Let's take away Graham, Colston, Sproles and see how well Brees does You don't think he'd do well? He wouldn't lead the Saints to score the 2nd most points in the league

You don't think he'd do well? He wouldn't lead the Saints to score the 2nd most points in the league Probably not. That wasn't really what I was asking though. If you took away Graham and Colston (you mentioned Sproles too but he's gone regardless since he's an Eagle now), that'd be an even worse WR corps than Brady had last year, so that should be taken into consideration too. At least Brady had Edelman.. The best WR on the Saints would be Kenny Stills in that scenario. But with that being said, I do think even without Graham and Colston, Brees would still put up a better statistical year than Brady's 2013.

His completion percentage was down last season, because 13 percent of his passes were dropped. I could actually make an argument for last year being Brady's best season of his career.
Still I dont have access to the entire article either, so who knows what it goes on to say.

Considering 90 percent of the people on this forum barely knew who Edelman was before last season.

I don't think he'll be a constant 1000 yard WR in this league or anything, but I think he could be (at least) solid on any team.

Other than Patriots fans, I doubt anyone even had the thought of Edelman having a break out year cross their mind. I'm just saying that it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows for Brady... he did lose Hernandez, Welker, Gronk, Amendola, Vereen and Woodhead for all/most of the season. Despite all the turmoil, he still led the offense to basically 28 points/game.

I just felt the need to defend Brees lol. I can admittedly get a little defensive when it comes to him.

I can admittedly get a little defensive when it comes to him. Stills/Cooks > Edelman/Thompkins. Maybe. Depends on how Cooks does his rookie year. But Dobson > Thompkins though IMO. Stills/Cooks vs Edelman/Dobson is much more flip-floppable.
