    Best team in the league?

    Drew Brees the best QB in the league? MVP?

    The Saints look scary good.

    There doesn't appear to be many tough games left on their schedule either.

    If they stay healthy I could see them possibly winning 14 or so games and likely taking home field for the playoffs.

    I just don't see many teams on their schedule that should beat them?

    Best team in the league- No- well I think it's still too early. Are the Broncos really this good? Are the Titans really this bad? Why are the Lions still in the League? So many questions- too early to tell.

    Brees for MVP- No brainer.

    Best team...Vikings

    MVP....Manning/Favre/Brees...all 3 could take credit right now

    Best QB though...Arod. Period. Take away those 25 sacks through 5 games adn his numbers go off the charts. Call me a homer all you want, its true.

    Don't count out Denver, they looked damn good last night. But the Saints do look scary good, so do the Vikings. But it's only week 6..........we'll have a better feel for everyone in a couple more weeks

    Best team so far that is for sure. I don't see them really being tested until they meet New England in week 12. Should be one heck of a battle.

    They are probably the scariest team right now, but the 2 previous games left a little to be desired. Until this week everyone was on Eli and the giant's johnson, the get drilled by the saints and here we are. I can assure you I am in no way glad my falcons have to play them 2 times. They are going to be very hard to beat if they are clicking on all cylinders. Did you guys see the sports science where Breeze threw the ball better than olympic archers shoot at 20 yards, He went 10 for 10. They showed what a perfect pass looks like, the desired wobble and where the fingers need to be in order to have pin point accuracy. They gave him a special ball that read all that, and he actually throws a perfect ball everytime in a controlled environment.

    I would put the Saints and Indy about what and what right now. The only thing is that the Saints have more yards per game (25.2 more per game) and points per game (11 points more per game)... oh and brees has less interceptions (2), more touchdowns (13) and a higher passer rating(118.4) than Manning.

    And the fact that we scored 48 points on the number one defense who we were supposed to get crushed by.. and the fact that we returned Mark Sanchez to a rookie so the rest of the league didn't have to listen to the heads talk about their man crushes on him....

    I'm giving the edge to the Saints... (But only slighty, as we ARE talking about Peyton Manning.) :)

    Brees>>>Manning (right now)

    And this is coming from a guy who's username was "PeytonsLover" when playing Madden on-line a few years back.

    Yeah I think the Saints, Indy, Vikes, and Denver are the cream of the crop right now. I don't want to even talk about my Titans....hard to watch them.

    The Giants defense had been performing well against the WORST teams in the league up until they played the Saints...I don't believe they are as good as many believed. Also most of the their starting defensive backs are hurt.

    I never understood all the hype about Sanchez as he really hasn't had any great games this year. The Jets had been winning mainly with their defense.The Bills recently intercepted Sanchez 5 times on the Jets home field and Buffalo sucks.

    All that said...the Saints are a very good team.

    Watched it, thats all well and good, but it was 20 yards. olympic archers are shooting at 76 and a half yards.....
    pretty sure dang near anyone on this forum could be as good as drew at 20 yards with their hunting bow.
    Cool vid, but a crappy crappy example
    hell i am pretty sure there are certain guys on here that could score that well at 50 yards

    Olympic Archers don't have to worry about getting sacked by 300+ lb linemen though.

    lol.

    I think it was a fair comparison. An olympic archer is shooting a very high tech piece of equipment. A quarterback is throwing a leather ball.

    You may be able to compete with him at 20 yards with your bow but you can't compete with him at 20 yards with a football. (Make that ten and the same holds true)

    tru but neither did he in that video. hell there are some guys shooting stick bows that could pull that off. Or sling shots.
    i am jsut saying they shoulda left the archer comparison outta it

    and why would i compete with a football when they blatently said he was better in an apples for oranges comparison....gimmie my Orange dangit!! lol
