Why can Brady do it at 42 and Brees can't do it at 40?

Screws and Anchors in his chest and Brees has thrown more passes than Brady over his career.

Bound to have taken its toll over the years.

Probably an unpopular opinion and may get flamed, but Brees was a big reason why the offense slowed down near the end of the season.

After the Dallas game he became indecisive and lacked any real zip on the ball. He missed a ton of throws vs the Rams when he just pulled the trigger on his first read without scanning the field.

I would say they keyed heavily on MT later in the season. All he really had was MT and Kamara. Ross is worth a 6 IMO. Drew can get it 30+ yards downfield. Not like he did in 2009-2011, but he can still get it out there. We have always had a posession WR at #1, a 9-route burner at #2, a quick slot receiver with hands. No Snead, Meredith washed out, and Ginn is getting long in the tooth. Ross and Uzomah are 2 inexpensive pick ups.

Not only no but hell no....injury bug, drops the ball. Speed is cool, but ya gotta lace the cleats and not drop the ball

No...
We can not use speed WR.. we need rout runners and physical guys that can catch.
Brees cannot throw deep with any accuracy, getting a speedy guy isn’t going to help.

I'm not familiar with him but it sounds like his stats aren't impressive. The drops concern me. Curtis Johnson has fixed several players, so the whoopin' stick might work with John Ross too. However, I agree that we need a possession receiver more than a deep threat.

John Ross ran 4.22 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine to break Chris Johnson's record of 4.24 set back in 2008.

He's fast, real fast. He's also 5'11" and 190 pounds. 10 pounds heavier than Ginn.

WillMacKenzie · 02-28-2019, 05:56 PM

No no. No no no. No. No, no no no.

No. No no, no. No no no no no. And, no.

No.

I wouldn't trade anything for him but if he was to become a FA I'd take a look.
