Re: Bree's lost a step?

The only thing I don't like is it appears to me Drew is panicking a little too much and throwing the ball away a little too quick. It is better than throwing a pick or taking a hard hit but I wouldn't mind seeing him maybe scramble a bit and gain a couple positive yards then slide. I much prefer 2nd and 7 over 2nd and 10. Still allows the chance to run the ball.

And if the Saints scored more points than the team they're playing they'd win.

Re: Bree's lost a step?

Brees has looked better this season than his previous three, IMHO...

Some of that has to do with an experienced burner in Cooks, a fast, healthy "X" receiver in Thomas and a a very good, rock-solid underneath guy in Snead IV...

But I'd agree we need to acquire our "Steve Young" now and not when Brees or his contract run out...

Re: Bree's lost a step?

That pick was on butterfingers, not Drew. Many of INTs (as all QBs) are from good throws.

Re: Bree's lost a step?

Can we save these until we see an actual decline

He HAS thrown, to my mind, a lot more pick6s that other great QBs over the years.
That is why I made the bet with my son and also why I won that bet.
Now we have another sarcastic-ass thread trolling Brees' perceived decline.
Check the time codes from the reply to my post to the start of this thread.

I didn't see where you said any of that, but you weren't wrong. I believe he has the most pick sixes in the NFL over the course of his career. There IS a downside to all the passes he throws, despite what his completion percentage would indicate. My only clue of a decline from Brees has been the excessive amount of dump off throws. Part of it has been bad O-line play, but he also seems like he gives up too quick. His decision making just hasn't been as sharp.

But by no means has anything gone "kaput" with him. If this offensive line were better, not just against the pass rush, but if they could provide a running game, our offense could be 2011 good again. To me it's as simple as that.

Re: Bree's lost a step?

I guess it's just something to talk about, better than the election I guess.
It does however have similar content though.

Re: Bree's lost a step?

Brees was statistically the third best QB in the NFL last week. He's (yet again) playing at an elite, HOF level. And that's with a subpar (putting it mildly) supporting cast.

Want to talk about something how about how this franchise could well go down in history as having wasted one of the best ever QB talents without even so much as sniffing the playoffs last 5 or so years of his career...

Oh and the INT, about a foot off. 12", other than that he was perfect. I'll settle for that Loss of Step anyday.
