There is always talk about the differences in 2019 and 2020 when Brees was and wasn't on the field. We're all speculating how the team will look this year, so I thought I'd look up some numbers the Saints had in 2019 and 2020. This is comparing games Brees started and finished with Bridgewater and Hill. I also included the playoffs in the averages. The two games Brees left due to injury I excluded. In 2019, the offense was heavily skewed to passing with Brees, whereas it became more balanced under Bridgewater. The 2020 offense was pretty evenly balanced, and the pass:run ratio essentially mirror flipped with Taysom Hill as QB. The Saints averaged 6 points per game less with Bridgewater and Hill than they did with Brees. The defense improved by 4.5 points per game without Brees in 2019, and a staggering 10.9 points per game in 2020. It is going to be very interesting to see how the team performs in their first season without Brees!
