Re: Dumbest comment I have ever seen on Brees
SO flame me if you will, but he is %100 correct about Brees being a pocket passer, that's not a bad thing. And pocket passers are easier to get to than someone like Ben or McNabb. Which is Why Peyton, Brady, and Brees have been given great O-lines to protect them.
Brees has good feet and a wicked 3 step drop which makes him much more elusive than most pocket QBs. But if our O-line doesn't hold, Brees will falter given he isn't a "mobile" QB. So other than his "Drew Freeze" and final score projection, I agree - If the jets dominate our O-line, Brees will not be able to make plays consistently. Hopefully, if that is the case our Run game and D will step up and keep the Jets D honest. |

I wonder why?????

That Brees doesn't run around the entire backfield like a chicken with his head cut off doesn't mean he's not mobile. He, much like Payton Manning, has tremendous pocket awareness and is able to use the pocket to his advantage, and has great footwork. That's why Brees doesn't get sacked, not because he's got a great o-line. While these "mobile" QBs are trying to run away from the defenders, Brees and Manning dodge them very effectively within a small area using the bodies and space around them. Brady is not as good, actually. |

I think the Jets might get a few sacks, but then again it is in the dome and we have done a better job there than on the road. Sharpe and Dukes both are saying that the Jets aren't going to be able to keep up with our high scoring offense. Is it sunday yet? Mannnnn I cant wait.

Peyton Manning got sacked on average, nearly 18 times a season over his career pocket passers do operate in a smaller area but good ones like brees and manning are able to avoid the rush like you said brady is not elusive at all, he doesnt have great pocket awareness....he doesnt make the best decisions all the time....the reason he is listed in the top 3 QBs all the time is because of his rings and his offensive line that gives him ample time to make every decision on the football field.....when he gets hurried like against the giants, he struggles....brees doesnt |
