Re: Report: New Orleans Saints concerned about decline in Drew Brees

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....
