The thing about Brees is his ability to read defenses -- and the fact that he is not focusing only on the primary receiver on the play. The best QBs don't always have to have the strongest arms -- Joe Montana was not the prototype QB with a gun for an arm -- just a smart QB who had gained the respect and trust from his team -- and an accurate pinpoint passer. San Deigo will come to hate the day they cut Brees loose -- and New Orleans will mark that day on heir calendars as the day the organization turned around.

I agree that the deep ball is important but I really think that for the Saints to have a chance to win close games next year we need quality time of possession. In 05 our TOP was not bad but we could not score in the red zone. http://www.nfl.com/stats/teamsort/NF...r?&_1:col_1=15
I'd like to see more of the short passing or catch and run plays as they open up the middle for the run. What I'm getting at is I think that if Brees is unable to go deep early in the season I don't think it will hurt us a much as not being able to get it into the endzone when your inside the twenty. And when your in the red zone the deep ball is moot. |

It's a puff piece but thought I'd add it. |
