Brees can't throw an NFL 15 yard out. We saw it on 2 plays in a row where he lobbed the ball to the sideline. He can't throw the ball down the field unless a guy is open by 10 yards. He doesn't trust himself to get it there, and he won't even try. When we crucify our receivers we need to remember this. Some WRs have to run routes more than 15 yards down the field on any given play. But they won't be getting thrown to because of Drew's arm strength.
By the time we get to the playoffs, some team will shut down the short passes and the run, and we won't be able to take advantage on 15 yards and deeper opportunities. And then if the defense doesn't carry us, we will be out again.
He has touch. That matters equallyBrees can't throw an NFL 15 yard out. We saw it on 2 plays in a row where he lobbed the ball to the sideline.

So why doesn’t he throw downfield thenHis eyes/reads more than make up for any issues with arm strength. a Lot of QB's have cannons but can only diagnose 1-2 routes that's much easier to defend than a "OK" arm but can read 4-5 routes effectively.
If I’m not mistaken he threw a great 15 yard out to thomas in the first quarter
That was Drew's best deep ball of the last Two seasons, he couldn't have placed it any better running down the field and handing it to Ted.only saw a few bad throws -- and had one dropped that was perfect downfield by Ginn
