Drew Brees and the Art of the Untimely Interception

QBREES9 · 10-22-2014, 12:58 PM

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.

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.

There is no way on earth Dallas should be 6-1 & we should be 2-4 yet it is a fact. Teams that were picked to be bad are winning & teams that were picked to go all the way are loosing with the exception of GB. It has been a crazy season so far.

Hey Teddybare or Ted or whatever, try starting a post without the phrase "I told you all", " Well I said it before", "I was right.." or any combination of those or other self righteous posts or comments and you probably will get taken more seriously. All I read is the first couple of sentences of your comments and then stop because by the second sentence there's usually you brow beating someone else for disagreeing with your self proclaimed perfect logic or a comment about how you were right. Usually a combination of the two.

Just my opinion here (since you probably think yours is law) but I don't think anything you've said today makes any more sense than anyone else's opinion. In fact, I don't agree with you at all. And I think the posters you've been arguing with have made better and more logical points. Then again, they prob aren't trying to get a pat on the back or told how wonderful they are.

You mean the one where Jabari Greer gave up the winning TD in the back corner of the end-zone with 34 seconds left?

We already have the #2 ranked offense in the league, I could understand if we had the #30th ranked offense running a lot more would help. We could have the 10th ranked offense and if we had a better defense, we'd be super-bowl bound.

We could be running for 200+ every game and lose with this defense...

But I'm tired of arguing, it's like arguing with a fence-post...

but we did run for 174 in week 2 and still lost, but I guess that stat is misleading...

I can't even read his posts. I may agree with some points he makes, or I may disagree, but I'll never know because I refuse to let my eyes be destroyed on a daily basis.
