How We Will Beat Seattle

I don't like to see Drew have to run - which of course we almost never see.

BUT

I'd sure like to see him do more of it because in so many cases I've seen us punt because rather than run for an easy 3 or 4 yards Drew will make a risky throw.

I guess I just wish he would take those 3 or 4 yards a few times a game so the defense would start reacting to the possibility which might pull them off a PT or Sproles or Khiry checkdown.

Am I crazy?

I think you are right on!! Yes, Drew needs to take some running the ball lessons at the Colin Kapernick and (gritting my teeth) Cam Newton school of quarterbacking. There is no shame in getting your team a first down ( or even a TD ) with your legs -- just don't take TOO much risk. I think Drew and Payton are finally subscribers. I hope I am not wrong, because we will need every type of weapon and trickeration.

Also, they are finally using QBKs. (head-banging here) Why in the he11 haven't we been doing this all year?!?!? (so frustrating).

I really want to see Sean at his gun-slinger play-caller best -- and not those asinine end-arounds.

I've been yelling this all season. If youve noticed, the last to games his runs have helped sustain drives and we've won both. #ijs

Drew is light years ahead of KC or Cam, he needs no running lesson from them. Brees is way better passer and just needs to manage the game better and stop the interceptions. Saying Brees should be KC or Cam is pretty stupid, hes a elite pocket passer. The others are not very good, and gimick runners, but not very good QB's.
I think Brees needs to check his ego, be a team player, and understand hes not going to win the game on his own. Be methodical, and take the sack.

Um, I don't know where you have been for the last few seasons but there are some new type quaterbacks in the game right now, and they are winning football games ( with their legs ).

There is talk of this type QB "changing the game". Notably, three (3) of these QBs are in the playoffs this season: Russell Wilson, Cam Newton and Colin Kapernick.
