Agreed. It was a different NFL back then. We pretty much have Brees' first contract sitting on IR the last 2 seasons.
Yes, I would agree there. If there is any truth to DA having his hands in the offense and neutering PC, then I'll give PC the benefit of the doubt. However, like in NE/TB with Brady, I think the offense was Brees even thought CSP created it. Brees ran it perfect and adapted as his body failed him. With no Brees or CSP, it is probably time to move onto a different offense.
