That's it Drew has to many kids. :) :).

I'm not ready to replace Drew. He still has it but doesn't know where he put it.

Re: Drew Brees Is Not Playing Like Drew Brees

I want to see Brees hit Cook, Stills, Meachum, Colston 40 yards down the field and they all catch it in the back of the end-zone. And, I want to see this 4x in every game.

NFL.com posted the biggest 10 disappointments of the season.

Every week, Chris Wesseling will roll out the power rankings for one specific NFL position. So far, we have covered running backs, safeties, red-zone threats, throwing arms and quarter-pole surprises. This week, we turn our attention to the top 10 disappointments at the quarter-season mark.

On to the rankings:

1. New Orleans Saints: I thought the Saints would be Super Bowl contenders on the strength of an explosive offense and a defense that added Pro Bowl safety Jairus Byrd after ranking No. 4 in the NFL last season. Instead, the offense has lacked big plays as Drew Brees has struggled to stretch the field. NFL Films analyst Greg Cosell has posited that Byrd was playing as poorly as any safety in the league before he was lost for the season with a torn meniscus. Breakout candidate Kenny Vaccaro is ranked dead last among 78 safeties graded by Pro Football Focus.

The Saints are talented enough to remain the favorites in the NFC South, but they need to snap out of their early-season malaise

We are going to surprise a lot of idiots this year. Bank on it.

"dumbass" is a Brooksian term.

Please try to make a more coherent argument for why we should tolerate bad from our most expensive player other than, "he was once good a few years ago," and "he was at his best this weekend when he handed the ball to PT/KR."

:jester:

Xan you're ridiculous with your hatred of Brees. Yeah he sucked on Sunday but even best QBs go through rough spots and that's all this is. Do you seriously believe this team would be better with a bargain basement QB? Who do you think could come in here and legitimately beat him out?

The QB is going to be the highest paid player on the team unless he sucks or you have an Adrian Peterson or Calvin Johnson.

So I'll say it again your post on the subject of Brees are ridiculous. I know this is a futile post but I just had to say it.

+1..No shiznit! That bubble screen/wheel route is getting old. Cooks is a burner and with those jets, isolate him one on one. Eventually he will smoke someone.

Yes but how many times has he been hurried or had a defender right in his face?
Our run blocking is stellar but pass protection needs work.
