Drew Brees Almost Never Throws Deep Anymore. Is That A Problem For The Saints?

Why do the Saints sit DB#9 at critical moments in the game, and put the Taysom show in the game? If the answer to the previous question is that DB#9 is the Saints best option, so be it, let him run the offense..., the ENTIRE offense, all the time. Why has he been sat, when healthy?

I’ve never known a “sane” HC to state: “I have the GOAT QB, but nah, I’ma sit him when we need him the most”. That’s the very def’n of insanity..., or stupidity.

I rarely complain about anything other than bad calls while watching a Saints game. The one time that I do is when Payton inserts Taysom and especially when Brees is on a roll. He's certainly not putting Taysom in there for his arm. He has still only attempted 16 passes in his regular season career and only three this season. Taysom never enters the game to run a base play. It invariably involves some sort of gimmick. He comes in more as a wildcat than a QB. He does give us a better chance on a running play, but give me Brees with a yard or less any day.

But back to Brees. Can you explain why some people complain so much about Brees and his inadequacies if he's our best and only option to winning games at QB? Is it only because he isn't everything he used to be? That just brings me back to my age old argument of what good does it do to complain over something that is out of your control, or even out of the control of the team? Do you think it makes the complainer feel better in some sort of way? It seems to me that it would have the opposite effect.

Puzzling.
