This Is Why Drew Brees Wins Games

Nice post. If there has been a severe lack of contribution in regard to performance, leadership, respect, and game-changing playing-making from any one position over the last 15 years, it would have to be quarterback (although you could debate an equivalent lack at the linebacker positions, but don't get me going there).

AB just didn't get it. In the da-no-coach Ditka years, it was a revolving door of lack of talent. Chris Evert had big numbers, but it was not game-changing play-making, and flipping a coffee table over on-air was his biggest contribution to leadership. You'ld have to go back to the firey Cajun Cannon to get anything near this level. And guess what: they had linebackers then, too.

Yeah, I APPRECIATE Drew Brees!

Brees is the key to the offense, but a lot of credit is due to Payton who has surrounded Brees with players who WANT to play,and are intelligent enough to play. They are reminding me more and more of New Englands team, where they actually have a team, not a bunch of prima donna's doing there own thing in a half assed, confused manner (Aaron " I don't have a clue to what's happening" Brooks). They lost last year to good defenses, but were not outcoached but a few times. At last, they are fun to watch and the game isn't over by the end of the first half, with Brees in there, the game is never over till the last whistle blows.

he he... that reminded me of one time not so long ago that I "engaged in a lively debate" with someone on anotrher board who was proclaiming Charlie Clemmons a better LB than Brian Urlacher, and I was labeled a "negative poster"....

I wouldn't trade Brees for anyone in the NFL, IMHO he's the best in the league.

Hey, watch it Tobias-Reiper -- that kind of negativity against Clemmons might get you kicked off . . .
