I don't think he has lost his ability to win or to be an elite QB, I just think that he is going to get worse before he gets better. I think most of us that have competed in sports on any level know what that is like.
We may string together a couple of losses, then Payton will slap him in the face and tell him to get his **** together, then we will see Drew back in championship form.

Always enjoy your posts. I have an idea this is what is going on. Bobby said something along these same lines but used the word spoiled. A caller called in asked if it was a testament to how well our defense is playing and Bobby saind no about 10x and then kinda got off topic without elaborating. I just really hope that as much as he has been forced to throw these past couple of years on a surgically repaired shoulder is not catching up to him. Even so, even when Drew starts to decline a Drew at 70% of what he has been is better than half the qbs in the league and with good coaching, a solid running game, and top defense we can still be contenders for 3-4 more years before having to rebuild.
