Drew Brees is staring down his last best shot

Brees has one more season left. Or at least as a top tier Qb anyway. Face the facts, he’s lost a step. Luckily we’ve tapped into some players to take the burden off of him so he doesn’t have to carry the team. If it weren’t for our running game and defense stepping up I think it would really take a toll on him. We may be able to get a couple more years out of him if our defense gets better and he gets a little more protection. He can make it as a smart game manager if he has to but the days of him airing it out to save the day are numbered.

What are you basing Brees only having one season left as a top tier QB and losing a step?

Father Time and the fact he’s been throwing short and under a lot more than he ever has. Plays like the pass to Ginn. It’s bound to happen. It doesn’t make him a bad QB or reflect on anything he’s done in the past. It’s just life.

I believe on the play that you are basing your comments on Brees was pressured and couldn't step into the throw.

I've seen Brady miss throws and I don't read anyone saying he has lost a step and isn't a top tier QB!

It is called terminal negativity. Always expecting the worst.
