Drew Brees wasn’t quite as good as he was last season for the New Orleans Saints
Drew Brees’ numbers look pretty good but he was very inconsistent this season and it hurt the Saints. Part of the problem was when Deuce McAllister went down so did the running game and teams starting to gang up on the receivers of the Saints. Brees started all 16 games last season for the Saints and he completed 440 of 652 passes (67.5%) for 4,423 yards with 28 TD passes and 18 interceptions (89.4 QB Rating). He also carried the ball 23 times for 52 yards (2.3 ypc) with 1 TD run. Brees has now played in 91 games in his NFL career and he has completed 1,921 of 3,015 passes (63.7%) for 21,189 yards with 134 TD passes and 82 interceptions (87.9 QB Rating). He also has carried the ball 200 times for 450 yards (2.5 ypc) with 5 TD runs.

Mcalister wasnt even a factor te firs three games. Look at center Jeff Faine, RT Jon Stinchcomb, and LG Nesbet for the lack of running game. Jammal Brown wasnt very consistent in tha region either.
Brees wasn’t sharp early, but finished strong. He’s a top tier QB who will hopefully play at a strong level for the next few years if he can stay healthy. Besides I’d have him ranked up w/ the likes of Brady in regards to current QB’s who are gamers.
But, I’m partial………..
I think Brees is a gamer. Not having a running game hurt the offense this season. But, I don’t think he’s in Brady’s class…..no one playing today is.
