Has anyone else started cringing when Drew throws the ball? He looks shaky and not as sharp as he use to be. Any legitimate concerns or have we just become too spoiled to his Hall of Fame ways?

HE is getting older, and some of his accuracy seems to have deminished but even so he is still better than 95% of the QBs in the league. I do think it is time to draft a QB. Let him sit behind Brees for a couple more years and let him take over. I think Brees has 2 more seasons in him. One thing I have noticed is that he is MUCH better about taking a sack. Instead of dumping it off when he goes down he tucks it and takes the sack. Most of his interceptions have been because he was in trouble going down and tried to pitch the ball.

We barely have the salary cap to afford two bags of Fritos and a Barq's. And, based on a projected 20-32 draft position, it will be highly doubtful that a "Brees" quality college passer will be available even if we could afford to keep 30% of the cap space dedicated to one position, especially when only 1 player would ever see the field.

our next QB won't be drafted, he'll be another FA pickup - tossed from a team who never had the right coaching staff...
