New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees recently posed the question, "Why can't the Saints win the Super Bowl?" He gives his reasoning why he thinks they have as good a chance as anyone, and more.

Drew Brees is entering his 14th NFL season, and says that the pursuit of another Super Bowl is his primary reason why he's still playing.

"We have as good a chance as anybody," Brees told USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday.
"We still have a lot of work to do. But I know this: we are an extremely well-coached football team. We've got one of the best head coaches in the league, Sean Payton. We've got the best fan base in the league. And I think we've shown consistent performance over the last eight years.
Why not the New Orleans Saints? Tell me why we can't win the championship."

The Saints have retooled both their offense and defense since their huge Super Bowl win in 2009. This offseason alone they let go of four defensive players that were on the 2009 team, and picked up the much wanted free agent Jairus Byrd and Champ Bailey. They also let go of Darren Sproles and Lance Moore on offense.

Jimmy Graham has been out due to his contract fight, but Brees seems confident that come week 1 that will be all worked out. He went on to say that the roster upheaval is one more reason another Super Bowl title would be meaningful.

"It's one thing to have one (ring). It's a completely different thing to have two, especially when they would be five or more years apart," said Brees, who spoke by phone while promoting the Can-Am Spyder sport-touring vehicle.
"It's not like you win back-to-back championships with pretty much the same team and players, same core players. We've got a lot of different core players now that were not there in '09, so this will be a completely new team, completely new challenge. That's what keeps it fun."

Drew Brees is a class act, and I know that I feel confident in letting him lead our Saints this upcoming season and beyond!
