Brees is top 5 in most Categories for QBs and leads the NFL in yards.

Not elite

I mean, the numbers are roughly the same, his decisions have been pretty spotty at best this year I will admit. I just have too see a larger sample size then to call it.

Its the same with the Fire Sean and Mickey people. They and Drew have earned the right to have some benefit of the doubt

You can keep yards, I'll take wins.

He has not been playing elite football this season. I don't care how many yards he has thrown for.

Brees has made some bad throws, but his stats are on par. I think bigger problem this year is lack of skill players at WR, crappy O-line play, and usually having to play from behind.

I don't remember each game but I don't think brees is to blame for all 9 losses so far.

I blame Payton above all (and no I'm not on the 'fire Payton' wagon). Poor personnel decisions, awful, stale play calling, poor preparation, etc. A recipe for a terrible season.

So with all of that, Brees isn't elite because he sucks, or his support system?

At the very least, a season like this should humble them all.

there have been some questionable calls all year, but I think some of the contracts set this team up for failure, especially because some of those higher paid players haven't produced as they should and some have been injured.

Really? How can half this board consider yourselves "fans".


The same way Brees considers himself a $100 million QB

He had a nice run. I put him slightly behind Warren moon on the all time list if his career ended today
