Offseason needs

Don't flame me, but I'd include QB in there without hesitation.

I'm not trying to be negative, but Drew had a pretty crappy second half of the season if we are being honest.

After not throwing a pick for around 8 weeks, he then throws a pick in like 7 straight games.

Flip back to yesterday, Brees was missing wide open receivers all over the place, there were 2 consecutive third and long plays where he threw to a covered Dan Arnold when Tre'quan had come free over the middle with no defender, then Brees badly missed a wide open Ginn on the next play.

Inside the 10, just threw the ball at Thomas feet which stopped the clock.

His arm strength is waining and he's aint the gun slinger anymore, it's sad but teams play down more because they know we don't have much of a vertical passing game anymore.

In the playoffs you have to look beyond your top two receivers. Smith hasn't showed up. Looking at NE, Brady's throwing TDs to Dorsett. The two players who caught our TDs were Griffin and Hill, a QB. Smith should have never even been a factor given his recent track record. Whose to say Smith would have even caught that pass being open? Smith has to learn to create separation, something he didn't do on that TD play. But there was no one else. Carr and Kirkwood were both out. We sure as heck cannot trust TLH. So, who was left? our fullback and the aforementioned guys who caught TDs.

Unless Payton is convinced Bridgewater is the future, I agree. But a once in a franchise history QB like Brees has to be given every chance to prove it was just a slump. I don't want him to leave anything on the table when he walks away.
