I misread Brees , I thought his arm was losing juice turns out nobody's open ! The last time someone was open was Meach over the top which Brees placed beautifully.

The heavy utilization of Sproles in the pass game is a telling sign that nobody is open as Sproles the check down.

I'm not saying we need to do anything crazy as I am in love with stills but one has to ponder what Brees could do with a Fitzgerald , megaton or Julio Jones.

I think it's time we gave Brees a real threat.

Marquise Lee is the highest decorated receiver since AJ green and Julio Jones ... We both know how those turned out.

In the Brees/Payton offense, there is a true #1 receiver:

The receiver that is open on any given play!

The diversity of the attack is precisely why it works. Key on Graham, go to Sproles. Key on Sproles, go to Colston. Double up both Graham and Sproles, look for Meachem or Stills over the top.

Colston is so quiet you simply do not pay attention to the stats. 6 1000+ yard seasons. Brees/Colston is the most active QB/Receiver pair in TDs and completions in the league today and I believe now in the top 5 in NFL history. Colston would be a superstar on any other team.

With 5000+ yards of passing and nearly 600 completions each season, there's more than enough balls for Brees to spread around. There's no need for a "Gimme the damn ball!" diva receiver on this squad.

Why would you mess with an undefeated team with a top 5 offense?
