The only way I see Drew Brees actually playing is if he joins something like the Fan Controlled Football League, the way a few others have, to have fun. Sort of like a freshly retired bike racing deciding to enter gravel races, the Leadville 100, triathlons, etc. And not think about the money.
As far as the NFC west, I still think the big ? is the QB position in SF. Do they stick with Jimmy G, knowing the team is built to win now, but it's highly unlikely he'll ever get a team any further than a playoff game win? Or, do they roll the dice with Trey Lance, shifting the offense, and rolling the dice he'll be able to perform far better than he did in limited action last season?
I like where Seattle is going...in 2023 and beyond, but I don't see Geno Smith, or Drew Lock (or Gardner Minshew!) leading them to more than 10 wins, at best. No team's running offense or D is good enough to have a very average QB get the team far anymore. This isn't 1992. If they can get a good QB in a year or two, this team could have a very solid run in future years.
