you can see from this that between 09-11 Brees was the best at the deep ball: https://www.profootballfocus.com/blo...-deep-passing/ But this year that Big PA and slugo seem route have not been there. |

Re: 2-3 going into the bye week; 1 game back of division lead
He did throw a lot of passes and he also seldom throws deep anymore. His muscle memory of force is off and his arm was also tired is how I see it.
Granted, he doesn't have a cannon but he can still chuck it mighty far enough if needed. We've had gunslingers before. They sucked. Can't have it all folks. |

His arm looks exactly the same as it always has. He has always under thrown most of his deep throws

He's become Captain Checkdown. I think he's arm has become weaker the past few years but with his accuracy, he should be able to get away with it and he hasn't. Let's use Peyton for example. His arm strength is not there anymore either but he makes it up with outstanding ball placement and timing. Arm strength shouldn't be an excuse for guys like Peyton and Drew. Drew needs to get his mind in the right place and be smart with the football. Get back to what makes him an elite quarterback. Precision, timing, and making smart decisions.

I agree with this. He was never hitting receivers in stride on the deep balls. He just was extremely accurate, made tremendous decisions, had tons of time, and would throw the ball to anybody on the field. Now it's Graham or the other team.

Re: 2-3 going into the bye week; 1 game back of division lead
Maybe in practice our receivers are a step slower -- so Drew under throws to compensate? I do not buy the arm strength BS. Anyway, message delivered from the haters. I hope he throws a 35+ yarder to Meach against DET and STHU.
