Let's see, Reconstructive Surgery on his Throwing Shoulder - Check; Approaching 40 Years Old - Check

Look if you don't think his arm is weakening, you're kidding yourself...

That said, I still take Brees over 30 (maybe 29 now that Wentz has progressed) in this league right now...

His experience, leadership, knowledge is superior or equal to the elites of the game this past fifteen years...

As long as one is working out there is almost no strength loss even at his age. This has been proven with studies. The loss at that age is cardio. He has always had a less powerful arm but good enough.

Drew was pressing it and that is it. he does it every year for a couple of game.

lets hope it is over for the next 2 weeks

This is more about physiology than physical strength.

You guys are blind if you cant see that his arm strength isnt what it was a few yrs ago. His ablity to throw the deep ball has dropped off .im not saying he cant do it anymore he can just not as often and if you cant see that you don't watch the games must be listening on the radio or something.

Arm strength may be minutely less but the problem is he's taking too long to make the decision on the long throw at times.

WR's not named Thomas aren't getting any separation. No one is open.
Romo pointed this out a couple of times on Sunday.

Bingo! If no one is open, a pocket QB takes a lot more time in the pocket.
The 2017 offensive line is outstanding in run blocking and average at best in pass blocking. It's been like this since week 1.

Exactly what I said in another thread, receivers not named Michael Thomas are letting us down. Ginn, Coleman or snead cannot create separation.

We need better receivers.
