For the record, I have no "hatred" for Strief. He is what he is. I think he would be valuable as a backup, and he does his best. But he isn't close to being the seventh best tackle in the league. Every year one of these articles comes out, despite the fact that every year Drew is running for his life, largely from that side of the field.

Which rating sites do think are better?

I don't pay attention to any of them. PFF is constantly posted on here. Perhaps there are others just as dumb, but I haven't heard of any. I have watched this guy with my own eyes for years just like everyone else. The play on the field never matches what PFF says.

First thing I noticed from Game One was the improvement on the O-Line.
Brees spends much of the game upright, and no, its not just quick patterns.
Brandon Cooks would tell you otherwise.

Count me as one of the Doomsayers... I thought the Line looked horrific in
preseason, and I didnt expect Brees to be among the living at this point.
Im happy to be wrong.

Im a fan of Strief.
