I think that Drew's first order of business in each game is to keep his
record(s) intact...then worry about whether he wins or loses...or doing whatever it takes to win or lose...like run the ball more if needed that day.

I do not agree with your opinion but respect it. I seriously think Drew would rather take 4-0 with no record over 0-4 with it. Obviously this cannot ever be verified, but the year Drew had a chance at breaking the season passing yards and the Saints were out of it, he seriously under threw his WR and the record didn't happen. To this day I believe that was intentional.
