 Drew Brees is 41 years old on the tail end of his career on the final leg and that could mean a lot of things that could mean final three years two years one year three games it's a possibility mainly because of the comments that head coach Sean Payton made in an interview I'm gonna go ahead and pull that quote up and put it up on the screen as well this is what he said about James Winston, Taysum Hale and the quarterback future after Drew Brees he stated one of the attractions for James and I understand it was there aren't many places in free agency where you can go to a team and have a pretty good bet that that quarterback like Drew is going to be playing in his last year paint until the NFL's huddle on flow podcast that doesn't exist you go to a team and you're going to look for that opportunity to sometime be a starter he's going to have the opportunity the minute Drew leaves and both he and Taysum know that so I'm gonna pause right there because I want to go back and see what he said about Drew Brees's last year talking about James Winston about how the Saints were an attraction to sign because you don't get the opportunity to sign with a team where you're behind a quarterback like Drew who's going to be playing in his last year did he spill the beans I don't know we still don't know yet and Drew Brees probably still does not know yet either he's probably gonna take a couple months after the season to really sit down and make that decision before he decides to move on in the postseason as well was going to determine his thought process into that decision as well but shot Peyton mentally is he thinking oh man yeah Drew Brees is on this last leg of his career but is that leg gonna be ending sometime soon as early as 2021 will we have a new starting quarterback for the New Orleans Saints permanent starting quarterback let me go back and finish that quote so it just talks a little bit about Winston signed a one-year 1.1 million dollar deal so if they want to keep in New Orleans they have to resign him but this is what he had to say I've been proud of how that room has handled it James particularly because he's a competitor and he wants that opportunity Peyton said and listen I feel like and I said it a week ago I feel like a next quarterback is in the building it's Taysum Hill or James Winston according to Sean Peyton why is that big news why is that tie into Drew Brees potentially retiring after this season talking about Taysum Hill he's 30 years old we'll be 31 next season as a starting quarterback of the Saints he's been doing pretty well for the Saints as the starting quarterback but in that four games that he's had in replacing Drew Brees 72% of his passes completed four passing touchdowns two interceptions 96.9 quarterback rating and he's been rushing the ball a lot two to nine rushing yards four rushing touchdowns pretty solid and a four no record for the Saints as well with Hill as a starting quarterback they're confident in him and they're okay with him being the starting quarterback for the time being and giving Drew Brees as much time as they need as he needs to heal before he makes the decision to take him out and put Brees back in but if you look on what he's on pace to finish the season with 16 passing touchdowns eight interceptions he isn't known as this prolific greatest passer in the NFL Taysum Hill is at least he's better known as his rushing ability he's better known as the guy that came in for Sean Peyton and led the team to a four no record how long is that going to last though do you really want someone that isn't known for their passing ability and maybe this is true maybe this isn't true maybe NFL teams could expose him maybe NFL teams could shut him down and then all of a sudden Hill is no longer relevant in the NFL or do go with a guy like James Winston who is known for his passing ability the most realistic option for the Saints he's almost 27 years old and just a few days he's going to be turned 27 and that's proven that he can't pass the ball he just need to fix some mistakes here and there and throw a lot less interceptions for the Saints regardless Sean Peyton believes that the quarterback of the future is in the locker room they're not going to be bringing in another guy maybe like Carson Wentz or they might draft another quarterback a young guy but another veteran he doesn't believe it's going to be the possibility of bringing them in and replacing Drew Brees at all but those words by Sean Peyton it was head scratching and a lot of guys have come out and said yeah we believe this is Drew Brees' last season for instance Brett Farve who's been in that road of retiring then unretiring retiring he believes if if he can get in the head of Drew Brees and has any sort of say which I would trust his words based off of his experience of retiring he's saying that yeah more than likely this could be Drew Brees' last season so leave your comments do you believe that Brees is done after this year
