Drew Brees and the Oline (1 Viewer)

they can toss around all the analytics they want....Drew is throwing for under 60% completion - for a reason.

In that stat, the leading factor is sack rate. Drew will throw away before taking a sack. That should be adjusted for. ( they only adjust for penalties on throw aways- intentional grounding- and drew does good job of avoiding by throwing to feet or past LOS )

When Drew has clean pocket, he is one of the best. When he doesnt, its average for a 41 yr old QB.

Saints OL also allow very few pressures relatively speaking, I think it was 16 through 3 games this year. The Bengals were nearly 4x as many. You make it seem as if Brees is dealing with lots and lots of pressure relative to other QB's - except the basic facts are he isn't and he has a very good OL.

But if you prefer to believe in your feelings about Brees' feelings, that's up to you.
