Drew's arm looks weak to me right now.

Of course he'llnever say it but if it is you can blame ole Pete Carmicheal for that...
Throwing the ball 50+ a game will do that to you. Kinda makes me wonder why we have so many damn running backs if we throw so damn much.

Nothing wrong with Drew's arm, now his decision making is another story. No way he should have thrown those two passes that were intercepted. Drew's trying to do to much and not letting his teammates do their jobs. As fans we've given drew a pass on his poor play, well enough lets just tell it like it is and he's playing like ****.
This man is not playing like a 100 million dollar QB, not the guy we've seen in years past.

I agree....I think alot of it has to do with amount of pressure he feels thats on him. This is not the situation he expected to be in this year. $100mil contract. Everyone in the media saying basically he has to be the coach on and off the field. No SP to pull the reins back and calm him down when he's clearly pressing way to much. No matter how good he's been in the past one thing has always been constant with Brees he's had a head coach in SP that understood where his head and mood were at all times during practice and the games. And he took care of the minor details in every facet of the team to make sure everything went smoothly for the guy running the offense on the field.

Carmichael is not the type to throw in some plays short pass plays or hand offs after Brees makes a bad decision...it seems like he just encourages Brees to press even more with the way he calls plays. For example...those passes that were dropped, fumbled, or tipped and picked off by the likes of Jed Collins, Colston, and Graham would have been rectified by SP. And SP would have changed the playcalling accordingly until he felt it was time to go back to those players after major mistakes. Brees by himself is still gonna go back to his guys no matter what when in actuallity he should go to the ones that have more ball security and production i.e. the short pass/run game.

Payton not being there has to play a role in Drew's bad decisions and the at times bad play calling...

I agree...I think Drew's arm does look weak, he under throws a lot of passes.

On a lot of Drews deep passes, he hasn't had as clean a pocket to step up into and put his weight into the passes.

He has been running for his life or throwing off his back foot most times...

I don't think it's so much his arm strength, just the lack of the O-Lines protection...
