Interesting Brees Red Zone Stats

I was in San Diego a couple of weeks ago visiting family and talked to several Charger fans. I talked to them about Brees and they all said the only gripe about him is red zone performance. I didn't think much about it at the time (after pounding Tampa) but after today I started wondering. Don't get me wrong, I love Brees and still felt like we had an outside chance to tie the game today when we were down 21 with 5 minutes to go. But here are the stats:


Brees 2005 2004 2003

He is tied with Kerry Collins and Marc Bulger for most picks during that 3 year span even though he had a great year in 2004. In 2005 he was tied for second in picks with Brady and Brunell. In 2003 he was tied for most picks in the league with Collins and Bledsoe. Here's to getting back on track next week against the dirty birds
