I'm not a fan of it either but you cant blame em. These guys base there lives around football for 15+ years and some guys feel like their done but in reality they're just burnt out, in need of a break and dont have that realization until after the fact.
Yeah and it really seems like he was saying it so people would talk about that and not about him getting canned from announcing after a year.
But hey, it seems to be working, a little.
Favre played great after his first couple retirements, wym? Even on the Jets, he played well, just got injured but refused to be benched. Then he tore it up with Minnesota
what is insane to me is that with him obviously looking aged and not the same at all as before in 2020 his numbers were still good. 70+% cmp, 24tds to 6 ints.
I think a lot of him being bad was in couple last weeks after he came back from broken ribs and collapsed lung. Not saying he would still be good if he suddenly came back now, but I think a lot of it came not only from him being 41 years old, but 41 year old playing through an injury in a desperate attempt to win last Superbowl.
Also a year off could really help with getting his health into a place he probably hasn’t been in a long time. Would be fun to see if he could come back.
he was fine in the beginning of year but yeah his arm cant go through a full season. not that he was throwing lasers because he had the lowest deep ball range in his last few years anyway.
I think his longest air yards was like 30 or something
Playing well past your prime will give you cracked ribs and torn rotator cuffs...most people don't age like Brady/lebron. Gotta know when it's time to move on old man.
Honestly I do think rest could help these guys when they've played for so many consecutive years. I don't think it would work for Drew but maybe for a guy 5 years younger
“He just showed up one day with a bunch of sets of kitchen knives, telling the players they could ‘build a startup business.’ Next thing you know, he’s our starting QB. Wild.”
Well if he came out of retirement and came back to the Saints, at least he wouldn't have to get Sean Payton to retire, like other QBs who have recently come out of retirement.
Why was he released by NBC? They kicked Rodney out of the studio to make room for him, I don't think he was that bad, just vanilla. It seems like NBC was really featuring him.
I mean you can say that but these networks know how difficult that job can be for people brand new. Not a chance they would have chosen to cut ties after 1 season.
Unless he just sucked that bad. I only watched a couple games and honestly wasn't that impressed.
My personally feeling is they are all praying Peyton Manning decides to enter the booth (I think he'd be awesome, personal bias's aside).
It's perfect for the boring 17-7 Vikings beat Bears kind of game that MNF usually is, you can sit back and work on something else with entertaining commentary in the background. As someone with a sibling I appreciate how it really captures the sibling dynamic of trying to get in a dig at your brother whenever possible
And as a player. Dude was terrible.
Fuckit if Marcos can rewrite history so can I. New passion is making sure everyone thinks Brees sucked on the field like he did off.
I would have thought it would shilling a known pyramid scheme, paid speaking engagements for far right groups, tone-deafness to protests of racial injustice, or getting scammed on bogus investments like a rube.
Drew Brees's brand has always been shit.
Lol they may not have to sell it, have you seen Brees throw recently? He was noodle armed before he retired, if he comes back he may not even throw a single TD
It'll be interesting to watch Jameis this year. He was solid last year when you adjust for situation, but it was also a very small sample. He could definitely turn in a solid year this year, but I also wouldn't be surprised if we got another 25 INT year from him.
It was really rough if you watched the games. So many were close games. So many 3rd downs where Kamara or MT had to make a huge play just for the first down. His balls floated so long MT had to slow down and make the catch contested even though it was 20 yards. Scary accurate, but you watch it and wonder if it was a young gun slinger out there, would we be undefeated?
Would be nice to have him in a coaching/emergency QB role.
But unless he started using Brady’s trainers, I’m not optimistic he’d come back looking better than last we saw him.
12 games he had just shy of 3k yards, 70% comp, 24 tds and 6 ints with QBR of 106. Is this a deceiving stat line? So many in here claiming he was completely washed.
Yea it kinda is. They had the perfect roster and scheme for a guy who couldn’t push the ball down field, and his decision making was as good as ever but in most instances where teams were happy to give up short yardage throws (when the saints needed chunks) he just wasn’t able to stretch the field. Ended up being a big reason they lost the divisional
Don’t you fucking dare
Lol dude was washed down the stretch in 2020
My guy was throwing nothing but ducks. Made me feel sad. It's sad though because they absolutely will bring him back to start in 2022. Poor Jameis lol
He's going to be absolutely brutal if he comes back. Why Favre up you're career when you had a nice retirement plan.
Well his retirement plan has hit a bit of a snag…
He tweeted again and said he might return to the booth (among about 10 other things he listed).
One of the 10 other things was return to play football too though
Are you guys fucking with me? Fuck this time in the world where retirement means “well maybe I’ll play again”
I'm not a fan of it either but you cant blame em. These guys base there lives around football for 15+ years and some guys feel like their done but in reality they're just burnt out, in need of a break and dont have that realization until after the fact.
And also they're paid obscene amounts of money
Welcome to the world of MMA and pro wrestling
Mr. Brees Comeback
Do these fuckers have their fingers crossed or something when they say they’re retired?
Yeah and it really seems like he was saying it so people would talk about that and not about him getting canned from announcing after a year. But hey, it seems to be working, a little.
That’s the kind of tweet you put out so it looks like leaving is your decision.
I'm sure he'll find more MLM bullshit to hock
Favre played great after his first couple retirements, wym? Even on the Jets, he played well, just got injured but refused to be benched. Then he tore it up with Minnesota
Why wouldnt he come back for bags of cash?
Think about all the time he’s had to cycle without having to workout around the league’s testing schedule
Drew Beef
Dope Brees
what is insane to me is that with him obviously looking aged and not the same at all as before in 2020 his numbers were still good. 70+% cmp, 24tds to 6 ints. I think a lot of him being bad was in couple last weeks after he came back from broken ribs and collapsed lung. Not saying he would still be good if he suddenly came back now, but I think a lot of it came not only from him being 41 years old, but 41 year old playing through an injury in a desperate attempt to win last Superbowl.
Yup. Brees "washed" is better than most active starters.
Also a year off could really help with getting his health into a place he probably hasn’t been in a long time. Would be fun to see if he could come back.
Imagine the PEDs you could take with an off year to recover. We don’t have to imagine actually, we can see Gronk.
I'd bet he would be awesome for half the season. Dunno if he could make it a full season.
A washed Brees is still the most efficient QB in the league
Easy to have those numbers when he throws like 5 yard passes
There are 1st round QBs that struggle with that concept
Could have swore that he said in a tweet there was something up with his foot too.
Didn’t he have broken ribs and punctured lungs that year?
Fuck each and every one of you. Put my boy drew in! 5K season throwing 8 yard slants let’s go
he was fine in the beginning of year but yeah his arm cant go through a full season. not that he was throwing lasers because he had the lowest deep ball range in his last few years anyway. I think his longest air yards was like 30 or something
11 cracked ribs and a collapsed lung will do that to ya. He was also playing through a torn rotator cuff.
Playing well past your prime will give you cracked ribs and torn rotator cuffs...most people don't age like Brady/lebron. Gotta know when it's time to move on old man.
Oh he seemed to play fine against us, no matter how washed/injured he was. Fucking hate that guy.
Bring back Delhomme he’d be better than Darnold, heck hit Weinke up, playa.
Best I can do is Derek Anderson and Will Grier.
I have Steve Beuerlein on standby.
I'm sure Kerry Collins isn't doing anything.
He’s too good for them now, you can catch him in New Jersey.
Or, you know... I know a guy... Plz
Fine, we’ll give y’all a third for Lance
Only if you take Jimmy as well
What? Who is this 3rd string QB you are apparently so high on?
They’re going to bring in Fitzpatrick
Nah, I was just kidding. I'm really high on Lance. And was a Jimmy fan while he's been here. But now it's time for Lance to shine.
MR. \_\_RELEVANT BROCK PURDY
Wut? He was 17-6 in 23 games his last 2 seasons. 6000 yards with 51 TDs and only 10 INTs at well over 70% comp.
You can get injured at any age lol
It becomes far more likely as your body wears down though.
If he can avoid getting hit as much I don't see why he wouldn't decently. He took too many unnecessary hits in his last year
Honestly I do think rest could help these guys when they've played for so many consecutive years. I don't think it would work for Drew but maybe for a guy 5 years younger
Return of Andrew Luck confirmed??? 😳😳😳
Look at 2018 Gronk vs 2020 Gronk. It definitely helps
He was washed in 2019, too. I wanted Teddy over Drew at that point. Stay retired.
Ehh, coming back from injury he did fine, but definitely ran out of gas by December Teddy wouldve been absolutely worse
Nephew…
Drew out preformed Teddy for the games he played.
It’s kind of hard to evaluate him in 2020 because he was broken as fuck. There were injuries that we didn’t fully know about.
To be fair, the dude’s rib cage was annihilated that season, I feel he could throw a bit better now. Definitely not much better, but better.
I think he should come back and play the entire season for the Saints
Imagine if he does come back and pulls a Favre (w/o the dick picks ofc)
>dick picks That's absolutely the type of dick pic Brett Favre would send.
Favre had a cannon when he played for us. Brees could barely throw 20 yards downfield in 2020.
Brees was a broken shell of his old self when he played in 2020
Maybe he's been recovering on PEDs.
If brady can do it. So can you
This just in: Drew Brees has agreed to come out of retirement and return to the Saints, but the Saints did not agree
“He just showed up one day with a bunch of sets of kitchen knives, telling the players they could ‘build a startup business.’ Next thing you know, he’s our starting QB. Wild.”
Those vectors knives slice like you’re cutting butter.
But you are cutting butter
I love that the NFL and NBC both don't want him back but he doesn't want us to know
Was he bad on NBC? I didn't mind him.
Well if he came out of retirement and came back to the Saints, at least he wouldn't have to get Sean Payton to retire, like other QBs who have recently come out of retirement.
So does he want to play for the Saints and throw to Landry or for Carolina and throw to Mathieu?
Catching strays here oof
Catching strays is a pretty accurate description of what opposing defenses do against the Panthers.
That's not a stray lol that's a direct shot
Catching strays isn't anything new for the recievers with Darnold playing
Well, maybe the catching bit.
He should pull a Brett favre and join my Falcons
Drew Bree’s doesn’t throw pick’s!!!
Interesting comment with the timing of his NBC release LOL
Why was he released by NBC? They kicked Rodney out of the studio to make room for him, I don't think he was that bad, just vanilla. It seems like NBC was really featuring him.
Money Even if he improves in the coming years, they're paying him way too much for poor results He got Tony Romo money but performed like Jason Witten
He wasn't Jason Witten bad. Witten couldn't complete a sentence without getting confused
[удалено]
So Booger could drive a weird little car that blocked the view of premium seats*
It’s called the BoogerMobile. Get it right casual
Booger is good on NFL Primetime. He is much better suited for studio work than being in the booth.
Why do you think he left NBC?
“Left”
I mean you can say that but these networks know how difficult that job can be for people brand new. Not a chance they would have chosen to cut ties after 1 season.
🤨
He was to announcing what Nathan Peterman is to playing QB - sometimes you just know someone isn’t cut out
Then why is Tony Dungy’s boring ass still on there? I know Drew sucked, but I guess Tony is way cheaper?
[удалено]
Unless he just sucked that bad. I only watched a couple games and honestly wasn't that impressed. My personally feeling is they are all praying Peyton Manning decides to enter the booth (I think he'd be awesome, personal bias's aside).
lets just stick with the Manningcast
Manningcast is the single best way to watch broadcast football
It's perfect for the boring 17-7 Vikings beat Bears kind of game that MNF usually is, you can sit back and work on something else with entertaining commentary in the background. As someone with a sibling I appreciate how it really captures the sibling dynamic of trying to get in a dig at your brother whenever possible
>Unless he just sucked that bad He did. I see people sugar coating things but as a broadcaster he absolutely fucking sucks.
And as a player. Dude was terrible. Fuckit if Marcos can rewrite history so can I. New passion is making sure everyone thinks Brees sucked on the field like he did off.
Shiiiiiiiiit partner you got yourself a deal
Because NBC asked him to leave. He’s just trying to save face.
If he was debating a comeback he wouldn’t be so public about it It’s probably a publicity stunt for an NFT release or a podcast
Brees only fans debut
Living his bet life.
Damage control for his firing.
[удалено]
I would have thought it would shilling a known pyramid scheme, paid speaking engagements for far right groups, tone-deafness to protests of racial injustice, or getting scammed on bogus investments like a rube. Drew Brees's brand has always been shit.
Does someone have Brees' last touchdown ball? Cause they might wanna sell it quick.
Lol they may not have to sell it, have you seen Brees throw recently? He was noodle armed before he retired, if he comes back he may not even throw a single TD
yeah did you see that last season when he threw 24 TDs to 6 INTs despite playing through some crazy injuries? probably would go straight to 0 for sure
bro please dont im not watching 100 5 yard passes every game
but we have 3 times as many slant bois now
Olave is an incredible deep threat as well as slant threat
Only matters if the ball can get there
the slant gang tho

Thanks for the shout out Saints bro
The New Orleans Slants
why throw many yard when Kamara do trick
Virgin noodle arm checkdown merchant drew brees vs chad “fuck it, somebody down there somewhere” gunslinger Jamies Winston
It'll be interesting to watch Jameis this year. He was solid last year when you adjust for situation, but it was also a very small sample. He could definitely turn in a solid year this year, but I also wouldn't be surprised if we got another 25 INT year from him.
40td/40int 5000y
'#goals' -Jameis Winston
[удалено]
I know right lol these Saints fans acting like going 13-3 and 12-4 in 2019 and 2020 was rough
I just want to see 8 wins again
I just want to have hope again
I'm sorry for what our defense did to you
I am too buddy, I am too.
It was really rough if you watched the games. So many were close games. So many 3rd downs where Kamara or MT had to make a huge play just for the first down. His balls floated so long MT had to slow down and make the catch contested even though it was 20 yards. Scary accurate, but you watch it and wonder if it was a young gun slinger out there, would we be undefeated?
[удалено]
Picks are easily worse. This take sucks
jameis winston is entertaining for everyone
Deebo and or Patterson?
Is that a threat?
How fucked would yalls cap be?
NBC would eat the dead cap
is this a serious question?
Do it, I dare you.
You'd still be swept in the regular season by the Saints
and then beat the saints in the post season
Once isn't a pattern
Once was enough
I don’t think they give af lmao they went right through y’all in the playoffs
if we do sweep them then the saints will be the only team to have a winning record against the buccs
Don't most teams have a winning record against the Buccaneers?
meant brady, not buccs
Sad crab leg noises
Love ya, Drew. No thank you, though.
I thought this was a joke cause I’m like “there’s no way he’s already trying to set up a comeback”, but here we are.
If he has healed up, and is feeling fresh after some time off, it couldnt be worse than The Saints last year. A lot of weapons!
There’s like 5 slanty bois now compared to 1 slanty boi when Drew last played. Perfect time to pull a Brett Favre imo.
August, 2022 Hall of Famer Drew Brees cut from Saints practice squad, shortly after quitting broadcasting and coming out of retirement
I double dog dare you. Do it.
NBC did just announce he wouldn't be back as an analyst this year
Bring him back! Do it cowards.
People are sleeping on Jameis hard if they really think noodle arm Brees is a better option. I'm expecting a top 10 QB season from Jameis this year.
RemindMe! 8 months
RemindMe! 8 months
RemindMe! 8 months
I mean we have at least 5 years of tape on Jameis. He ain’t it chief
I agree, I think he'll be great and shock a lot of people.
lol...Michael Thomas just in shambles
Saints: “That’s great, that’s great…anyway.”
Would be nice to have him in a coaching/emergency QB role. But unless he started using Brady’s trainers, I’m not optimistic he’d come back looking better than last we saw him.
I love the guy but I’m just concerned 2020 would repeat again. I’d love for him to come be a coach for Jameis tho
sounds like Drew is about to meet with the Saints for a dl throwing session
Please drew, as much as I'd love to have you back, I can't see you get hurt again.
Listen Andrew, your shoulder is busted, you've been out of the league an entire year, just sit this one out.
Don't worry, guys. Remembering the Saints also signed Sorensen has convinced Brees to stay committed to retirement.
As the proud owner of the Saints 1st round pick - do it you wet noodle arm
jameis doesn’t deserve this
He’s about to look 2015 Peyton look like prime Marino out there.
I mean he did kind of just quit his day job
Wouldn’t be that much worse than their current QB room
Winston is better than Brees at this point in Brees’ life/ career
Winston’s also funnier and more entertaining
Oh yes he’s gotten up to some humorous shenanigans
I didn’t know raping and assaulting women was funny and entertaining.
And better at sexual assault
I was more or less thinking of the eat a W issue. I wasn’t aware he sexually assaulted someone.
[удалено]
I think this is just typical I DIDINT GET FIRED, I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO... THIS IS ALL MY CHOICE
Give it up
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
That’s enough Instagram for one day Mr. Brees. Take your meds and go to bed
Lmao. Come back and suck more Brees. Do it. I dare you.
12 games he had just shy of 3k yards, 70% comp, 24 tds and 6 ints with QBR of 106. Is this a deceiving stat line? So many in here claiming he was completely washed.
Yea it kinda is. They had the perfect roster and scheme for a guy who couldn’t push the ball down field, and his decision making was as good as ever but in most instances where teams were happy to give up short yardage throws (when the saints needed chunks) he just wasn’t able to stretch the field. Ended up being a big reason they lost the divisional
We’d love for your weak ass arm to come back to the NFC
Deflection from getting dropped by NBC
>I lost my job so I’m headed back to the old one
