The fade: Why the Saints are better than most on one of the NFL's lowest-percentage plays

Re: The fade: Why the Saints are better than most on one of the NFL's lowest-percentage plays

Brees has always been a master at placing the ball, and that trick of "throwing the ball where the other guy can't get it" and hitting the perfect spot. I was actually kinda enjoying watching Hundley on Sunday, there were several passing plays for the Packers (not all fades, but tight passes) where the receiver dropped it or it was batted down. And I turned to my wife a bunch of times and said, "See, Rodgers would have made that throw right there." The placement of the ball to the receiver's hands in traffic can sometimes be a matter of inches and micro-seconds. So it's no surprise to me that Drew is exceptional at it. It was really an interesting day. to watch the Packers offense in action without Rodgers. Parts of it looked the same, just not as good, but other parts you could tell where they simplified or dumbed it down. A lot of third downs where I was like, "oh Rodgers would have had that, no question."

Except I was saying how glad I was not to be looking at that ****** grinning as he did put it in there. This was a win I'm very happy for us to have regardless as to how it came about.

Back to Thomas and the fade; if he stays healthy and dedicated, I could see him adding a year or two onto Drew's longevity all by himself.
