re: Is Drew Brees turning into Brett Favre as he gets older?

Dudes been the best 5 years running, the play calling this year is just atrocious and drew looks scared throwing the ball down field plenty of times

While still being pretty good, Brees has obviously been in decline these past couple of years. Brees in decline is still pretty great, but he's not who he was 4 years ago. I don't think it's all the playcalling. It's the playcalling. It's Graham's injury. It's the o-line. It's Colston not being the Colston of old. And yeah, it's Brees.

Payton needs to do something to retool the offense to preserve Brees' longevity. Brees can't carry the team anymore.
