The number of decisions also go up, good and bad, and he's thrown a few that he should have been thown into the 10 row. Drew is one of the best. He has been healthy, real or perceived, for his entire Saint tenure. I would hate to have the weight of all that new money crank up the jinx machine.

There were some poorly run routes that the average could see and perhaps some incorrect routes not seen by fans.

Bottom line, the guy is the most important Saints player of all time. How do you quantify that? You can't but he deserves a large sum of money.

But you're right. He's gonna get a big raise regardless.

That's what I'm thinking.

We have to take the good with the bad but sometimes I wish Drew would just take the sack instead of throwing into double or triple coverage especially on first down. That's my only beef.
