You mean Tony Dungy studied their offense for a couple months and the Aints ran out on the field and didn't do much?
Color me shocked.

I agree. I don't have him on my fantasy team, but if I did, I wouldn't hesitate to play him vs tampa bay next week.

Good observation, but remember that Orton also tended to overthrow a lot as well as underthrow, so either answer is acceptable for week one. If Brees had another quarter to work with, he would've had a few more turnovers.
Let's revisit again for week two.

If I can get a Holt+Rivers or any top 10 WR + top 15 QB I think I'm going to pull the trigger and offload him after he gets hot again. Right now I don't think anybody would give me squat for him. I'm already hurting at WR and I assumed my STUD QB didn't have any issues and would be solid all season long, but at this point I'd rather do a QBBC and solidify my WR's than take more chances on Brees.
The trash talking at work today is intense (everybody in my league works with me). The owner I'm playing this week beat me both times in the regular season and beat me in the first round of the playoffs. We got put in the same division again this year and things are not looking good for me to pull out a win this week. The irony is he had LT last season and I got him this season, but I don't think even LT is going to bail me out this week. I really wanted to give him a taste of what he gave me last season (LT killed me last season)! I guess that's FF for you...
I looked at his 2006 stats and he's quite inconsistent. I just fell for the hype and got sucked into last seasons overall stats. He was #2 in our league last year behind Manning.
I know I'm being hasty, but I'm still not convinced the Colts D is legit and he was horrible last night. I just don't see it getting any better. I know the right thing to do is not to panic, don't be hasty, and chalk this up to Week 1 jitters, etc. Maybe after Tampa I'll be singing a different song, but he wasn't that great vs Tampa last year either.

Saints coaching staff is doing him zero favors. Horrible playcalling.
Brees is a good QB, but he's always been dependent on having help around him -- in particular, because he's short, he needs good protection from the OL so that he can find passing lanes. (Look at the huge difference between his 2003 and 2004 performances. The OL was the major change.)
Whether he can bounce back and have a good season this year is going to depend quite a bit on his teammates. Right now, the whole team looks bad.

I dont get why Grossman gets grilled and no one says anything about Brees in the media he has been garbage

Has Grossman had a year like Brees did last year or the two previous years in SD? Past performance earns you some slack--although at this point, I think the hammer is going to fall.Personally, I think the blame has to be borne equally by coaching staff. I wonder if the Saints didn't catch the league by surprise last year with their offense, but this year coaching staffs around the league have figured the Saints out and the Saint's coaches haven't adjusted yet?

Grossman isn't a good comparison, but imagine McNabb started out like Brees has. Brees has done much less in his career but people would be calling for McNabb to be benched for a rookie.

All the rabid Brees supporters who thought letting Brees go was a huge mistake are now
