Is drew struggling?

jn671 · 11-16-2009, 06:46 PM

Idk if it's me bit I feel that drew seems to be struggling or hasn't been putting up the numbers. I understand thy we are a more balanced team now but I sorta feel as if drew has be anxious to get touchdowns.. If you look at those int's it seemed like a desperation throw where he wanted to get it out or maybe he wa pressured. JMO. What do you guys think?

He has cooled off a little since the first quarter of the season. He is still making some outstanding throws that only he can make, but on some plays looks like an average NFL QB. It's a byproduct of the offense being a little out of rhythm and the turnovers. We know that Drew works real hard, so I think it'll correct itself over time.

Yep, Drew is a little off right now. Remember that in the NFL things do have a tendency to balance it, I would call it a little bit of a rough stretch for an all world QB. I am not worried about Drew, and average Drew is still better than most of the other QB's in the league on their greatest day. He will bounce back into the elite category very shortly.

To me Brees and Payton sometimes get a little impatient. They both want the big play instead of taking what the defenses are allowing. Again this is my opinion and I'm in the stands not on the field.

It's hard to be perfect every game. Brees on a Bad day is better than most other quarterbacks in the NFL on their good days .

Drew Brees Stats - New Orleans Saints - ESPN

When you throw the ball as much as Drew does every season, you're bound to throw a few interceptions... that's just a given. He's on pace to do exactly what he's been doing for us the the last few seasons. Is he struggling? I wouldn't say so.

Drew will be fine. With the weapons we have and the balance we have, Im not worried. Drew's arm will remain strong this year.

I sure seems like he is, I hope he gets over it soon.

Oye vey!...or whatever that expression is. I come to this website and I read topics like...

Is Drew struggling?

Are we going through our slump?

Carney must go!

And on the other hand you have...

Are we a dynasty?

Who will we play in the Superbowl?

Who will we face in the NFCCG?

It is unbelievable...can't we find a common middle ground?
