The Elephant in the Living Room?

So now we're faced with finishing out a horrendous season, in what should have been a possible first ever run to the Super Bowl.

Why?

I know that bashing the O-line, play calling, and Jason David are the targets du jour, but why doesn't anyone mention the elephant sitting in the middle of the living room:

The Jekyll/ Hyde performances of one, Drew Brees?
Bottome Line: When the Brees blows fair, we look like champions. But when we're losing. Brees just blows...

Seems to me with all of the many glaring deficiencies exposed on this team this season, with the exception of a few threads touching on the subject, we haven't really taken a close look at our Golden Boy. The success of this team has largely ridden on the arm of #9 since his arrival in NOLA, but for reasons unknown, he has fallen far short of the mark and has been unable to recapture the 'lightning-in-a-bottle' of 2006, but here's some interesting numbers:

Drew's stats after 10 games- 3 fumbles lost/ 14 interceptions for a worst in the NFL -10 turnover ratio. In our 4 games won: 1 INT. Anyone else sensing the pattern?

Simply put, you can't win games if you don't score points. You lose chances to score if you turn the ball over. That part of the equation isn't Rocket Science!
