Chiefs are looking.
Pats will be looking.

They should make him a WR and bring back Deuce.

Dr.Knockboots: slot receiver, like the Pats Welker.

If he's willing to take a pay cut and shift, that'd be awesome.

He has Raider written all over him.

muck4doo: He has Raider written all over him.

Or sadly Redskin.....

downstairs: We don't need to be paying anyone star money, even if he was a star player.

You'd better pay keep paying Brees star money, I'll tell you that much. Without him, Saints struggle to make the playoffs.

Watching him at Helix High School and USC..was insane! I always knew hed go pro...but was not sure if hed be a great pro or not.

But he has some crazy highlights in Helix and USC. Maybe he can find some place in the NFL where he fits in better. But the Saints..honestly dont seem to need him.

He would be a perfect fit in Philly now that it looks like Westbrook is really at the end of his career. They like to have a recieving running back with speed because of the amount of passing they do.

That is so blatantly obvious that it doesn't really need to be said.


The Saints need to pay Gregg Williams head coach money if that's what it takes to keep him, too.

Without him they struggle to make the playoffs? How often do they make the playoffs *with* him?

Remember....if you act now...not only do you get this...




we will also throw in this at no extra cost!!




ACT NOW!!

IAmRight: HulkHands: Hey, remember when it was a bad idea for the Texans to pass on him and get Mario Williams?

And look at all that great success the Texans have had with a star DE who has a whole 5 sacks this season! They've won so much with Mario that it's an excellent move!

If you're going to use a #1 pick on a DE, he better be better than Mario Williams.

He had 26 the last 2 years. From what people have been sayin, he has a bum shoulder this year. Who knows?

Saints are already acting like they won the superbowl.

I thought it was just their fans.

I'd let Bush go as well, unless he's willing to take a massive pay cut. They could spend a middle round pick on a tougher RB more in the "Deuce" mold (maybe Hardesty out of Tennessee?) and just continue playing a platoon at RB.

Let's face it, as long as Brees and that good OL is there...they're set.

To be 100% honest if they do let him go I could see him ending up in Cleveland or Philadelphia. Lewis is retiring at the end of the season and Westbrook is getting there, but Philly has some backs they're pretty high on.

Hell, maybe he can go back up LT in SD until LT calls it quits.

What the hell are you talking about?

JOHN MCENROE MY CHILDHOOD NEMESIS: Hell, maybe he can go back up LT in SD until LT calls it quits.

Even the 4'8, 85lb Sproles is a better inside runner than Bush.

Put Bush and Vick on the same team. Two overhyped mediocrities.

I'd like to see him stay in a capacity that suits his talents (and our payroll), which I still believe are considerable, but if he does get traded... please not to the Falcons or the Panthers. He'll become the best running back the game has ever seen and we'll get to see him twice a year. I would say the Bucs too, but so far they don't seem to have a history of scooping up our players and turning them into the Saints' nemeses.

downstairs: I've seen him run for like 500 yards in a game. Unfortunately 490 of them were sideways.

Seriously though, the Saints can throw to like 8 guys, and run a bunch of others. We don't need to be paying anyone star money, even if he was a star player.

They'd better get Drew Brees that star moneyyou are a puppet: beerrun: downstairs: We don't need to be paying anyone star money, even if he was a star player.

Lol. Don't forget they went to the NFC championship in Brees's first season. Without him there's no playoffs in '06 and they fail to win 5 games the last 2 seasons. And they certainly don't go 11-0 this season.

The defense was always the missing link on this team. Now that they've upgraded the players and added a new defensive coordinator, the window of opportunity has reopened.

Maybe people should stop treating Bush as a running back, and put him in as a "wildcat" option, a slot receiver, and slap him around so he learns not to dance so much.

A "wild-dat"?

He might be a good wildcat option, but the Saints are not a team that should ever, ever consider taking the ball out of the hands of their best player.

IAmRight

Holy farking shiat....a post mentioning VY and you didn't bash him. I can't believe it. Good on you for finally coming around.

He's too busy mocking Mario Williams.

Maybe Reggie could come back to LA and play for... Oh... Sorry...

Assuming Reggie is willing to be paid for what he produces the Saints should keep him. He could very easily fit in with the Eagles as others have said, but the Eagles management is well know for being cheap as hell so I don't know if they'd roll in and drop a bunch of money on him.

Personally if I'd Reggie, I stay in New Orleans, accept less and make up the difference in endorsements* and the fringe benefits of getting paid millions to play on a good team in warm weather.

*My understand is Reggie is still fairly popular locally/regionally down there, so he can likely pick up a few TV spots and the like?

downstairs: Cheops: He might be a good wildcat option, but the Saints are not a team that should ever, ever consider taking the ball out of the hands of their best player.

Exactly. Not every team can do the Wildcat. If you take the ball out of Brees' hands, it means you remove his ability to read multiple pass options and hit someone if he gets in trouble. Often times this final pass option is a 40 yard bomb for a touchdown.

I don't know football perfectly, but I wonder how many of his amazing passes were second or third options on the play.

A great many of them. Brees excels in all things quarterbacking, with the exception of scrambling, and that's only because he doesn't have to, not because he's incapable.

Obligatory "This is how goddamn accurate Brees is" video (new window)

Killer Cars: Obligatory "This is how goddamn accurate Brees is" video (new window)

The best part about that video was people around me were laughing about how Brees was going to be made a fool of in the Pats game as that video was being shown.


And then the game was played.

I think Bush would be a good slot receiver on any team.

He's fast, he can run routes (and learn to be much better if he had to) and he's a major threat in the open field. Besides Welker, who would really be better as a permanent short route WR?
