dollars 2 donuts Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) Should he retire we will have seen two NFL QBs retire within a short time who, combined, have made almost half a billion dollars, just playing the game ($252 million for Eli and I just checked Brees...$244 million). Not judging at all, but just...I mean when you think about it...wow. Edited February 5, 2020 by dollars 2 donuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hill was the QB of the future, why was he sitting behind Bridgewater when Brees went down? He needs more time to develop as a passer? The guy is almost 30! Sounds like they just don't want to lose him. Wanted to protect him for the playoffs, which he almost had all of the big plays in btw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 ...Brees is in his "mo money" dangling mode.....potential salary cap issues never seem to be HIS consideration IMO.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even they can’t argue that. But it’s a very personal decision. Regardless of my career earnings, it’s hard to walk away from $25~ million. Maybe even more important, it’s hard to walk away form the thing that has been the center of your universe (family excluded) since you were a child. The locker room, the guys, the thrill, the competition, game days, etc. It’s a tough call, and I won’t judge anyone for their decision. On a selfish note, I hope Brady plays another decade, declining every year, but I’m not a very good person. One of the things I tell people in regular non football/sports careers, but it kind of applies here to in football too. Once you're eligible to retire, the need or desire to retire goes down and you end up sticking around longer than you thought. Now you can just leave when you feel like it.

I recall pondering these days when all these long-time starters would hang them up. With the poor record of success for QBs drafted, the NFL QB play could really suffer. Add to that the regression of recently drafted guys like Mariota, Trubisky, Mayfield, Goff, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Boo Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Like Drew was really going to allow Brady to eclipse any of his records. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I didn’t know Drew Brees announced that this would be his final season. Guess I missed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
