re: Drew in 09 vs 16

Those plays include plays like the 98 yard TD to cooks, where he literally had to lob it 30 yards. I'm not saying there is anything to be concerned about YET, but those kind of stats are pretty much irrelevant. Deep ball efficiency does not equal arm strength.

Arm strength doesn't always equate to good quarterbacks either. You're always on here spouting off about his arm strength, when he continues to lead the league in almost every category. There are a lot of people who can throw a football hard and have this arm strength you seemed to be obsessed with, but how many of them can equate that into the same results that Brees gets every year? There aren't many, and before you say Rogers, Drew has consistently out performed him in basically every category. Why do you continuously try to get people to validate that he's lost arm strength? He's still out producing basically every QB in the league, and if he had any defense behind him at all the past few seasons he could have very well have lead this team to another super bowl.

You're constant argument about his arm strength is fricking pointless and I'm honestly tires of seeing you start threads about how he's declining. It's not some fricking amazing discovery you've made that a person loses athletic ability as they age. The difference at this point is obviously having much of an effect because he continues to destroy defenses in a weekly basis.

Keep bitching about it though. You'll be right eventually, and then you can jump on here and tell everyone how smart you were. I personally don't give a shite how hard he can throw the ball if he's still playing at a high level.
