Didn't Brees tie the league in most yards and nearly have another 5,000 yard season (48 yards shy)

Not to mention nearly a 70% completion rate
That with Graham and Colston having cases of the drops

Shore up that line - look out

The Packers game was an example

Hope we get a few breakout receivers this year

A failclowns fan with a sharp crayon could write a more informative article!

Yeah!
Like the lesser performance of the offensive line had nothing to do with it. We all know that greater pressure on a QB creates more opportunities for the defense to make interceptions.
Like the 30 dropped passes the Saints had, that included Jimmy Graham dropping 6.5% and Marcus Colston dropping 7.1% of the passes coming their way.

It's possible. We don't see Drew every day in practice like the coaches do. It's clear they're planning to move on from Brees due to drafting Grayson so I don't see how the article is all that far-fetched.

The Saints have Brees signed for two more seasons. He should play up to his contract over the course of that time. The wise move is let him play out the deal and see where the market is for him. A lot can happen to any QB, let alone one at his point in his career, in two years.

Brees should be fine over the life of his contract, and that should be all we should worry about.

Maybe so. But my point is about what has been going on the last couple of years. I guess if he never got hit he could play til he's 50. But unfortunately, that has not been the case. He can still play at a high level if he's protected, yes. That's not hard to answer. Do I think he's got the same arm strength to make all the throws down the field consistently as he used to? From what I see on the field, no. His decision making has, at times, been atrocious. To what do we attribute that? I really don't know. But seeing is believing. That's something that is completely mental, and whether he comes out of that I don't know. Hopefully if he has more time he'll think a little more clearly.

Sure arm strength is a little less.

But the "mental" thing... I don't agree at all. The only factor changing Drew mentality is 2-3 280lb players in his face before receivers get into their breaks.

Besides, he admitted trying to do "too much" to help the team win last year. At least he was trying....

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
