One poor game from New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees last Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons has a surprising number of analysts, pundits, and fans asking “Were the Saints better off with Teddy Bridgewater under center?” The simple answer to that question is simple: no.
A lot of drama was stirred up from the shocking loss to the Falcons during Week 10, but quarterback controversy should not be a part of any of that. It is true that Bridgewater led New Orleans to five straight wins in the absence of Brees. It is also a fact that Brees had one of his less-than-stellar performances during Week 10.
