Matt Ryan?? I'll take Brees. Not even close. Secondly, we would not have been able to afford Nicks regardless of Brees contract. We are already paying Evans what was the highest salary for a guard in the league. We made an offer to Nicks, he walked. We miss him but Grubbs has been no worse than anyone else on the line. Bushrod is getting whipped and so is DLP. Anyone that thinks this is Brees' fault isn't paying close attention. Constant pressure in his face, nonexistent running game, and our defense can't stop anyone right now. Payton's absence is the problem. Not Brees.
