I have confidence that a 75% Brees is far better than a 100% Bridgewater. I have seen Teddy do just enough to keep us up there with the overwhelming help of special teams and defense. Do I have confidence that he can win a game on his own over what Brees can do now ... no.

But what either of us thinks matters not. The front office will make that call.

75% Brees in his prime, maybe. Not now. You're just throwing junk at the wall with that statement.

I'm not arguing that Teddy has been just good enough at times, but he's also looked pretty good at others. The defense has been the main difference, I agree, and they are about to face an underwhelming offense. The Saints did, however, just put up over 400 yards and 36 points on a top 5 defense, and we both know the Saints left more points out there. It'll be fine.
