Why? Brees has had 3 consecutive 5000 yard passing seasons and has thrown for 4000 or more yards and 30 or more TDs in each of the last 6 years.

So exactly how is changing the receiver core going to improve the offense?

The line needs to be stabilized so that Brees continues to have time to throw for all those yards and TDs without being harassed or sacked.

I really don't see what can be done in the WR corps that will assist in that effort.

Please explain...

Ok.



Of our four top "receivers" - only ONE of those is an actual WR.

Brother, that is more of a function of utilization than skill. If Aliens steal the Ginger Giant the utilization looks entirely different.

And you think defenses didn't key on it, stifling our offense as a result?

That's a different conversation lol. One which we agree on.

That WR production started declining with Graham and Sproles coming in and being used more as receivers. That is all it is an indicator of because pass attempts and passing yards hasn't declined.

Not sure all new WRs would take targets from Sproles or Graham. Once Payton started trusting Stills he started getting more targets.

You know what I think is predictable? Graham is lined up on the left side of the line and when the ball is snapped he doesn't break into a route. $100 says it's a run to the left side of the field.

I have to question Graham lining up as a blocker anyway, if he can't block why the crap would he be out there, he isn't selling the route or blocking, it's a disaster in the making. We have gotten way to predictable. I also agree with Graham and Sproles getting targeted to much taking away from the recievers, it's like a crutch you get to use to having then become totally dependent on, and that is predictable also. If I as a fan know this I bet most DC's out there have picked it up also and to think our high powered O was flat all year and our D bailed them out all season. I'm not a betting man but at the start of last year you would have told me our O was going to stink up the place and our D would be the reason we went as far as we did, my reply would have been your crazy, now I ask myself with the same cast of characters returning on the O is it going to be better or worse, we need up-grades, I am tired of being predictable.

Second in the NFL in total passing yards and fourth in the NFL in total yards = "stink up the place"?

That's a pretty high standard you got there.

Armstead had a bad game against Car (first game played) then after that pretty much smoked the rest of our line in grading.

Was there any constant rytham or total domination or real consistancy in this O all year? Stats really don't tell the story. And how many games do you think we would have won without the D, my guess would 8 maybe less, I don't think that those standards get it.
