B.Cooks Questioned Drew's Arm Strength 4 Years Ago

Mike Thomas throwing Drew under the bus on twitter right now talking about his lack of arm strength.

I read if we trade Mike there is like a 20m plus hit so I don't see that as an option. Diva's don't have much longevity under Payton.

We all heard about there being an issue with the team and Thomas’s this year but I never thought much of it. I wonder if he’s been unhappy because Payton chose to ride it out with brees instead of making a switch to Jameis.

I honestly understand bogus side of that if it’s the case. Payton isn’t going to bench brees out of respect no matter what, and Thomas wants a Super Bowl.

That’s not at all how I interpreted it. MT just made an observation about coverage when the QB doesn’t throw deep much.

Yea WWL is making a big deal out of it but I think they are reading too much into it. Either way he’s not wrong. He will be fine.

Cooks was right. Thomas is right. Brees shrank in the playoffs for years because his Noodle Arm would get exposed. It’s old news. There’s a reason Payton was trying to get Mahomes. I’m tired of talking about him. I don’t want to hear anything about Brees and the Saints until they induct him into the HOF.

Yeah, it was Brees arm that caused the Minn Miracle...and the Rams Comeback...

I’d say those 2 interceptions Brees threw in Minnesota didn’t put us in the best position.

I’d say even after the no call in the Rams game we got the ball first in overtime and he threw an interception then too.

I’d say the second time we played Minnesota he threw a very costly interception and fumbled on a crucial drive that Taysom Hill actually started.

I’d say the 3 interceptions last week weren’t the best look.

7 TD’s
6 interceptions
65% completion percentage
885 yards

That’s his last four playoff games. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, let that had been Teddy Bridgewater’s stats over the span of four games. He’d be talked about like the second coming of Aaron Brooks.

I don't get it dude...I think everyone was appreciative of what Teddy did while the starting HOF QB was injured. It wasn't as if Teddy led the stat columns this year in NC.

Also, it is very obvious Cooks didn't pan out with us, NE or the Rams and who knows about Houston, 4 teams in 6 or 7 seasons three of those with us. When players such as Cooks, even as Thomas has shown himself this year, that it is more about them than the team it is a problem.

Thomas is a stud receiver, but I must say his connection with Drew helped him gain his reputation in the league as Drew has done with many receivers in his career. Guys that have gone on to not contribute much with other QB's.

Has Brees declined, yes, have we had any viable options to start in his place, no.

If our cap space is not what it is, it would be great to give a guy like Stafford a chance at a second life, but it is what it is. If the frog had wings he wouldn't bump his on ground when he hopped.
