I wonder how many records he will break next year and the year after that? Watching the videos in some of the recent B&G posts, especially the one on Thomas, it's obvious Thomas is a fantastic receiver. It's also obvious that Brees is crazy accurate. There were throws into tight coverage, including a few into triple coverage where Brees threw the ball in the only place that was remotely catchable. His ability to consistently throw receivers open. The fact that there may have been only one or two passes that Thomas had to even break stride on. Yes, Brees may not have the long ball he once had, but everything else looked pretty damn good to me. Given time, and another decent receiver not named Thomas, which he didn't have in the playoff game vs. Minnesota, and he will spread any defense. He may be old by NFL QB standards, but he is still a better QB than 30 of the 32 NFL starters...and the other 2 are debatable.
So, there will be a time when he will start to show his age, but it wasn't last year and probably won't be this year. |
