Did anyone have there doubts about brees when we signed him?

No Doubts

I have been intrigued with Brees since his days with Purdue. He was putting up mad numbers and was quickly becoming the college version of John Elway, Captain Comeback. He struggled early on in SD because at that time they did not have an offensive team. I knew we would do a good job of protecting him because we did provide decent protection for Brooks, even though he would nt pick up the blitzes and seemed to roll right into them. I will say that I am surprised at how quickly Brees is reading defenses and getting rid of the ball quickly and accurately. The Saints have always been competitive in my eyes but this team seems to be really special. Add a few spices to the defense (LB,DB) and this team is really going to rock. I can't wait for the regular season to play itself out and see what kind of noise the Saints bring to the playoffs. NFC Divisional Leaders are struggling across the border and the Saints could easily become the #1 seed with a few more Chicago losses and Saints win. The key to that of course is to win out the rest of the games. I'm not saying an easy task but if the defense steps up it is forseeable. I can't wait. Go Saints.
