Good point. Great point, actually! The saints have had four 7 win seasons since 2012. Based on your logic, they should be contenders every single year. He's the definition of elite these days, so what happened? Is he not elite or were there other problems on the roster that one single player cant overcome?
Brees is 142-106 as a starter in the NFL. My logic does not say a team would be in contention every year. But the team WILL IN FACT BE IN CONTENTION IN SOME/MULTIPLE YEARS BECAUSE OF THE INHERENT WINS THAT THE QB IS GETTING.
Over time the wins come through. This is a QB league and the QB is more than any other position able to influence wins and losses.
Tannehill is 37-40. If you think this is changing and we will see someone different going forward I can't help you.
But hey Brees had some middling Tannehill seasons as far as wins and losses go. He also had some monster ones. He's 142-106 man. Wake the F up.
