I love Brees and I truly appreciate all the things he has done for the team, state, and fans in general but he has brought this offense to a crawl. There is only so much you can do within 5-10 yard of the line of scrimmage. I’m actually excited to see what SP can do if we open the offense up. |

Re: Observations from yet another Saints early exit in the playoffs
Going to make one point here, because others have summed up most of the thoughts already.
Drew Brees has held this team back for 2 years (potentially 3). If I had to rate Drew as a QB when just looking at the last 2 years, he would be in the bottom 10 of the league. Yes, replacing Drew when he was prime Drew will not be possible. However, Drew hasn’t played at elite levels in years. I actually believe that both Winston or Hill would be upgrades compared to the current Brees we see. Going forward our cap situation is more of a concern than not having Drew. |
The Saints are 0-42 when running the ball less than 15 times in a game.

That’s what hurts me the most about this season. This was honestly the first year I felt going in at the start that the offense was going to be an issue and it surely was. |

That’s saying something. |

We've seen what Jameis is in this league for five-plus seasons... Everyone, and I get it, is judging Taysom against Brees career; well, can we see Taysom over the course of a season? Can we give the guy more than a handful of games to acclimate to the NFL? Even Brees was benched a couple of times before he got clicking as a veteran free agent with the Saints... To be really honest, I'd hoped we ride with Taysom this season, felt Drew just didn't have the stamina to play 16 and a tournament... And if Taysom were awful, the resultant record would have put us in a better position to grab a franchise QB in the draft... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
