The aging of Drew Brees

jeanpierre · 01-15-2019, 10:02 PM

Drew Brees is now a 40yo male with a reconstructed throwing shoulder - he doesn't have the arm strength he once had - period.

What Brees does have is, along with Tom Brady, one of the best minds on the field in his generation, other than Brady, there's no one in the league that can read and attack defenses better...

Brees is among the best ever in pre-snap read and analysis - upcoming and future generation players will try to emulate him in all aspects as a person and player...

That is what puts him in the GOAT conversation...

I tend to disagree to an extent. He never had great arm strength. He missed 2 deep balls by a fraction of a second. First throw he was a little off balance and didn't get to step into it. All his other throws are damn near perfect.
When his throws to the sideline and middle are off target and constantly batted down than we can say he's lost arm strength.
