I’d say the second time we played Minnesota he threw a very costly interception and fumbled on a crucial drive that Taysom Hill actually started.

I’d say the 3 interceptions last week weren’t the best look.

7 TD’s
6 interceptions
65% completion percentage
885 yards

That’s his last four playoff games. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, let that had been Teddy Bridgewater’s stats over the span of four games. He’d be talked about like the second coming of Aaron Brooks.

Bucs won yesterday throwing three interceptions. It’s because they converted in the red zone and not because of long throws by Brady. Big armed Rodgers and Allen lost yesterday too.

Only a fool would say it’s better to have a QB with limited arm strength. I’m not saying that. I am saying terms like noodle arm are out of place and that if the rest of the team is healthy (Hill, Murray and Thomas were not-hence the Red Zone struggles) and performs (Cook not fumbling like an idiot) Brees is/was capable of winning the game against Tampa. As always, refs made a
Difference. Receivers were held on both sides all throughout that game. Why they decide to call the game clenching penalty with less than two minutes is easy to understand to me.

The fact that Tom Brady can throw the long ball like he did to close out the 2nd quarter is what opens up the field for everything else. Drew Brees is a legend and first ballot HOF’er and blah, blah, blah but that doesn’t take away from the fact he hasn’t been getting it done and he does have a noodle for an arm. Nobody is saying you have to have the strongest arm in the world, but you do have to be able to keep defenses honest. Brady is still able to do that. Drew Brees was a better version Chad Pennington for these last four years.
