Got a feeling Brees is going to make people eat their words. Brees ranked at #13 last season. Considering that he only had one reliable receiver for much of the season, that in and of itself is amazing. With a major upgrade and tight end, a few new free agent pickups and hopefully more production from the sophomore class, his numbers will be going up.

I'll be satisfied if we can "dink and dunk" our way to Miami. Brady had no problem doing it last season.

Let Pat Mahommes & Ben R throw for a gazillion yards and have an early exit in the post season.

It's time to get back to da bowl fellas.

How can he put up an eye popping stats season with a good defense and a good run game. The field gets shorter and less ability to pass. Top that with Hill spelling probably more this season.

He doesn't need to carry the franchise on his arm anymore. We have a great running game and a solid defense. He just needs to be accurate and throw short passes to the open window.

Re: USA Today/Saints Wire: Saints QB Drew Brees not a favorite to lead NFL in passing yards

I wouldn't take this as an insult. Brees' yardage has dropped the past two years as our offense has shifted with Kamara stepping into becoming a huge play maker. This isn't a bad thing cause yards are not everything. Yards don't mean anything if you aren't translating long drives into touchdowns on the board.

You have to understand his age. Brees looked worn down at the end of the year when our offensive production tanked. The only reason the Pats are still going with Brady is cause they've adjusted their offense to a degree where he can game manage and isn't asked to throw it 40-50 times.

I’d much rather have a strong run game to keep pressure off him and have some balance.

If Trent Dilfer can do it, Drew Brees certainly can!
