August 16, 2008 Drew Brees completed 12-of-17 passes for 147 yards and two scores in Saturday's preseason game against the Texans.
Our View:Yep, it looks like Drew is ready for the regular campaign.
August 5, 2008 Drew Brees and the rest of the Saints starters are expected to play as much as a quarter in Thursday's preseason opener. The quarterback will be without two of his top targets, as Jeremy Shockey (leg) and Marques Colston (knee) will sit out, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Our View:The initial preseason game rarely tells us much, but it'll be interesting to see if some of the Saints other pass-catchers can step up to help Brees - namely Robert Meachem.
June 4, 2008 The New Orleans Saints have fired Vice President of Player Personnel Rick Mueller, according to ProFootballTalk.com.
Our View:The rumors surrounding this situation suggest Mueller was mixed into negative emotions with general manager Mickey Loomis, and Loomis was the choice of team ownership. Mueller was charged with scouting and player evaluations and a review of his work makes it difficult to assert he was let go do to bad job performance (can you say Marques Colston?).
March 31, 2008 Quarterback Drew Brees is enjoying a rehabilitation-free offseason for the first time since he joined the New Orleans Saints two years ago, according to the WBRZ News 2 Louisiana. When Brees signed with the Saints after the 2005 season, he was in the middle of recovering from major surgery on his throwing shoulder. Last season, he was recovering from a dislocated non-throwing elbow that he suffered in the Pro Bowl. Brees has passed for 8,841 yards and 54 touchdowns over the past two seasons, so the sky appears to be the limit for the quarterback, who will participate fully in the offseason program for the first time in two seasons.
November 4, 2007 Drew Brees continued his fine playing on Sunday against Jacksonville, completing 35-of-49 passes for 445 yards and three touchdowns. After throwing just one TD pass in the first four games of the season, Brees has tossed 11 touchdowns in the last four. It appears safe to consider him a top 5 QB the rest of the way.
