I really hope this isn't Brees's last year

The biggest concern with Brees is his age and the fact that his stats tanked so hard in the final month of the year. That's where we all have concerns going into this year.

Completely different from what Luck's case is. Brees has had a much longer career too.

I’m thinking Brees was more in pain then losing arm strength toward the latter. He got steam rolled by 3 players after a botched INT against the clowns. A pick that was called off for Pass interference. Just yappin.

After that game . Against the cowboys he had nothing behind that arm.

Not 0nly that he didn't have his O-line to give him time to step into the throw or look for the deep receiver. There were a lot of factors to his decreased play but I don't believe for a moment it was his arm strength. The back half of this season should be more telling of his true abilities.

As long as we have someone besides Thomas and Kamara for Drew to get the ball to then we won't be so one dimensional and he'll have more options besides throwing it away.

Everyone says Brady is still playing at a high level......well, so is Drew. He's had a severe shoulder injury and that needs to be factored in, but my gut says he could manage the game two years after his arm strength declines because he is so cerebral.
