Brees by a LARGE margin. The last 2 series should tell you all you need to know. He looked like a backups backup getting thrown in as a rookie.


The Saints offensive line has been one of the worst pass protection groups in the whole league. They are allowing Brees to be pressured on 30% of his drop backs. The only game this season where they allowed pressure on less than 25% of drop backs is against Minny.

On the final 2 drives against the Lions he dropped back 11 times and was pressured on 8 of those. Armstead and Strief are responsible for 5 of those.

The Saints, Broncos, and Pats are a combined 9-1 when their QB is pressured on less than 30% of their drop backs. They are a combined 3-6 when they are pressured on more than 30% of drop backs.

Brees (1), Manning (4), and Brady (3) are a combined 8-0 when pressured less than 25% of the time.

30% is one of the better pressure rates in the NFL usually

The problem is that our number is lower due to the volume of passes and the short stuff that gets it out quick. He's at 32.4%, which ranks 17th

Yes and NO

I don't call it pressure when he holds the ball so long he gets flushed out.

He is not his old self and is unsure of where he wants to go.

Sorry, but to me the pressure on the last 2 drives was also a byproduct of him not getting rid of the ball. And part of that is Colston can be covered by a DT basically,
