Brees on the Bench

I totally agree that Brees isn't playing up to snuff this year, but I'm a little tired of people thinking Breese did it all last year, and it entirely responsible for all our problems this year.

Receivers have to get open, then catch the ball, linemen need to keep them off, the D needs to stop people, needs to be ready for trick plays, the coach needs to ready them for trick plays. Hell 14 of those points were from trick plays, that no-one had prepared for. Where was the guy that watches for some odd guy 40 yards away from the center of attention on the ball?

No, it wasn't just Breese, and when you start benching your starter, then you open up a can of psychological worms.

I might've played the whole second team on that last drive, as it was really hopeless. Might as well let them have a go, just to get some game experience.
