PFF: Why Drew Brees is NOT Overpaid

Brees has had a great stretch of years since MT came on the scene. I still will argue he is bad at throwing the long ball, particularly as the season goes on. Within 20 yds Brees is still the best in the league right now. Outside of 20 yds he is worse than average.

I think now we finally have the WRs that suit his style. Guys like Cooks and Ginn never helped Drew, they are long ball guys that need to run underneath passes. Thomas is a physical possession guy and Sanders is the same. Assuming his arm can hold up through the season it should be extremely productive.

	The Saints are 0-42 when running the ball less than 15 times in a game.
