Considering we led the league in 20+ yard plays this season, I'll take our cannon-less QB... Just depends on what direction the wind is coming from

You won't find many games where you'd take another QB over Brees but given the supposed conditions of today's game, the nod has to go to RWilson for the above reasons.

If you think about it critically, you'll realize I'm not typing while shaking Hawk pom poms and wearing Green/Blue shaded lenses.

That's not how I roll.

Of course that's how you roll. That's why you're here.
You're taking the second year QB that hasn't even been in an NFCCG over the seasoned Superbowl winner that breaks records every year.

Ummm... Yeah....

In 2013 the Saints (Drew) was 3rd in the NFL in passing attempts over 20 yards and 2nd in attempts over 40 yards

In 2012 the Saints (Drew) was 2nd in the NFL passing attempts over 20 yards and 3rd in attempts over 40 yards

In 2011 the Saints (Drew) was 2nd in the NFL in passing attempts over 20 yards and 3rd in attempts over 40 yards.

I'll let you look up his completion percentage over 20 yards. Most years it's the best in the NFL.

Pretty good for a "finesse" passer, huh?

(You really might want to look this stuff up before you post. It's pretty easy to find.)

Oh really? Well, what are you doin' here then? I'll give you a hint, one of two things: 1) Makin' yourself feel better about your team's chances today and 2) just tryin' to start some sh*t -- because you don't feel very good about your team's chances today.

Yeah, fearless and noble........ that's how you troll.

Of course we're prepared we do run everything out of 8 man fronts anyway.

Hey guys, listen up, this asswipe ain't even sittin' in the cheap seats. That's how big of a fan he is. Ignore em.

I don't care if they know we're running.
Run the damn ball!! That's how you control the line of scrimmage, break down their defense, and keep their safeties and LB's guessing. Doesn't matter if we only get 2 yards. Eventually we'll get 6, then 8, then 12. Then we beat them with play-action. But if we don't run, we have NO CHANCE.

I was right Oak, we had to throw to have a chance. We almost won but only after we started chucking it. I know what lost us this game.
