This man you supposedly lost a lot of respect for gave us our first (and only) SB to date, was that SB’s MVP, was the centerpiece of the most glorious, successful era in Saints history and you want to nit-pick criticize him for wanting to retire on his own terms. He’s the NFL’s second all-time leading career passing yards leader, he gave his body, mind, and soul for this team, City of New Orleans and franchise for over 15 years, he’s almost sacrosanct, and for good reason. He left it all out on the field that he has to throw the football with his sons with his left arm now, and when that story came out here on SR a few weeks ago, their were still a few smug butt crevasses on here who disrespected Brees significantly.It's better to lose an aging HOF QB early than to use multiple and future 1st rd picks on players who don't pan out for a shot that never appears.
FWIW, I lost a good bit of respect for Drew. He could have handled it better and it appears may have stayed a year too long just so Brady didn't come here for a year. Drew knew his arm was washed but returned long enough to ruin that shot. It got Tampa a ring too.
I think it’s important to remind you and other posters what he did before you come on here and say you’ve lost a lot of respect for a man who was our Dan Marino.
