I love Drew Brees. But father time has come. I'm not going to talk about his arm strength ( though I should) , His mobility is the issue.
The NFL gets faster , bigger more athletic every year. Today's top offenses boast quarterbacks that can move or at very least buy a second or two so that someone can get open.
Russell Wilson , Patrick Mahaomes , Aaron Rodgers , Joe Burrow , Lamar Jackson , Deshaun Watson and even Cam Newton has made a resurgent effort. ( There are many more to name )
They are able to excel because their athleticism gives their receivers 2nd and 3rd chances all on one play.
An added bonus is defenses usually keep a spy meaning less help in coverage due to the threat of the run.
Drew cannot move , so if the immediate read isn't there , its likely a negative play and if we are lucky he can get rid of it.
Sean Payton has schemed to keep Drew as young as possible, now we're just at the point he's crippling himself as a play caller and our offense along with it.
I can defend Drew's physical shortcomings , but it seems he's making more mental mistakes than usual as well and I feel thats due to him forcing things knowing he's not where he once was. Its bugging him.
Out of respect I want Drew to see if he can right the ship next week. But if we are as offensively inept as we have been the last few games as we have been with Drew under center , I think its time to hand the keys to Taysom.
Also , Ramczyck needs to be priority over Lattimore.
