Agreed. No question that Brees has been one of the best and racked up crazy stats but he's been the ultimate game manager, distributing the ball with high completion percentages, for almost a decade now and the Saints have continually failed against the most elite competition. Hell, they've only scored more 24 or more points 3/9 games in the playoffs since 2013, with the last time being against the Panthers in 2017, That 'high-powered offense' scored 23 once, 21, once, and 20 3 times in their last 5 playoff games. They win a lot of regular season games but that style can't be counted on to get it done against the elite in today's NFL.

24 points should typically be enough to win an NFL game but the postseasons is its own beast. It's a big reason why I'm personally so against the game manager style and advocate for dynamics.

Brady can drive the ball though - he was chucking 50+ air-yard strikes this season at 43 years old. Brees could do that in his younger years but the threat hasn't consistently been there for a long while now. It will be very interesting to see if/how things change with Taysom or especially Jameis at the helm. I'm not saying it's guaranteed to be better, but it's a dimension that's been absent in their recent offenses. Will be interesting to see who ends up at the helm and how Payton adapts.

obviously my avatar shows how much I hate the Saints.  They have choked out, and I'll be changing my avatar soon as they settle into the irrelevance they are used to.

But I'll give Drew his proper respect.  He was good, and better than most of the best.  It would have been a lot more fun watching him if he wasn't a Saint, but he was still fun to watch.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
