I listened to Brees after the game when he was asked about his arm strength. Brees debunked the myth about "arm strength" and said that throwing power and velocity comes from his core - not his arm. He also said that because his core (oblique) was compromised last year, he had to make compensations in his throwing motion, which affected some other things such as accuracy. He went on to say that in the offseason, he went back to the basics and re-tweaked his mechanics to get it back to the way it should be, and it showed last night! I was sitting in the opposite endzone during the 1st qtr, and i couldnt believe how accurate his throws were. Not only that, but eventhough I could see the routes developing from where I sat, it's amazing how calm he is under pressure and how he checks down all of his receivers b4 making his throw.
