I know your joking, but I don't fully agree with your definition of "upside," because as I see it Daniels doesn't have the skill-set or the potential to ever reach the level that Brees is at this moment or will be when he finally retires someday.

When I mention the "upside" of a certain player, I always refer to his potential to be better than the other guy I'm comparing him to. As I understand it, you consider the whole concept of "upside" as ridiculous, and like to evaluate players based on their abilities and performance at the current moment with no regard to the near future. Still, I would think that there is something to be said about thinking ahead, which is how "dynasty-like" franchises are made.

Please don't take this as an attack on your point of view... just as a comment to your previous comments about the subject. http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/fun/m0109.gif

We just will not know until Sept 8 when the games count and its time to make the push for the Superbowl. Unfortunately, I think this year every game will count in our division. Drew will have the advantage this year of not having to carry the weight as much, like in the past. It appears a running game, and a stout defense will ease his burden. A less than par pre-season is probably a good thing for him to get his head right moving into the season.

Chase does have some upside, but his ceiling is likely still way below Drew's.

We'll find out this weekend. If Drew has another bad day, we're probably in big trouble.

He's human. When the games count your can bet your ass he will be ready. The guy works harder than any other QB in the league

Rugby, I hope you are right about this. Because, I remember it the other way around. I seem to recall our O having an extreme tightness, and I remember there being a buzz in camp about how "on" our O was. Nothing was hitting the ground.

So, maybe I am wrong in my recollection. Hoping your memory is better than mine on this front!!!

Aaron Brooks was trouble. This is Drew Brees. He can have four bad preseason games. He's his own worst critic. Again, no worries from me.

Unphuckingingbelievable... some of you nitwits are turning on Drew?
That does it. You're no longer a Saints fan. You have to move to Atlanta.

Disloyal dweebs.

Drew is the man. More than any of you likely will ever be in your entire life.
