Bree's lost a step?

His accuracy is going kaput. Who is out there to draft? There is definitely nobody in the league now that would hold a candle to him. I think his contract was structured the way it is to benefit both parties. Saints get a year or two to draft and develop someone and Brees gets the opportunity to play for someone else for a year or two. It's got to happen but how? How are the prospects?

Bree's is still playing at an all pro level and will be a top 5 Qb again after this year. There is not a whole lot of blame to put on the guy. Qbs throw interceptions it happens.

Re: Bree's lost a step?

I'm a bit confused by this, myself. You said his accuracy is going "kaput" and that he's playing like an all-pro, in the same post. Those two things sort of contradict one another. It's gotta be either one or the other.

Also, what's up with the apostrophe in his name?

Don't worry. Drew's accuracy this season, 68.5%, is still above his career average, 66.4%, and his career average is the highest in the history of the NFL.

Re: Bree's lost a step?

Brees would be even better if our O-line was stable.
Stable as in consistent personnel wise and production in the run game.
I'm sure Brees would be happy anywhere near 30/30 run/pass.
If we could consistently get 4-5 yards on 1st down, it would change everything.
If we could consistently run convert on 3rd-and-1, that would be a big plus.
At the moment play action doesn't freeze anybody. Other teams are not even concerned.
They know Brees is going to throw 40+ times, so the run for them is an after thought,
because it seems to be an after thought for us too.
Whoever Drew's replacement is will inherit the same predicament unless
Payton decides to do something about it.
We have to develop a run game to take the pressure off whoever comes next.
Drew can handle carrying that kind of load - proven - can't see who else could.
Escapability might be the only advantage some new guy might have.
And that has proven dangerous in recent years.

Re: Bree's lost a step?

This is a reactionary thread to something that someone (me) posted in another thread.
Part of my post said that I bet my son $20 that Drew would throw a pick6 in KC.
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.
Check the time codes from the reply to my post to the start of this thread.

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.

?

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