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

I think a better comparison is that Brees looks like Romo looked the past few years - a very good QB trying to force things and do too much.

The frustrating thing to me though is that if Drew Brees had just played within himself, we'd have likely beaten Atlanta, Cleveland, and Detroit.

He's become so ingrained and used to passing for 5000 yards and 40 TD's that it seems like he's not satisfied with an ugly 19-17 win. He'd rather force up a risky pass than take a sack in a key spot. As a result the Saints are 2-4 instead of 5-1.

His interception in the end zone at Atlanta was the defining play of that loss.

His pick 6 at Cleveland was the defining play of that loss.

His interception yesterday late in the 4th quarter was the defining play of that loss.
