re: Is Brees really worth the money he's paid?

I'd much rather have 100Mil invested in Brees/Manning/Brady than Joe Flacco.
Absolutely. Just saying it makes having a complete team more difficult.

Both Eli and Flacco used the SB victory to cash in on deals. The rest of that list is pretty elite.
Yes, but it was before they were making 100 million a year.

I'd argue that the game is changing, and you've got a lot more players ready to contribute the second they set foot on the pro field.
I agree. We have just missed on extremely important positions. Oline being the biggest. I would rather Orlando Franklin than Mark Ingram right now. We can't afford these misses.
quote:
Drew Brees has managed to look pretty damn good with a hodgepodge receiving corps the last couple of years. Imagine how good Brees would be with Megatron or Fitz lining up at wideout?
That hodgepodge receiving corps now lacks a deep threat, and it's best producers, Colston and Moore are losing a step.
Anyone know the average time for Brees to throw as compared to 2009? I would be willing to bet it's significantly higher. Either Brees is taking longer to make a decision, doubtful, or his receivers aren't getting open in time for him to make the throws. Add in the fact that we are weak at 3 positions on the OL, and it's not a winning recipe.

Which makes the fact that Drew is still completing near 70% of his passes all the more impressive.
With a shitty O-line, no running game, and receivers that cant get open. Seriously, I'm not a happy camper with Lance Moore or Colston right now. For veteran guys to play that poorly is inexcusable.

Stills is really the best we have, I'll bet he has more of a ceiling than anyone in our division. Morgan is unproven and injured. If we picked Meachem back up, who couldn't hack it in San Diego, that speaks volumes about where our receivers are tbh. Colston is still relevant because of his size. Toon really shat the bed against the Jets, he has a huge hole to dig himself out of before he gets trusted with another opportunity. I really hope they get a burner this off-season, whether in the draft or FA.
