re: Nightmare: No Brees

I agree that Brees is worth more than 2 more wins, but in my mind if Brees doesnt play with our schedule this coming year, CD can lead us to 9 wins and I will elaborate with a game by game break down...

1. Redskins-W, In my mind RG3 is going to take more time than Luck to transition to the NFL and I believe Luck will take a whole season at least.

2. @ Panthers-L, Scam Newton most likely will be bitten by the 2nd year slump, but CD has a terrible game in week 2 and the defense gives up just enough for the panthers to win by 10.

3. Chiefs-W, Pete C lights a fire under CD's arse after his atrocious week 2 performance and the defense reveals the weaknesses of a new offense in KC.

4. @ Packers-L, I think everyone would agree with me here. CD is just outplayed by Rodgers.

5. Chargers-W, The Saints are one of the teams who have had success against SD as of late and I think CD squeezes one out here late in the 4th.

6. BYE-W, I think our BYE week comes at a great time this year.

7. @ Bucs-W, I do not think TB is going to very good this year. I live in Tampa and all the radio shows here are not confident in their new coach plus lots of Bucs fans do not trust Freeman.

8. @ Broncos-L, Manning is in mid season form by this point and outplays CD.

9. Eagles-L, I do not believe the Eagles will have the season some of their fans think they will have, but I do think they have enough talent to come to NOLA and take a game from CD.

10. Falcons-L, Lets face it with no Brees the Failcons take the NFC South as well as both games from the Saints.

11. @ Radiers-W, Carson Palmer has not been fully healthy in some time. Although he threw for a ton of yards in his short tenure with the team last season I think OAK will be at the bottom of the league with the Bucs and Jags.

12. 49ers-W, The Saints will be waiting for this game all year long and new DC Spags will know the right formula to tear Alex Smith apart. No matter who is under center for the Saints in this game, expect another preseason performance that we witnessed last season.

13. @ Falcons- As Ive said I think Matt Ryan is a good QB and with no Elite Brees in the mix he takes the divison and both games from the Saints. I just know he chokes in the playoffs.

14. @ Giants- The Giants have lost a lot of talent this offseason, but for picking late in every round of the draft they came out looking healthy. They take this game because its mid-winter in Jersey.

15. @ Cowboys- Dallas is another team the Saints have ahd success against. Even the first loss of the season in 09 was a very close game we really should have won. I think this the game of the year where CD is on his game and gets some breaks to steal a game from the Cowboys who as much as I hate to say it will be at the top fo the NFC.

16. Bucs-W, The Bucs are terrible at this point and are thinking about Barkely in the draft to replace Freeman. Look for Freeman to be with the Dolphins, Chiefs, or Browns in 2013.

Hope it isnt too much to read but I feel strongly about it. CD has potential and I think has the skills and brains to be a decent starter in the league very soon.
