Scar tissue isn't the only issue that can make shoulders troublesome. I have tendonitis in both rotator cuffs and the slightest inflammation causes impingement and will prevent you from getting much sleep until it subsides, especially if you are not a back sleeper. Its a dull constant ache that has nothing to clean out or repair, if you lift your arm too high the dull pain can be sharp.

I found two things greatly effected my tendonitis, pressure changes due to weather and flying because of the pressure changes involved there. In my 5 years of traveling back and forth to Africa, I generally ate 12-16 ibuprofen a day.

Exactly, studs don’t complain they just do it. I wasn’t going to get in a peeing contest with AG over what u just reiterated. Brees arm is sore, it’s sour but it’s working . Beat Tampa’s arse drew.

He's now Chad Pennington.

Short and intermediate throws are all he really has. If he wasn't so freakishly exceptional at those we'd be getting killed.

If things go right then it is no big deal if Brees does not throw deep. When defenses start pressing up on receivers, stacking the box, etc. it's a major issue when there is not a deep passing game to push the defense back.

As long as his accuracy is running at an optimum level, probably be okay. Yeah, may not look too sexy but still works. When you can accurately throw a ball to a receiver in full stride, regardless of who it is, that's the difference in success between someone like Brees versus many if not most of the competition. And he is arguably one of the best of all time.....imo. Now, what you are starting to see are more exotic defenses versus the pass.more people in coverage, more people in deeper coverage. As long as he can slip/avoid the pressure he will be fine.

It seems kind of obvious to say this, but the Terrell Davis/Elway Broncos championship team is the one we need to emulate. Be excellent with the run game and lean on it, be proficient when we do pass, and manage to have enough pass rush and speed on defense to hold our own there. To answer, it's only problem if we are trying to be a pass-heavy team.

To who? We'll have both Thomas and Sanders back next week. Not to mention there is no way to absorb his contract under our cap.
