Drew Is Coming Back For The 2020 Season

WillMacKenzie · 02-18-2020, 09:16 PM

Brees hasn’t had time like he used to to throw it. Compound that by clogging up all the throwing lanes and congesting everything up within 9 yards + Brees not as nimble = the recipe everybody has used to make Sean look terrible.

He can’t adjust to it and won’t grind it out on the ground. It’s just a vulnerability we’ve had IMO

For those of you complaining about Brees coming back, ya'll need to knock it off. Yes, Teddy had a good 5 games last year. But that doesn't mean he would have ended how he started. Teams would have eventually caught on. Drew knows how to adjust. It was not all his fault that the team lost to the Vikings. If the Saints can go into FA or the draft, get a decent 2nd receiver, some depth on the O line, fix up the secondary a little, they'll be fine. The main problem again, was they had a HUGE drop off after Mike Thomas on the depth chart. Smith is good, but not there yet, Ginn was way past his prime and the other guys didn't have much experience. You Drew critics who are beating up on him now, are going to hate it when he's gone and wish he'd come back.

Give Drew another WR and excellent to elite blocking from the guards and we're a player again.

I am excited to give Taysom a shot, so there's a tiny part of me that is disappointed, but with Drew at QB, and given another WR and some blocking and I'm excited for another year of Saints football. A much bigger concern is Roger dictating the outcome, but that's another thread...

One thing that is definitely lost on many people is that Brees was still one of the best performing quarterbacks in the league...

It came down to that horrible interception in the playoffs vs the Vikings where he was trying to keep the momentum we'd had with Taysom Hill trucking the Vikings...

Not using Latavius Murray more, pulling Taysom out when he was in BeastMode, Drew didn't make those calls...

That interception that Brees threw I will always think he was trying to match Hill's deep throw to show he still has it. Hill had 1 on 1 coverage on his throw while Brees threw into double coverage. That was a boneheaded throw for a seasoned qb. trying to create something that wasn't there. Totally agree on using Murray and pulling Hill, that's on Payton.

I'd like to think that was Brees testing himself, but he does it every year. Always seems to happen in the playoffs too, throws a dumb ill-advised pass.

He did it quite a few times the past season, he was just lucky that most of them were dropped by the DB's.

Not only that he had the best completion % and TD% of his entire career.

I know it was a short season for him and those stats don’t tell the whole story but it’s pretty impressive none the less.
