Drew Brees

Brees has thrown for 4,400+ yards the last 2 years with an average of 27 passing tds. With the addition of Shockey, I can see him surpass 4,500 yds and flirt with 30 tds.

 

I didn't check the numbers...I just posted what I thought he can easily touch...

Brees never threw for 30 td's so maybe you want to tone that down a bit.

 

It's not about what he hasn't done it's all about what he could easily do this year. The guy tossed 28 TD and 4400 yards last year without having a solid no. 2 WR and getting off to a really slow start. He could easily breakout in the TD department and get 5-10 more. Shockey can really help spread the field and Meachum is a burner the Saints are counting on to contribute this year. With the field spread out and a lot of options to cover, don't be surprised if Bush rips off a few more long plays as well in the passing game. After the insane passing totals put up last year, Brady, Roth and Romo are likely to come down a bit. Manning is as consistent as they come but I feel like Brees brings upside this year and the stars are aligned to delight his owners. I'll make sure I'm a proud Brees owner.

You posted what you thought he could easily touch but then after that wrote... "anything more than that would be a gift." I was refering more to that part as he's already surpassed those numbers the last 2 years so 4,000 and 28 tds would actually be a slight disappointment as I expect about 300-500 more yards and maybe even a couple more tds.

 

I like Thomas a lot if Deuce goes down..

 

I agree.

Umm...

He said that because anything more than 28 TDs is pretty much a gift for anyone save possibly Manning. He's the only QB of late who's surpassed that number so regularly that you'd expect it. So, let's not argue semantics. I think he'll go over 30 and now hope he does as he fell to me in my draft. I was among those guys who were planning on grabbing McNabb late but didn't see the value at other positions to pass up Brees. So now I hope he does go over 30 as well. None the less, if he ends up with 28, it won't be a disappointment. Thus, anything more is a gift.

I have it like this

 

Tier One

1 Peyton Manning IND 4

2 Tom Brady NEP 4

3 Drew Brees NOS 9

4 Donovan McNabb PHI 7

5 Tony Romo DAL 10

 

Tier Two

6 Carson Palmer CIN 8

7 Derek Anderson CLE 5

8 Ben Roethlisberger PIT 6

9 Brett Favre GB 8

10 Matt Hasselbeck SEA 4

 

Good list. I think the three could very well be in any order thouogh. I do think Breese is in for a monster year if he can get the time to pick his target. Bush has done well pass catching this pre-season as well. If Deuce is back in some kind of his 2006 form, forgetaboutit.

Then be prepared to take him in the 2nd-3rd round as I havn't seen him last too long in my drafts
