Should Saints "Romo" Brees?

There was nothing stupid or illogical about keeping Prescott as the starter. The team was playing very well with him as the QB. Just because you disagree with the decision does not make the decision stupid. It also wouldn't have been stupid or illogical to put Romo back under center. Both choices had merit. And it sure as heck matters that Romo had missed more than a seasons worth of games due to injury over the 2015 and 2016 seasons. Injury concerns always matter. The Brees/Bridgwater situation isn't a close comparison.
This is false. Unjury concerns matter for roster spots, not for playing the better player. And it is illogical to start the lesser player for the lame "hot hand" theory.

i hope they put brees back in, which obviously they will.

i enjoy watching him throw interceptions to lose playoff games....last years overtime interception was sensational can't wait for this years version.

Great, but old QB goes out with injury, in comes young possible future QB. Does not lose a game. Team responds and is rolling. Do you upset the apple cart?

Interesting...
Oh good grief... Brees has a thumb ligament injury. Romo had a compression fracture in his vertebrate, which is caused by a thinning of the bone usually as a result of osteoporosis!

I'd say Brees comes back. I'd say this would be the one time a team goes back to the starter. The Saints have a much higher probability of going to the SB with Brees.

More importantly, does Allen give up the starting QB job to Cam Newton ??? I say no.

I don't think Cam gets his job back either. But I do think Brees is coming back this week.

Brees plays at another level majority of his games. You can easily add 10 points to every game they played without him and that would be the final score with him playing.

Completely different type of injury. Brees hurt his little thumb, romos injury was much more debilitating. And Romo ultimately took himself out as a starter.
