Drew Brees - 26 - .31%

He's now 90th in pick 6/pass attempt.

Not bad company. All 4 are QBs that had to carry their teams most of their careers.

So he doesn't suck? Wow!

Oh, and thanks for finishing the research. Busy trying to get dinner ready. Not easy these days with a bum spine.

Most Pick Sixes Thrown in NFL History

I said I believe "since he entered the league", not where he ranks all time. I also said that is the down side to throwing so much. Yes, the number is lower, per attempt, but when you throw it as much as we do you run the high risk of disaster. You gotta have some balance. We did in '09.

But kind of you to misinterpret my entire post.

No, you didn't say that. Gumbo even highlighted what you wrote in his reply.

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.

This thread had absolutely nothing to do with your post in the other thread. Don't flatter yourself.

Um, can you then explain what it does mean as it is very comprehensible in its original form?

Brees is playing lights out. Hard to believe he is doing so well without a running game, without a screen passing game, and without having all the starting lineman most of the year.

spkb25 · 10-25-2016, 05:38 AM

yeah and he did that against a team playing at home with what was touted as a really good backend

hagan714 · 10-25-2016, 06:28 AM

?

once again every time Drew steps on the field he has to score. That is never good.

Budsdrinker · 10-25-2016, 08:22 AM

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.
