Drew Brees thinks 80 percent completions is sustainable
 

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees already holds the records for completion percentage in a single season and in a career. He actually has three of the four most accurate seasons in NFL history as well as Nos. 9 and 15.

There's no debate about who the most accurate NFL passer is, but Brees thinks he still has room to improve on the records he has.

Through three games this season, Brees has completed 80.6 percent of his passes, and he said Wednesday he thinks 80 percent is a sustainable number.

"I don't see why not," Brees said. "Listen, it's not easy. ... It's identifying matchups, it's making sure you get positive plays and in just about every case, a completion is a positive play, right?"

Brees, who has completed 67.1 percent of his career attempts, in 2017 set a new record by completing 72 percent of his passes as he completed one of the most efficient seasons of his career. His record broke Sam Bradford's mark of 71.6 percent, which Bradford did in 2016. Previously, Brees had the highest two marks, 71.2 percent in 2011 and 70.6 percent in 2009.

Nobody has come remotely close to 80 percent in a season, but at least one of Brees' teammates agrees that it's a possibility.

"If that's what he said, I'm going with him," tight end Josh Hill said.

I think 80% completions is sustainable for a healthy Drew Brees. I also think 80% completions against Williams and Crawley is sustainable.

Re: Drew Brees thinks 80 percent completions is sustainable
 

Actually I heard on the radio today that the QBs who have played against the Saints defense so far have a Combined Qb rating of almost 140. Perfect is 150.8.
Brees QB rating is currently second in the league at 84.6.
That’s freaking terrible.

Re: Drew Brees thinks 80 percent completions is sustainable
 

Ick. I hope that's not accurate.

Re: Drew Brees thinks 80 percent completions is sustainable
 

He has not thrown a pick in 139 attempts. Last year it was every 67 attempts. On pace for 3-4 picks.

Re: Drew Brees thinks 80 percent completions is sustainable
 

It’s accurate alright. As outlandish as that may sound.

Re: Drew Brees thinks 80 percent completions is sustainable
 

he can not maintain 80% if he throws to Ginn

Re: Drew Brees thinks 80 percent completions is sustainable
 

No, that is not accurate as far as Brees' rating goes.

Passer Rating

1. Patrick Mahomes • KAN 137.4
2. Ryan Fitzpatrick • TAM 124.8
3. Drew Brees • NOR 122.2
4. Ryan Tannehill • MIA 121.8
5. Philip Rivers • LAC 115.7
6. Jared Goff • LAR 111.0
7. Matt Ryan • ATL 106.5
8. Aaron Rodgers • GNB 104.5
9. Alex Smith • WAS 102.2
10. Cam Newton • CAR 99.7


Although, opponents' QB rating versus the Saints is indeed 141.7 ...

What radio show have you been listening to, Dude? I wouldn't count on their stats being accurate based upon that.

Re: Drew Brees thinks 80 percent completions is sustainable
 

Brees currently has 104 completions in 129 attempts with zero picks.

Re: Drew Brees thinks 80 percent completions is sustainable
 

Also, TD's. He's on pace for 40 plus and that's not counting his two rushing TD's. He's on fire that's for damn sure. MI though will take a decent chunk out of the attempts which, is a good thing. Need more games where Brees is on cruise control like last year.

Re: Drew Brees thinks 80 percent completions is sustainable
 

How is it possible that you alone, can sustain a +80% dissemination of incorrect information? You're higher than espn.


Brees's passer rating is 122.1

Re: Drew Brees thinks 80 percent completions is sustainable
 

A perfect passer rating is 158.3.

Re: Drew Brees thinks 80 percent completions is sustainable
 

Right, it is inaccurate. See link below for correct passer rating stats for the great Brees through 3 games.
BTW, 80.6 percent of passes complete ... ELITE at the position.

Yes. There are plenty of sources to get your facts straight. The problem is that local radio hacks are not aware of their existence. :D

Re: Drew Brees thinks 80 percent completions is sustainable
 

I heard the 141.7 on sports talk. So that stat is accurate.
As far as the other ratings go I was looking at the wrong stat line
Here is the link of where I got Brees Qb rating. It was like 2 am get over it. I did think it sounded kind of low. I wasn’t looking at total.
That being said the point of my post is that our defense is getting absolutely carved up. Once again you don’t want to talk about that. Instead of adding anything to the conversation you just want to use it as an opportunity to prove someone wrong.

Re: Drew Brees thinks 80 percent completions is sustainable
 

I agree the QB for our opponents is high we have played against the number 2 and number 7 rated QB’s. More than even the NFL is pass first run when needed and I think rushing attempts and yards are down across the league.

Re: Drew Brees thinks 80 percent completions is sustainable
 

That's a B- right? I thought he was better than that. :wink:

Re: Drew Brees thinks 80 percent completions is sustainable
 

You'll note I wasn't the only one to point out your error. ;)

Re: Drew Brees thinks 80 percent completions is sustainable
 

We are all aware of your fan club.
Others did point it out but the difference between them and you is that you do it incessantly. I feel kind of sorry for you really. Going around on the internet trying to get attention in orderto fill some sort of void in your life is a pretty sad way to live. That’s the only reason I really interact with you. It’s kind of out pity and a sort of charity.
If I can do something to make someone happy in life I’m all for it. No matter how pathetic they are.
