Drew Brees league's Most accurate QB in passing last season

pherein · 07-31-2012, 11:25 PM

Stats Inc has released statistics showing how few Bad passes Brees threw last season. Its released on the patriots blog to show Brady as #21, which is a surprise , but I think its important because it shows just how efficient Brees is ,even though he threw the 2nd most passes in the NFL. I think we got our moneys worth. How anyone thought we would not have the arm strength when he was 1st drafted by the chargers I will never know. It takes a lot of concentration and stamina to throw that many times that accurately.

It turns out that Brady makes a high percentage of bad passes.
I had trouble digesting it myself, so I suspect that many of you will as well. But it’s true. Brady completely missed his mark – short, long or wide – on more than 17 percent of his passes last season, according to numbers compiled by Stats, Inc.
