Here is something to think about. I've had surgery on my shoulder also and it took close to 2 years for it to feel like it did before I tore the rotator cuff. In my opinion Drew's shoulder is probably getting close to 100% and his velocity is starting to increase on him as his shoulder strength increases and this is causing some inconsistency in his throws. Now granted this doesn't excuse some of his decision making but it could explain some of the throws. Maybe I'm just grasping at straws but it is something to think about.

When Brees performs poorly I think it can be traced back to having almost zero protection. Get him under pressure and back-pedaling and it seems like an interception is a given.

And I wonder why (as well) that he's not using more receivers than Colston or Bush?! Last year we spread it around to Copper, Henderson, Colston and Patten? Why not now? (Okay, I know why we don't throw to Henderson...)

And for the love of God, why aren't we giving the ball to Stecker or Karney to pound it up the middle?? Granted, they won't get the yardage like Deuce but at least they'll run north and south and don't dance all over (and behind) the line of scrimmage everytime!

True,,, and what happened to Lance Moore? *

Patten and Moore had some great games this year, then seemingly dropped off the radar. Has Drew lost his ability to spread the ball around, or just doesn't have time?



*After Lance did that silly dance, he seems to have disappeared. Only 2-3 catches since then.
