No Ian Book Active, Taysom Unlikely to Play Much

Again, you have 22 starters, you cant lose 11 of them and expect there not to be a dropoff. Brees would not be winning with this squad, he would be just trying to hold water until starters come back. Ram and Terron out in the same game alone would break his ribs lol

its no surprise that we went from 5-2 to a 4 game losing streak when we lost our most talented players. Arrogant lol
And yet, somehow Brees probably would still look and be playing so much forking better than Siemen could with a decent supporting cast. He's a third-string QB for a reason, after all. Willie Snead, Lance Moore, Devery Henderson, Kenny Smalls, Brees could make them look like Pro-Bowlers even if a few of them would be #2 or #3 WRs on most other NFL squads.
Brees' could read complex defenses faster, had one of the quickest releases ever, was the perfect prototype pocket passer ever, he could lose half of his starting O-linemen to injuries, he'd still somehow make us look better probably on offense even 2-3 years ago then what we have now.
