Pretty decent read. No bashing of the short throws - just some data and a lot of accolades.
Drew Brees Almost Never Throws Deep Anymore. Is That A Problem For The Saints?
It hasn’t been so far.
Brees is a lot better than the typical short passer
Highest total QBR in a season among passers with fewer than 7.0 air yards per attempt and fewer than 8 percent of passes traveling at 20+ air yards, 2006-2020
Despite his lack of arm strength and disinclination to throw any deeper than 20 yards downfield, Brees has added value through sheer accuracy and ability to read defenses. It has been a magic act worth appreciating.
