End of the Drew Breed Era ?

hagan714 · 09-21-2015, 08:20 AM

I wont go this far. End of Drews era with the saints maybe. but not now

We do not have a starting caliber QB on this roster. Garrett Grayson? long shot. I see him as probably developing into one of the best backup QB in the NFL thus excellent trade bait.

If we tank this year the 2016 draft looks to have a better crop of QB than this year. Top 10 pick? Conner Cook still gets my vote to sell the house for if needed. Now your talking about taking this risk with a solid gamble of a franchise QB on the team.

If we make a move in the draft then I will entertain the the end of an era. Till then we will keep or 20 million dollar man on board and probably make him a 25 million dollar man when we resign him in 2016 or 2017.

Brees was always going to get to an end date. It ain't quite yet. I doubt he will have one of the best seasons of his career. However that line needs to be a lot better and he needs to go injury free.

How can you blame Brees??? Blame that bum that we continue to pay STRIEF!!! give him protection and maybe just maybe that was a touchdown pass

How do you explain the wounded ducks Brees through in that game?
Have you watched his press conference when he said he just didn't throw the ball well...

Brees holding on to the ball for too long is just as much of an issue as the line, and when he had the time to throw he couldn't get the ball there. He is done, now more than ever because he got hurt, but rather than make the tough call and bench him Payton will let him play. Brees will look like a shell of his former self for the rest of the year while we rely on the running game and defense to win games.

Listen, I didn't want to see Brees go out like this but after watching his post game presser and reading about the parts they edited out I was shocked at his attitude. I think, for the first time, he knows he's done.

The ducks came as a result of a hit Drew took, and that was a result of some pitiful blocking on Strief's part. Our O-line has been having it's lunch handed to them from Gerald McCoy & Co for as long as I can remember. So what I am struggling with more than anything is, knowing that, why can't we chip block or stunt or SOMETHING to help the cause?! Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over w/ different results expected.

When this team was at its peak, what I distinctly remember us being good at was, IN-GAME-ADJUSTMENTS. I just don't see it anymore. AM I missing something? It just doesn't seem to happen that way anymore. In years past, from the first quarter through the course of a game, you could ALWAYS see us make some type of adjustment and I can't find any examples of that happening these days.

Maybe it's all relative. Maybe those adjustments were easier because we had more depth, and the bad drafts, poor contracts, etc. are all just magnified as a result.

Hopefully the rumors that Brees tore his rotator cuff aren't true.

blackangold · 09-21-2015, 11:28 AM

Can't be happy with this stat, but it's very likely Brees was injured;
"Brees was just 2-of-12 on throws of at least 15 yards down the field Sunday (16.7 percent). That was his worst completion percentage on such throws in the last 10 seasons, according to ESPN Stats & Info."

I don't think there is a question of Brees being hurt but rather how bad is it, he clearly can't throw the deep ball.

The BNG is the place I go so that I can be knowledgeable about my Saints. We have so many great members who bring in and share tremendous info. Our members help keep me sane when things go wrong...........

Having said that "Stop with the doom and destruction talk"!!!
We have already taken steps to turn the team around. Now give it time! There will be growing pains but we are growing and getting better. Who Dat!

Admittedly, I haven't watched a game this year, but what happened to "Brees is in mid season form" as the preseason ended?

He was until the hits on his shoulder.
