“For all of Brees’s great numbers, the Saints finished 8-8 in 2008, last in their division. Saints fans should hope they’ve improved the team enough so that Brees doesn’t have to throw as much as he has in the past two seasons. It may sound counterintuitive but the Saints would be better off if Brees had fewer attempts and fewer completions for fewer yards and, yes, fewer touchdown passes. That’s bad if you have Drew Brees on your fantasy team but probably means the New Orleans Saints have won more football games.” —Drew Brees and the ‘Four Verticals’ - The Fifth Down Blog - NYTimes.com Great post with some great comments.
