You're right, he had some bad games and they cost us probably 2 wins this year. On the other hand without him playing like the superstar he is in most of the games we definitely wouldn't have won 7. Dropped passes also cost us at least two games this year.

How many of those interceptions happened because Brees had to throw passes he wouldn't have unless he felt like he had to score every time we had the ball? How many of them were forced because no one was open? We scored 29 pts per game and still lost 9 games. Think about the implications of that fact. What do think that does to a QBs decision process? Knowing the 30 points a game isn't enough to win means you're going to have to take some chances you'd rather not have to make.

Criticism is one thing, haterade is a whole different thing and that's what I find repulsive.
