Brees has always been looked at as the model of consistency, but that is not even close to being true.
He has a ton of career pick sixes, and his TD-Int ratio is much lower than Rodgers, Brady & Manning. With Drew you get a ton of offense, and 3-4 forced throws a game. Those forces have really hurt this year.

The year we get the run game together Drew seems to struggle. TF is up with that

Look, if Drew has no pressure and the receivers create separation -- that is a completed pass. This we know. ( Drew Bress <> Christian Ponder ) There is a positive correlation between pressure on the QB and poor pass completion percentage. IMO, the only thing the Drew Brees deserves criticism for is poor judgement when throwing under pressure while poorly anticipating opposing coverages. When he fails to perform in these areas he is not playing like the elite quarterback that we know he can be.

IMO the "in decline" comments are way too early in this balls up f-up of a season to merit much weight. All things influence all things. Just as stellar play of elite QBs can make receivers better -- poor play of receivers can make an elite QB look shi**y. So, can lack of a run game or lack of a defense.

Seems like some on this board need a goat and Drew Brees is wearing that hat today. I imagine he'll be wearing the crown again shortly. I just want to remind you how rare perfection is, in a single NFL game, and in a single NFL season. If we start winning, we'll hear the love songs again ( except from Dude ).

Shutdown defense in 2017 = Championship!

We were leading 13-3 when he threw two consecutive interceptions, both resulting in TD's

As bad as the defense has been, there was no need for him to force passes in that situation, he completely gave the bucs the momentum and it could have dropped us to 1-4

I just want to see one rainbow to Cooks, deep over the middle, hitting him in stride at the 10-15 yard line...too much to ask?

That's on Sean Payton.
Screen, screen, screen, occasional slant, and poor designed runs.

lol! When I watched the NFL rewind of the tampa game I saw so many screens that I thought something was wrong with the footage. Now I must admit it was getting good yards most of the time but I think we rely on it too much. Also, I think we need to put morgan in the game over meachem more often. Meachem doesn't have the same speed he used to and he doesn't fight for the ball in the air like he used to. I want to see morgan get some more opportunities this year. If it's one thing he can do very well it's get separation.

+1..No shiznit! That bubble screen/wheel route is getting old. Cooks is a burner and with those jets, isolate him one on one. Eventually he will smoke someone.
