Four Down Territory: Nuklear Radiation

Second Down

Drew Brees is in a lot of pain.

Saints’ QB Drew Brees has multiple rib fractures on both sides of his chest and a collapsed lung on the right side, per @WerderEdESPN.

This is the second time in as many years that Drew will miss significant time due to injury. He has shaken the injury-prone label years ago and it’s not time to re-apply it but maybe this isn’t the worst thing in the world.

Brees is a first ballot HOF and one of the greatest to ever do it but there can be an argument that he’s been falling off after the Rams playoff game in 2018.

This might be considered a hot take but bear with me:

The Saints offense has the potential to be much better with Jameis under center.

I’m not saying Winston is better than Drew but I am saying that this offense will be able to do things that number nine can’t. Yes, Winston’s decision making is putrid at times but he has a way of making something out of absolutley nothing.

He’ll make some awful mistakes because that’s Jameis but he’ll also take this offense to another level. Even the thought of Winston stretching the field will keep defenses honest and that means more room for Thomas, Cook, and Kamara.

Seriously, this man is ready to drop bombs.

Drew’s injury, however, just shows how bad of an idea it was to give Taysom Hill $16 million. To think, people actually thought he was going to be “the guy” when Brees hangs it up this year.
