Re: Drew Brees Almost Never Throws Deep Anymore. Is That A Problem For The Saints?
did anyone else notice Drew in the pocket being no where near as elusive? It looked to me a couple of times that he was sort of shuffling along after plays.( ankle ?) Those passes in the dirt could be some on purpose but it appears to me that he was unable to get clear enough to find a passing lane on some of them.

I hope that Payton scratches all out routes off his playbook for Sunday. If Tampa can jump a QB with a decent arm, y’all know I saying rite?

A lot of kickers have cannon legs, way more powerful than starting NFL kickers by and large but never make it to the NFL. Same for QB. Worthless skill without precise consistent accuracy. Brees could probably increase his power some but his accuracy would go down with more muscle.

You were implying that Brees doesn't have a decent arm and can't throw an out route as good as Daniel Jones. Brees has better than a "decent" arm and I'd trust him throwing any route better than Jones. Some people are under the false impression that Brees is a shell of his former self. He's never had a cannon for an arm, but he's never needed one because of his accuracy and decision making. Brett Favre said when he watches Brees play he looks as good as ever. I trust his judgement as well as my own eyes. I've watched every game that Brees has played in as a Saint and almost all as a Charger.
