Giving up mobility completely, so “form” can attempt to offset a weakening, possibly already shot, arm is seen by every defense in the league as a weakness, and it limits the Saints offensively bc of it. AK#41 amazes me more every day in spite of DB#9. Sadly, DB#9 has aged into a check down only passer, and it limits our offense..., massively. Every defense in the NFL knows that we can’t go deep, or even pretend to, ever. Every. Single. Defense.

It comes down to this ...

Do you agree or do you not agree that Brees gives us our best chance at winning as a starter over anyone else on our roster or otherwise available today? If not then who would guarantee us of winning more games now?
