Cassell has looked ty elsewhere. With the Patriots you get the benefit of knowing what the defense is doing, where the open man is etc...other teams don't have that. I'd roll the dice with Weeden imo.
also what Gemini Method said.
Worst loss as a Saints fan. Only other sickening loss was the Royals losing Game 7 last season to Bumgardener. The Hornets losing game 7 to the Spurs is a distant 3rd.

1. Saints-49ers Loss. Brees has a chance to beat Brady in the Super Bowl and vault himself into the conversation of the top 5 all time with 2 rings, one over Manning and one over Brady. Instead, he's in the latter part of the top 10.
2. LSU-Bama BCS Championship. Embarrassing in so many ways.
3. Saints-Eagles 1992 Playoff Game. That 4th quarter was depressing. I really thought the Saints would make a run that year.
4. Hornets-Spurs Game 7. It put the team in a downward spiral.
Brees a top 10 all time QB ?
Pick ems
He's in the top 5 of every major passing category and holds numerous passing records. You couldn't find more than 10 QB's that could touch his resume.

Résumé aside, let me name some names (in no particular order):
Joe Montana, John Elway, Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman, Terry Bradshaw, Brett Favre, Otto Graham, Steve Young, Johnny Unitas, Bart Starr, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers are all objectively better...there are others, too
I even give Dan Marino an honorable mention over Brees despite the lack of a ring...Brees really isn't close.
Patriots ride the wave of Brady. After that, it is tumultuous waters.
Every team in the South plays the same opponentspanthers and their paper mache schedule
Ready for the game, but sad to see Brees not playing. He was a big part that made the Panthers/Saints one of the biggest, most hostile rivalries in the NFL.
perhaps, but we have drafted a good qb with all the necessary tools and the rest of the team has been undergoing a total rebuild for the last two years, so we actually have one of the youngest teams.. I don't know, it's not looking good for the patriots haters.. Kinda looks like the spurs rebuild.
i won't touch the prehistoric guys, but you can't put Rodgers ahead of Brees as of now tbh.. at least you can't say it's objective..
Yes you can, peak Aaron Rogers > peak Drew Brees.
What do Rex Grossman, Alex Smith and Matt Hasselbeck have in common? They've all beaten Drew Brees in a playoff game.
well rodgers has been beaten repeatedly by colored qbs.. that's really not objective.. imo Rodgers is bound to have a better career than Brees, but he may also get injured today and never play again for all we know. Brees has been consistently very good for very long, that's gotta count for something...
Who would you take if you need to win a game, peak Aaron Rodgers or peak Drew Brees?
Eli Manning is colored? Kurt Warner, colored? Kaepernick and Wilson are mixed, I guess. Meh
no idea, it's a toss up, but the numbers say Brees.
What numbers say Brees? Be specific.
boys
Falcons' defense making Randle look like peak Adrian Peterson.
pass yards really.. went over 280yds only once (309) while Brees went over 280 every year since 2008 and once went for 342.
well, that was a quick one
Nice opening drive by McCown. He looks comfortable.
Patriots doing what we all expected them to do so far.
