A.qb like Brees should shine in the Pro Bowl, especially with the rules they play under. |

Just my thoughts but I think the offseason will be just what he needs. You get blindsided enough as a QB and you start shortening your throwing motion so you don't fumble on the arm cock... Like we saw against Seattle. Do it enough and it becomes a rut. He needs to rework his mechanics. |

Hopefully he will take a long look at his mistakes over this offseason and fix that as well.![]()
A revamped offensive line wouldn't hurt either |

Drew's passer Rating this season was a career 4th best at 104.7. Other than his completion percentage being down by 2.4% 2013 was a better year for Drew than 2009. Drew Brees NFL Football Statistics - Pro-Football-Reference.com We can not put the monkey on his back. ![]() |

Last year it seemed that every one he threw was due to a stupid decision and it seemed like almost all of them were avoidable and his fault. I didn't see much of that this year. Like I said I just hope the accuracy issue isn't an issue and is just a result of shoddy protection. His accuracy is his money maker. He doesn't have the arm Manning or even Brady does and we don't have that elite receiver that can make up for an errant pass. |
