We've already covered the future of the Saints running and receiving games in our Predict-A-Poll series of posts so it's only natural to discuss passing as well. Obviously when we talk about what's in store for the Saints passing game next season, we're really talking about one man and his possible accomplishments: Drew Brees.
Drew is the driving force behind the Saints offense. The heart and soul. The beginning and the end. The toad and the wet sprocket. As Brees goes, so go the Saints. Fortunately, he's put up superb numbers his entire time in New Orleans with no signs of slowing down.
So today I'm asking: What kind of numbers will Drew put up next season? Will he once again complete more than 70% of his passes? Will his passer rating exceed 100.0? How many interceptions will he throw? Or will he succumb to the curse of the Madden cover?
For easy reference and to help you prognosticate, here are Drew's stats from the last four years:
