Drew Brees and the Art of the Untimely Interception
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have personally been a staunch supporter and at times defender of Brees' play over the years, because I believe that quarterbacks, although they get the lion share of the praise when things go well, also get unfairly criticized when things go south. Yes, Brees isn't what he used to be physically, but there are plenty of strong-armed quarterbacks riding the pine in the NFL, selling insurance in a strip mall or working a nine-to-five job to earn a hard living like you and me.

Where Brees has made his mark in the NFL despite being a diminutive quarterback who has always possessed an average arm, is with his smarts and his accuracy. But the smarts come first: make a good decision then fit the ball in the window you've diagnosed to be the best to throw into.

Can't really argue with anything in that article

Brees has been making decisions that a rookie QB would be annoyed at.

Something is really wrong, Brees used to be one of the best QB's when the pocket would break down because of his awareness, now he just starts panicking and lobbing the ball anywhere.

Brees also used to be the best QB in the league when teams would send pressure, now he's statistically the worst.

Besides the Detroit game, we've ran for over 120 yards each week
We are 6th in the league in rushing, I don't think the running game is our issue
It might be an issue if Brees if checking out of plays when we should be running the ball because he wants to pass.

We pass 63.7% of the time, not 85-90, but yes, we should run more. A nice 60/40 mix would be fine with me.

If we're passing 63.7% of the time, we're right there are your 60/40... That ratio will fluctuate game to game, regardless...

Something has been off with the whole team this year. It's not just Drew. They do look to be getting better. Drew was doing exceptionally well in the DET game until that 3rd and 9 INT.

I would venture to say that as a whole, the NFL is having a down year.

Looks like we are running well enough, especially in the first 2 games... All points to defense as the problem...
Week #1 = 139 rush yards
Week #2 = 174 rush yards
Week #3 = 108 rush yards
Week #4 = 108 rush yards
Week #5 = 140 rush yards
Week #6 = Bye
Week #7 = 73 rush yards
