a season, articles like this almost have you begging for the off season. it is not the appropriate time.
 
Brees will get into the HOF no matter what. He stats and Play hasn't declined yet
 
The Saints will finish in the bottom 2 in defense for the 4th time in 5 seasons.

Let that sink in.
 
SP and Loomis are trying too hard to make us competitive, to the point that they are getting in their own way. SP wants full control of the team. That's why he has his trusted buddies in all 3 facets of the team. SP needs to realize that he does not know defense, he should hire a legit DC. He doesn't know STs, he should hire someone that does. The fact that he coached us to a championship is completely blinding him. Sometimes, in people's lives, they forget what got you success, but your ego takes over. I'm hoping that "the plan" (all along) was to wait for 2017. That way, we'd have $$$ and we can make smarter personnel decisions, along with really making the necessary coaching changes. 2015 and 2016 wasn't going to be anything special, who were we trying to fool?

The defense "should" improve once the injured players get healthy. However, currently the Saints are on pace to break their own NFL record for yardage allowed. Thanks Steve Spagunola
 
Sean Payton has to realize he will never be a defensive GM before Drew's career really is squandered. Sean is sealing his legacy as a one hit wonder if he does not come to terms with his limitations and do what is best for the franchise and its franchise player. We need to kidnap Wade Phillips as DC and let him work with a defensive talent evaluator. Maybe it is Ireland? If SP doesn't let someone fix this defense, he will end up being another Brian Billick.

Just an average defense. Simply average. Anything but nonstop first downs and no turnovers. Take that overwhelming pressure off the man and just imagine what he / the Saints could do.

Imagine if at your job, everyone else was totally incompetent and you had elite talent and were ultra competitive. How stressful would that be? How much would that hinder your performance? Would you long for a different working environment?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if this team starts off with multiple losses next year, there must be organizational accountability. You can't have 4 straight losing seasons with the greatest QB of all time. You just can't.
 
Let's face it. The D has been awful for several years in a row and it hasn't been corrected. Loomis and Payton need to be held accountable for that.

Held accountable? They have been putrid for years and Benson gave both Loomis and Payton promotions, raises, and contract extensions.

A real local media would confront both with these facts, and ask both if they would hire themselves given results of last 5 years. Both would be removed by most every other NFL owner.

Do you trust the group that epically created this mess to fix it?
 
It really is a shame that this team will never get to a Super Bowl again with Brees. This is the third year in a row that we have a terrible defense. Injuries every year is not just being unlucky, it's a trend at this point.

All we can do is enjoy his performances because it took us 24 years to go from Archie's last season to Brees' first. Who knows how long it will be before we ever have a franchise QB at the helm again.
