So if he's holding the ball way longer in some situations, that means he is getting rid of the ball way quicker in other situations.

That should lead to a lower overall pressure %, yet that isn't the case.

Again, I am not defending the OL in this. The middle has been putrid and Brees has done overall a pretty damn good job with that, but he's continually made back breaking mistakes this season and sometimes taking the sack is the best thing to do.

The low sack numbers don't always mean the OL is bad nor does it mean they are good. Same for Brees. He's made some mistakes that just make you go WTF, because he's been so good at not making them, but on the road the past 2-3 seasons he's done that consistently.

I don't disagree, but that would actually mean holding onto the ball longer

Since 2007, he averages .85 ints at home and 1.16 on the road.

From 2012-today, he's averaging .78 ints at home, and 1.1 ints on the road.

If you take out the atlanta game, he's averaging .78 ints at home and .89 on the road.

2009: 4 to 7
2011: 6 to 8
