Bree's lost a step?

NOLA54 · 10-25-2016, 05:42 PM

Maybe if our run game was better he wouldn't have to throw so much.

He hasn't lost squat

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.

Been trying to verify or disprove that statement, but I did find that as of October 15, 2013 Brees was tied for 10th with the most career pick sixes at 19. Manning had 25 at the time and Favre had 35. Although, among all QB's that had thrown at least five pick sixes he is only ranked 111th in pick sixes per pass attempt.

Most Pick Sixes Thrown in NFL History

Drew's now 4th on the list of total Pick 6's thrown

Brett Favre - 35 - .32% of attempts
Dan Marino - 30 - .33%
Payton Manning - 29 - .31%
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.

If DB came to the Saints in 2016 as another late career QB (ie Bobby Douglas, Kenny Stabler). He would still be one of the best QBs we ever had.

This is very true. I was so pumped when we got Stabler. But, just like Manning, he had no help at all.

Someone (Dude) took that to mean that Drew throws more overall ints than other QBs.
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.

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