News: DC: Scout's Eye: Breaking Down Brees, Plus New Orleans' Young Pass Rushers

[NewsBot]

IRVING, Texas – This week puts my game prep in a bit of a bind, because there’s just no way of knowing whether the Saints will suit up their Pro Bowl quarterback this weekend.

I’m going to spend some time preparing for both Drew Brees and Luke McCown, but at the end of the day I just have to assume the Saints’ Pro Bowler will be ready to go when the Cowboys get to New Orleans. Jason Garrett and his team will tell you they’re focused on themselves, but the challenges presented by Brees are too significant to ignore.

Huh.

Brees has a "lack of talent."

Who knew?

Wish I was that untalented.

He said arm strength and talent. Brees is not a physical marvel. His arm strength is average at best.

He says Brees' "talent isn't ideal.," and I know he means Brees is not 6'4" and 240 with a cannon for an arm. But there's a whole lot more to "talent" than just physical measureables, at least to me. To me, Brees' size and arm strength may not be ideal, but he is still a supremely talented quarterback.

Heal quickly, Tony.
