Can anyone guess ways to continue to be successful with Brees?

I was thinking last night about Brees's lack of arm strength and the only Superbowl QBs that I can remember with an arm like he has now were Brad Johnson and Trent Dilfer.

Both had amazing defenses.

The saints had the 3rd highest scoring defense in the NFL but they gave up 130 yards rushing to the Bucs and two terrible plays by Cook sunk them in the playoffs, as well as an ill-advised passed by Brees to Thomas.


Could replacing Cook or adding another Tight end with two superior linebackers, and maybe another DT be enough to put the team over the top with Brees or is this it for you as a fan?

Loomis is supposedly "waiting on Brees" but if we're paying a guy only to play as well as Brad Johnson or Trent Dilfer is it even worth $30 million a year?

Thoughts?
