I'd grab a QB whilst we have the chance and let him learn. I'm just worried about the teams mindset now, I'm sick and tired of all these devastating last minute/second losses, how must they feel. |

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
For years Brees had decent offensive weapons but no D support. He never had a legit No. 1 receiver but a better than average No. 2 and 3 and tight end made up for it since he historically spread the ball around. Some years the O line was suspect, but Brees' ability to gets rid of the ball quick and the short passing game kept him in the top tier of NFL passers. The result was a slew of 7-9 seasons.
Last and this year things changed. The D is now much better than average. Very good D line and LB play. Pressure on opposing QBs improved DB play. The problem is Brees' only has one dependable receiver to target. Actually he has a legit No 1 for the first time as a Saint. Two if you add in Kamara. When the O line was healthy he had time to allow other receivers to get open. With a injured O line he was down to 2 dependable receivers. Cover those two and the offense struggles. That is one reason why the his numbers and points scored dropped off later in the year. Next season needs a reliable tight end, better backup O line men and upgrades at No 2 & 3 receivers. |

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
Wish List this off season ...
Get a real TE O line depth Solid #2 WR. Nothing against rookies or UDFA (as your #4,5) but you need legit players/proven vets deep in the playoffs. Shimmy Rankins was missed in the middle. We were just a hair late in getting to "Golf". Hopefully the core guys are back in 2019. Maybe the Saints FO get aggressive in FA and/or trades. |

There is no doubt drew is not the drew from 5 years ago but he is still a top 5-10 qb. When he leaves we are done for awhile. SP has crapped away our draft picks so no qb this year. No way we would have made the playoffs with trashy teddy.

I know it’s not his fault but I have been saying it all year, TLL is gonna cost us a game. I believe Kamara in on same play gets that call. TTL is just snake bit. Cost us last year against Tampa. Almost cost us with the fumble against Carolina this year. Too much trickery gonna on through season and this game. Alvin gets that call. Not TLL’s fault, but the guy just has bad luck.

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
I just dont understand the notions that I am reading. Drew has never been a cannon arm and his accuracy this year was better than it has ever been. Statically 2018 looks almost just like 2009 except he had 6 fewer interceptions this year.
20+ 2018 (58), 2014 (52), 2009 (58) Drew also has his most 4th quarter comebacks and game winning drives of his career this year. When his attempts and yards were a lot higher everyone moaned that stats didnt matter it was about wins, well we have the wins... still moaning and groaning... Dont like the QB, dont like the coach, dont like the owner... You a fan of the color pallet? |
