But if I had my choice of Oline, then I'd choose Brees to stand behind it no doubt. Also Ben last year had fewer passes for more TDs and fewer INTS. So last year, I'd have to say Ben WAS better.

So Brees' "down" year was about as good as Ben's really good year. That says it all. Ben is a really good quaterback and I'm not trying to knock him, but Brees is just better.
Also, I'd say that making something out of nothing is not only not a weakness of Brees', it's one of his biggest strengths.
Don't sleep on the Steelers' o-line either.

We'll have to agree to disagree, but I'm saying it's about a wash between the two.

Latest Feature: Mother Nature
On Monday, November 26, 2007, the Pittsburgh Steelers played host to the Miami Dolphins in what can only be described as an utter debacle. In a thrilling 3-0 Steelers triumph, Heinz Field looked like it had just hosted a monster truck rally as rain poured down mercilessly, making the field virtually unplayable. We learned two things that night. Number 1: our GameStop fantasy football team would miss the play-offs because we couldn’t get a measly 3 points out of Ben Roethlisberger and Heath Miller. Number 2: weather can have a serious impact on the results of a football game.
In fact, some of the more historic games in NFL history have been made so by Mother Nature, i.e. the Patriots and Dolphins “Snow Plow Game” in 1982, Bears and Eagles “Fog Bowl” from 1988, and the snow-laden Patriots and Raiders “Tuck Rule” game in 2002, just to name a few. What does all of this have to do with Madden NFL 09? Well, clearly weather has always been IN the game, but up until now, it had little impact ON the game. For the first time, weather will affect how your players move and perform on the field. When precipitation is heavy, elusive runners like Adrian Peterson will be more likely to put the ball on the turf when juking and spinning. So you'd better cover up! Receivers who rely on a quick release, like Steve Smith, could slip coming out of the gates. QBs diving for a first down on a rain-drenched field may suddenly rekindle memories of a summer Slip N Slide, not to mention they won’t have the same accuracy as you're used to. For icing (pun intended) on the cake, Madden NFL 09 will also feature some weather specific celebrations…can you say snow angels at Lambeau?! Mix in a little rain-puddle splashing, some dynamic player breath, and you’ve got yourself a virtual weather wonderland, which, if you recall from Week 2’s Madden Monday, the weather and lighting have been completely overhauled, making Madden more immersive than ever before. Now it should be noted, just because it’s raining doesn’t mean you should expect results similar to the aforementioned Steelers game of last year. Although these weather “tweaks” will require you to think twice about the moves and calls you make, they won’t completely render offenses useless.
So there you have it. Madden Mondays is a wrap. The good news is, because you, our faithful reader, have made this feature a great success, we’re looking to partner with EA SPORTS to give Madden fans more exclusive content in the weeks leading up to the launch on August 12th; so stay tuned. Madden NFL 09 is available now for pre-order, including the historic 20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition that features Madden NFL 09, NFL Head Coach 09 and more.

Thank God!
That's all I wanted. Of course, that will probably be one of the features left out for the Wii....

We need a list of roster edits we need to do once we get the game.
Put Brees at 97
Put Brady's arm strength at 95 from 99
Put Russell's arm strength at 99 from 98 (HOW DOES BRADY HAVE A BIGGER ARM THAN JR?!?!?!?)
Upgrade Jahri Evans to high 80's.
What else?
