It’s been four long years since Drew Brees retired. The New Orleans Saints didn’t have a plan for life without him, and their record is proof of it: 31-37, with just 14 wins in front of the home crowd at the Caesars Superdome. They’ve drafted quarterbacks, signed them as free agents, and held onto Sean Payton passion projects without success. That goes for Derek Carr, too. The 11-year pro announced his own retirement from pro football on Saturday, leaving the Saints with a big question to answer at QB (which rookie second-round pick Tyler Shough appears eager to answer).
So which quarterbacks have won the most games in the post-Brees era? Here’s a quick look at the records of every Saints quarterback who started a game since No. 9 hung up his cleats, ranked by winning percentage:
