Brees to start on Sunday vs Chiefs

TheOak · 12-18-2020, 08:58 AM

Actually our best offense is Brees under center with Kamara, Murray, MT, and Hill on the field.

Drew doesn’t need to throw much of any to make that work.

Very happy about this!

Got to give Mahomes the least amount of chances to score as possible. This game should be the Kamara and Murray show with a lot of checkdowns from Brees. A shootout would be a bad thing.

I didn't expect to see Brees until the Carolina game but he's no normal dude. A guy coming back from 11 broken ribs and a collapsed lung within a month in a violent sport ?? Man.

Kind of surprised the Saints broke this news today. I would have had them continue to game plan for Taysom H.

The man, the myth, the legend.

Good luck on Sunday Brees.

In my mind I wanted brees back for the panthers also. A fine tuning for the playoffs. Now in my heart we had no chance for home field without Drew . Here we go

First let me say Brees did not have 11 broken ribs, he had 11 rib fractures. In no way undermining the severity but a dislocated / broken rib would be major possibly season ending. I’ve had 3 rib fractures on the same rib no lung involvement not fun but the fractures were not severe.

I think the only chance for home field is with Drew playing. With Taysom we lose 2 maybe 3 remaining games

It doesn't matter whom the QB is, if both OL and DL play like they did in philly, we will not be successful.

Brees' ability to make pre-snap reads and quickly move through his progressions will mean wonders for the offensive line. Having Davenport back and receiving a reality check should do the same for the defense.

It would have been a bit difficult keeping it a secret if Brees was taking all of the first team snaps in practice, which I would assume would be the case given his time away from practice. I could be wrong, but that seems logical.

And, yes, Brees is no normal dude. Everybody's body is unique. He came back from a shoulder injury that has ended many a career and went on to have a HOF career. Last year he came back from an injury that would have ended most player's seasons and he managed come back and perform at a high level in a timeframe that was shorter than the forecasted low-end.
