Brees has never been known for Jay cutler cannon or Aaron rodgers type of arm he's always had accuracy

I'm well aware of this, but I've also stated before in other threads that my perception has been that he has been under throwing more of those longer passes recently than he used to, for example, back in 2009 or 2010.

Now, if it's not that he has lost some strength in his arm then it must be that he is misjudging the needed trajectory to get the ball across to where the receiver could catch it in stride as opposed to stopping and needing to come back for the pass. As far as I'm concerned, I'd much rather have it be the first option than the second one.

Not jumping on any "blame-train" on this one, it's just my honest opinion.
