It's so easy to replace a QB who completed 70.5% of his passes, threw 24 TDs and 6 INTs, had 8.1 yards per attempt and a passer rating of 106.4. Not for his career. Those were his stats last year. He wasn't what he had been but he was still very very good. 67.9% 9TDs and 2 INTs, 5-1 and 72.7% 8TDs (4 passing, 4 rushing) and 2 INTs, 3-1 - those were Bridgewater's and Hills numbers in relief the last 2 seasons. That team was stacked and made a push to win a SB in 2020 with Brees, and they miscalculated, now they're having to tear it down because they're $100M over the cap. It doesn't take away from Brees career, but he looked brutal for long stretches in 2020. I live in NOLA and saw just about every game. When he came back from the rib fractures, Payton should have stuck to the running game and protected him the way they were doing with Hill, and the way Denver did with Manning. He was out of gas at the end of 2019 as well.
