Today's question: Drew Brees showed more inconsistency than usual last season, especially when it came to turnovers. Is he showing signs of decline at age 36 or a need to adapt his game in any way? Or is he still as dangerous as ever?

Vaughn McClure, Atlanta Falcons: I think it's only natural to say he's on the decline -- the New Orleans Saints' drafting quarterback Garrett Grayson in the third round speaks to that -- although I would never underestimate the savvy veteran. The fact that Brees threw three interceptions in two losses to the lowly Falcons last season was surprising, although Atlanta was a plus-5 in turnover differential. Brees had six interceptions in his matchups against Tampa Bay, and the Buccaneers were near the bottom of the league in creating turnovers (minus-8). Then Brees loses one of the most dangerous weapons in the NFL when tight end Jimmy Graham was traded to Seattle. Add the loss of deep threat Kenny Stills (traded to Dolphins) and I think Brees could have an even tougher time this season while adjusting to new offensive weapons. He'll really earn his money if he can keep the offense flowing.

David Newton, Carolina Panthers: The New Orleans offense, not Brees, is showing signs of decline. Brees was sacked 29 times, the second-highest total of his career, last season. So his protection wasn't great. That leads to turnovers, even for great quarterbacks. Running back Darren Sproles was traded to Philadelphia during the 2014 offseason, leaving Brees without his best option out of the backfield, particularly on third down. This season, Brees will be without Jimmy Graham, one of the NFL's best tight ends. Brees needs better weapons around him to succeed. And he needs protection. Drafting offensive lineman Andrus Peat in the first round might help. C.J. Spiller could replace Sproles. Give Brees the proper support system and he's still one of the top five quarterbacks in the NFL.

Pat Yasinskas, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: I've heard the rumbles that Brees is in decline, but I'm not buying them at all. That's because the rumbles have been there before but haven't come to fruition. Think back to 2010. That's the year Brees threw 22 interceptions and a lot of people were saying he was washed up. So what did Brees do in 2011? He threw for 5,476 yards and 46 touchdowns (both career bests) while cutting his interception total to 14. I'm not ruling out a similar bounce-back season. That's largely because Brees is so competitive that the talk of decline will fuel him. His supporting cast has changed, and, yes, he's 36. But as long as Brees is with coach Sean Payton, the Saints are going to have a dangerous offense.
