re: Most disappointing players this year

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.
