I've got first pick in our FF draft. Our league is much more favorable to QBs than most and all the top QBs are gone in the first half of round 1. Does Brady come back and have incredible numbers or will Brees continue his high numbers in the Saints pass first offense?

Bress will get his numbers. I'd hesitate to draft Brady with him being absent for a year

This is why you should pick Brees. But I think Brady is going to have an awesome year.

Nothing like crushing everyone for the regular season and losing in week 17 when you're starting Kerry Collins

this, + healthy Colston + no power running game + dome and warm weather conference + unproven defense.

I've made it a rule to never take any Saints players, because they'll always frick up when you need them to do well for your team.

negative. Brady likely resting in the week of your title game is a huge factor. Brees will prob not have that luxury.

I'm only a casual Saints fan.

True, but it is more likely the Pats will have a playoff spot wrapped up going into week 17 than the Saints will.

And this relates to fantasy football how?

Anyway, "rings" measure the quality of one's team, not the individual QB.

I'd take Brees for numerous reasons

1. playing indoors and on turf. WR have been proven to run faster on turf.
2. Brady's injury, there is not telling how he will react
3. No Saints running game yet
4. Winter in New England, Brady's numbers decreased the further the season went
5. No other QB has thrown for more yards in the last three seasons than Brees except Dan Marino.
