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.

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.

If by some chance Jarvis Landry was there in the second...

And thats not being a homer. Playmaking WR with a good motor, great hands, and Drew Brees at QB? Yes please.

With Jimmy drawing double teams on almost every play, you would think Colston would be having a career year? Nope. Barring a couple of really big games, he wont make 1000yds this season despite staying healthy for most of it.


Colston was clearly playing through injury. Since being able to sit out in week 9 he has 37 catches for almost 500 yards and 4 TDs. That includes 2 games against teams that are top 5 in pass defense.

overall accuracy, not spreading the ball around, and he's not as shifty as he once was in the pocket.


HAHA! 2nd in the league in Comp%, even with a bad game yesterday completed the ball to 8 different guys, and with that sad Oline we saw yesterday there are only 5 teams in the league with less sacks given up.
