Obviously there is a natural decline due to age but he is not declining against his peers.

I've posted this before and it was ignored....

His stats tanked to the floor after Thanksgiving last year. They look even worse when you break them down game by game.

The defense was bailing us out of every game after the Cowboys loss, including playoffs. Our offense couldn't stop shooting themselves in the foot against the Eagles in the playoffs, then against the Rams they let that team hang around long enough to eventually steal the game.

Everyone loves to compare a good Saints team to 2009. That was a different season though. Both the Saints and Colts were built similar that year. They had opportunistic defenses and got hot by blowing through some really bad QBs. That was vital in building up the confidence we had heading into the final stretch of the season.

2009 Brees and 2018 Brees were different QBs and the 2009 offense had a lot more weapons on it. All we really had last year was MT and Kamara.
