Brees under-throwing some passes

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Does anyone think Payton decided to beef up the run game for no reason? Surely he is a pass-first coach. So why waste the resources on the run game? Does Sean see something we don't see? Maybe? Just my observations...

I had to laugh on this one. Connor Culp is actually still in school (LSU Tigers) as a place kicker but I knew you meant Cooper Kupp (Rams WR). These two get mixed up all the time by CBS/ESPN analyst.

Read here what scouts stated were Kupp's biggest weakness:

WEAKNESSES A little upright though his routes. Lateral quickness out of breaks underneath provide no early separation. Operated as big slot but could lack separation quickness to open clean throwing windows underneath for NFL quarterbacks. Build-up runner who doesn't seem to eat up the early cushion. Some scouts question ability to be a productive starter as outside receiver. Excessive fakes and jukes into breaks at times; will need to win with more efficient routes. Protracted gear-down getting into breaks for deep comebacks.

He's been the exact opposite.

Our O line was getting blown up. Ingram wasn't finding holes. Kamara had some good runs, however it wasn't like we were dominating and stopped running. We couldn't run or pass.

Two qbs in this league better than Brees and one can't stay healthy. Give me an accurate but weakened arm Brees over 30 other starters.
