re: Nightmare: No Brees

I think if Brees were to go down there would only be a couple back-ups worthy of running this offense and Daniel is at the top of that list. Im not just being biased but he has been in the system for a while now and is definitely sitting behind and has a good relationship (Yes I'm going to say it) one of the best and most accurate QB's to every play in the NFL. No doubt not having Payton there would hurt those chances but 1) Pete can step in and mentor him to an extent and 2) anyone who actually think SP and someone from the offense will not be in contact at some point during the season is just naive. I think Daniel is good under pressure and has the arm strength and accuracy to lead a very potent offense and a revitalized defense to a 9-11 win season. It would take a lot of work and some balls to bounce our way but that is the same for Brees. I feel comfortable with Daniel as our back-up for now and WHEN Brees gets his money and shows up to prove why he got it, Daniel will be waiting in the background to get his chance.
