Drew Brees Today 11/17/19 (1 Viewer)

All the old man did was go 28/35 80% 228yds 3 TDs.

It was quiet but effective. It felt like we dominated that game and it wasn't as close as the score indicated.

The refs tried to keep it close. Drew had another couple TDs in him.

Controlled the ball!

Flame away, but Brees’ lack of arm strength and “zip” on his throws is becoming undeniable.... and I’ve been denying it up to this point.

He’s still one of the all-time greats, but it puts a cap on the offense.

Jameis Winston has lots of arm strength and zip

Why does it need to be denied? He’s 40 years old.

Worry when his accuracy goes, not his arm strength.

Yeah, he stinks. Also, that up and over on the 4th and 1? Horrible.

 

[St.Fury]

It seemed to me like we kept trying to stretch the field from sideline to sideline, while Tampa was giving us the middle. Yet we never really tried to capitalize on it. That was a bit frustrating.

 

[GeauxSainz]

He might not quite have the distance he had (wasn’t ever really bombs), but he still has the accuracy and that’s off an injury AND surgery. Brees is still Brees and he’s fine.

[/ I know you are not bragging about those stats look like a bunch of dinking and dunking the offense scored 7 whole points second half the defense save his bacon today first couple of drives stalling in the Red Zone so settling for three 3 points

If he can't grip the ball as strongly as he normally can because of that thumb. That could also be affecting it. When you have that type of injury to your throwing hand I guarantee you if a are a MLB Pitcher or a QB that ball is going to come out differently no matter what though it doesn't mean it wont be ineffective.

Jameis Winston has lots of arm strength and zip

...and if he had the savvy, smarts, and accuracy of Drew Brees, he’d be an All-Pro.
Brees still has elite levels in all of those 3 areas, but if honestly think his arm strength isn’t a weakness now, you’re lying to yourself

Great point! ...and I believe that the thumb is a factor. Hopefully it continues to get better and better, and I end up looking like a paranoid fool

Bingo you are exactly right my friend this is what I've been saying for some time now he is a limited quarterback at this point and defensive coordinator know this when he play against better defenses he will have problems

Keep trying to psych yourself up to believe it's only his thumb is the problem
