The problem with the Brees assessment is that he is hardly a neutral observe--what else would you expect him to day. It is unfair to judge him on one game. But it does seem the camp assessments by Duncan and Underhill were much too rosy. I do not question his intangibles. I doubt question his size and his arm strength, which to me seems marginal.

Huh?

Even Strief said during the broadcast that it would take a detailed eye like Drew to make sense of the INT. His arm strength while not Jameis is definitely better than marginal. Seems like you're going out of your way to downplay what was an above average outing for him.

While he came down to earth, that's to be expected vs a different looks than what he saw from the same defense day in and out. Stil, he displayed the moxie that Allen alluded to, as well as a short memory after the pick. His mobility translated on the first down conversion and he didn't take a sack (that I recall). He got through his progressions and looked about as poised in the pocket as a rookie can look. Also didn't hold the ball long, and trusted his eyes on a lot of throws.

Forgot to add, he operated the 2min offense very well!
