Re: Drew Brees regains NFL's record for completion percentage in a season
In American football, a game manager is a quarterback who, despite relatively poor individual statistics such as passing yards and touchdowns, performs well enough to win games. Game managers often benefit from strong defense and rushing offense on their teams.
Game manager - Wikipedia In 2017... Highest accuracy (in NFL history) - 72% Highest yards per attempt - 8.09 Most completions - 386 2nd highest passer rating - 103.9 4th highest total passing yards - 4,334 5th highest 1st down % These are not "relatively poor individual statistics", therefore, Brees doesn't fit the definition of "game manager." Drew Brees 2017 salary is 5th in the NFL at $24.25m/year. Brees is a good deal by comparison to other quarterbacks. You could pay less but you're gonna get less of a quarterback. |
