With DLP I think the disconnect is two-fold.

One, he gets pushed back in to the pocket too far for Brees to comfortably step up as he has in the past. This means the outside pass rush has an easier time getting a hit on him. It doesn't register as a sack, or even a hurry, but it takes Drew out of his comfort zone.

Two, as previously mentioned, playing next to pro-bowl OG's will make just about any decent OC look a lot better than they actually are.

I have a feeling some team handing him a fat contract in the hopes of getting an excellent anchor for their O-line is in for a rude awakening.

And that middle push along with below average signal calling is something I was very disappointed at in his game this past season.

Nevertheless, with the salary cap the way it is, I'd be more than happy to have him back on an affordable but fair contract.
