But he just signed that 5 year extension, which lasts 5 years and certainly doesn't have a bunch of dummy years that are going to extend New Orleans' cap hell.

The Saints gave up on the idea of a meaningful transition from Brees to whatever era comes next for New Orleans years ago. At this point, eating one season with $18m of dead money is worth whatever relevance Brees gives them in the now.

Yeah it's always hilarious in GDTs because someone always comes in and sees Drew throwing a bad pass because we have no defense and are down by a ton late in the game and the common thing is "Brees is done, he's been in decline forever lol" and you can just point on him being on the cusp of 5k yds almost every year.

I mean he misses some throws he might have made 7 years ago sure. But, the dude is still amazingly sharp compared to all but 3-4 other guys in the league and with an even slightly below average defense would be in the GOAT conversation.

Brees passing yards by season:
2011: 5476
2012: 5177
2013: 5162
2014: 4952
2015: 4870

Buddy, I hate to tell you but that is a literal decline in numbers. Drew Brees is toast.

At his current pace, he's going to barely crack 4500 yards in 2019. I don't know why you think he isn't the problem!
