I think "game manager" might be a bit over the top but I agree our game plan needs to change for road games.

Teams that win on the road can run the ball and play good defense. That formula has been true for years and years, I don't know why we expect Drew and the Saints to be the exception...

Belicheck never hesitates to turn Brady into a game manager...When Brady is a game manager they win and ever since they started letting him use the gun more..they haven't won...Go,back and watch some film of the great qbs..They manage a game until it's time to put on the cape and save the day..home or away!
Phil Simms a Hall of Fame QB and he was Game manager..
.Look at Aikman.If you ask me all qbs should be game managers...They win Super Bowls..
2009 Drew was a game manager

True. I think Game Manager has a negative connotation, it's what you call guys like Trent Dilfer. Decent QBs but not what you'd call "great."

I think Drew was, is, and can be great...just maybe not quite as great as he was a couple of years ago.

Teams that win on the road also protect their QB -- which if anyone noticed -- Drew almost got killed this year. Remember, the Rams. And what happened last time we went to Seattle on one of the first plays -- strip, fumble recovery, TD?

Our O-line sucked -- everyone knows it -- we didn't have a run game until the last game or two of the regular season -- and our WR corps often looked like their hands were numb.

But, anyway, if some people want to run down the biggest miracle this team has ever seen ( hint, his name is Drew Brees ), go ahead and look like an idiot. Be my guest.

I think it's because the Saints run game has been very inconsistent over the last 7 years, One year it's good the next it's not. But Drew, on the other hand, seems to be able to get 5,000 yards every season and put the ball in the tiniest spots 40 yards down the field. Even our run game has usually been set up by the pass. So we've all become used to it. We expect Drew to carry us because he has so many times.

Maybe it's time to change to a run first team. It looks like we have all the pieces. Maybe we pick up a right tackle and center in the draft or free agency and make the run game a primary focus.

Since Brees is golden in the Superdome and sucks hind tit on the road, leave Brees at Jimmy John's on road games!

I have a better idea, why don't we leave you at Taco Bell and find someone better to replace you on these boards.

Someone is feeling froggy today!

That is too funny Drew slicing sandwich meat while we play Chicago on the road. Unlike the Rookie some of us appreciate the humor!
