Re: Brees
 

and after all that beating he took and the interceptions and poor decisions and uninspired play, he threw this pass:

That is straight nasty, son.

Re: Brees
 

He throws that route better then any other route. That pass is always pretty, and usually always works. Colston or Graham everytime.

Re: Brees
 

Yes Sir. The only way it could have been prettier, is if it were in the end zone.
Watch that clip though. He had no pressure and a nice pocket to step up into...something he didn't have the rest of the night.

A little drew love.....

- He's 35...... That's that when I'm ready, I'm ready age..... Not the same as when you make me wait 1 hour and 15 minutes....

- they spent a billion dollars on defense, and we spent 100 million dollars on him and about 2 dollars and 50 cent on the line in order to protect him.....

- the decisions were bad but he was able to shake them off and get us the win......

- whatever love affair Shawn has for mark Ingram has gotta stop...they teach you to keep pushing the pile in preschool. And he to damn big to be running tapping his feet like Reggie bush.

- Shawn did give drew a stern ass talking to over on the sidelines after that second int if you saw it..... That was more than I saw kromer, or Vitt do last season.... The boss is Shawn people, and he got drew mind right before that last drive.

About Drew.. (For those that do not like stats this will sting)

Look at his INT alone is like looking at Ingram's total yardage... The real picture is in the break down of TDs, INTs, per Att. I will use 2012 season for my run through

Drew has the second most attempts in 2012. Naturally one should assume he would have second most INTs.

Sort ATT between INT Drew is near Middle of the pack with Brady being the best that year. Drew has an IT every 35.26 attempts.

Sort ATT between TD Drew is number one with the fewest ATT between TDs. with a TD between every 15.58 Attempts

Drew's numbers are not as ugly as people make them out to be.. His interceptions are though :)... Gawd he throws them at the most inopportune moment with the largest distance between the ball and a receiver lol...

He is the TD king however and that comes at a price. Ill take a TD king any day.

Do I cut Drew Brees more slack and I cut most players? There is zero delusion here, I do... Mainly because there are about what, 4 people on the earth I could thank for bringing the first Super Bowl to New Orleans? He is one of them. Didnt do it alone but wouldn't have happened with out him.

I saw him do one thing last night twice that made me feel good. He was going down and thought about that damned toss to who ever was close and didn't. He tucked it and took the sack. How many INT's did he have in 2010 because he tried a quick shovel to avoid a sack.. I remember a few, I believe at least 2-3 of them shoveled right into a defenders hands.

Re: Brees
 

I noticed the same - and I wonder if this is the result of some new faces? I'm just guessing, but Drew doesn't violate that internal clock too often, so seeing that yesterday was definitely strange.

Re: Brees
 

Good stats. Maybe I'm too hard on him. I'm going to continue to be though. I want another Super Bowl before he retires and we run the risk of the bags coming back out.

Re: Brees
 

So I guess this week you are going to hate on Geno Smith, and Kaepernick? They both threw more than Drew, and I do believe RG III has 3 same as Drew.


Live by the pet peeve....

Re: Brees
 

Shhhh dont tell anyone, I actually whipped out excel. You are not too hard on him, just take what he does with a grain of salt because for every screwup he has 5 great plays.

Sit on the street outside my house when Drew throws an INT or shovels it to a defender... You wont even have to roll your window down to hear me.. :)
