saint vitus Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 So, I found this on a dirtybird fan's sig. Does anyone else see the irony in thisstat considering Drew Brees is now the "all time" league leader in completedpasses in a season and is second to only Tom Brady this season in passingyards?Also, no one ever in the league has had in their first two seasons as manycompleted catches as Marques Colston.I predicted last offseason Colston would be top 5 receiver, but he is No. 8 in the league. Close enough right?:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close enough right?:cool:No, not close enough. You also need to balance out you offense. Brees throws way too much and you will not win in this league consistently doing that. Just ask Andy Reid!I'm not saying that Brees should pass all the time. I'm just pointing out the irony in that pic that I posted from someone's sig. The fact that Brees can carve up the field with his arm is irrelevant to how the Saints need offensive balance. I just appreciate that Brees has the gift of an elite throwing arm to dissect a defense with surgical precision. If you were a Saints fan, you would appreciate that also.

That is what the Saints as an organization are shooting for, and they are closer to that reality than alot of other "offensively challenged teams."

brendyne Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I'm pretty sure that happened against the Falcons, if true, then THAT is the irony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint vitus Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 WhenFalconsWin (1/24/2008)The Saints need to balance their offense...if Brees keeps throwing that much they'll keep being a sub .500 club!Saints are stacked in the backfield with Deuce, Reggie, Stecker, Thomas.There will be balance........There better be balance!

If the front office and coaches get us a big boy defense all the other stuff will fall into place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
