A. Drew Brees
B. Alvin Kamara
C. Jared Cook
D. Michael Thomas
E. The Health of the Offensive Line

Cook adds the fourth dimension. We already had Kamara short, Ginn deep, and Thomas all over.

Drew to Ginn

TA's health a close second

Cook is a beast. He’s going to do a lot for our offense.

Health of our offensive line....it's not even close....

Yeah. Cant believe this is even a question.

I guess I will go with health of the O-Line/injuries in general. #3 the defense.

#2 would be does father time kick in with Drew?

All else being equal and Drew is Drew, as long as the OL is healthy and keeping the QB clean and winning the LOS the offense is going to score. From there it's up to the defense.

But I guess maybe should be added to the list as an x-factor is...the officiating....

Yeah. Cant believe this is even a question.

Then don't participate

I’ve just never heard of offensive line health as an “x-factor”.

 

[Stalwart385]

To me "x-factor" is an unknown that changes the game. I thought the obvious answer is Cook.

 

[tim martin]

Davenport is the key period. Can’t win without a pass rush and who knows when rankins is back

You could stop with just "factor".

x-factor as it's used implies "unexpected" or "unaccounted for". But the options are just factors.

Unpredictability.

A good defense can take away something. A great defense might shut down two. There are still two or three great match-ups to pick from.
