Watch the Bears with Mitch Trubisky (previous) or Andy Dalton (now) for 5 minutes and you can understand very fast why dink and dunk will never land you in the top 10 of any team in the NFL. If you have a dink and dunk person that is not more accurate than an Olympic archer or a future HOFer, you are in trouble and looking for your next QB.
The 'new' style of NFL quarterbacking also seems to favor having a guy who can scramble and pick up first downs with his legs. But no one ever says, "If only Drew Brees had some wheels."
True, the position seems to be evolving in that direction, but obviously being able to hit that diaper from 20 yards was Drew's forte' and we were able to have a lot of success due to his accuracy, intelligence, and game management. Was it Brees' time to hang up the cleats? Most definitely. Was he the reason we couldn't get over the last few hurdles of the playoffs recently? I personally don't think so.
While I'm sad for Drew that he never was able to hoist another Lombardi, I'm glad that we had a good shot at it the number of times that we did. And I believe that Drew had something to do with our being in that mix. If Jameis can do the same as our quarterback, I will be equally happy for him and us! :9:
