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. read more on NOLA | |

Re: Drew Brees thinks 80 percent completions is sustainable
Y'all...this was in the comments:
Saturn1 43 minutes ago I think 80% completions is sustainable for a healthy Drew Brees. I also think 80% completions against Williams and Crawley is sustainable. |

Brees QB rating is currently second in the league at 84.6. That’s freaking terrible. |

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

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. |
