In 2010 Drew was playing with a torn meniscus. Initially, Drew and Sean Payton denied the report,
Report: Brees has fracture, torn meniscus in knee - CBSSports.com

but after the season, Drew confirmed.

SC Interview: Brees says he played this season with a torn MCL - Shutdown Corner - NFL*Blog - Yahoo! Sports

2010 was also Drew's worst year for interceptions. It had a direct effect on how Drew planted his feet for a pass, especially on longer passes.

That's what happens when you "hold out" and miss training camp. Your arm gets tired later because it didn't get tired during training camp. LOL

From my understanding the legs is used to zip the ball, than the upper-body which his arms maybe fatigued
