Stats on deep passes?

I don't have stats on passes 30-40 yards deep.
However, I do have PFF's stats on "deep passes;" and they categorize deep passes as beyond 20 yards from the LOS.

In this stat, Brees is currently 7th in accuracy (at 46.2%), ahead of Matt Ryan, Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Philip Rivers, Nick Foles, and Tom Brady.




However, Brees is very low on number of attempts, as only 8.1% of his passes are beyond 20 yards.
No wonder our offense keeps stalling...defenses rarely have to worry that Brees will attempt a deep pass.
Payton needs to let him do his thing.

There you go with facts and logic again. That will ruin the fantasy that the haters have about Drew being done.

I knew this # was low and it blows my mind. Why no deep Stills passes like last year and the one in the Dallas game? I would be willing to bet that 8% number would be much lower if we didn't throw a ton of deep passes vs Dallas when we had to down 28.

Payton has just been play awful this year.
