Brees came back from oblivion...you can make an argument for Shawn Springs, as well as Corey Dillon (as stated by Boomer Esaison this AM on Elliot in the Morning) and Willis McGahee, since both of these RBs came back from injuries. i wouldn't agree with bettis, numbers below show that his numbers are up but not a vast improvement

04 numbers: 262-400 (65%), 3159 yds, 27 TDs, 7 INTs
Bettis
03 numbers: 246 car, 811 yds, 3.3 ypc, 7 TDs, 5 fumbles
04 numbers: 250 car, 941 yds, 3.8 ypc, 13 TDs, 1 fumble
Springs
03 numbers: 43 total tackles, 37 solo, 1.5 sacks, 1 INT, 10 Passes deflected
04 numbers: 64 total tackles, 52 solo, 6 sacks, 5 INTs, 7 Passes Deflected, 1 Forced Fumble
Dillon
03 numbers: 138 car, 541 yds, 3.9 ypc, 2 TDs
04 numbers: 345 car, 1635 yds (3rd in NFL) , 4.7 ypc, 13 TDs (1 receiving), 5 fumbles
