Completely disagree. Drew's ability to make things happen under pressure is one of his greatest strengths and weaknesses.

If he just took the sack like everyone wants, we'd be blown out every game with this defense.

quote:
The defense hasn't been good, but we've lost 3 games on the road by a combined 6 points, and all with devastating INTs thrown by Brees at crucial times and all leading to points for the opponents that were the difference in the game.

And none of them fit what you're describing.

Atlanta was just a bad decision forcing it to Cooks over the top.

Cleveland was not on Brees. It was a blindside hit that he didn't see to a wide open receiver. He got hit right before his release, and it still went through Graham's hands.

That one was on Payton for going empty backfield on 1st and 10

Colston was actually open vs. Detroit, Brees just had to hesitate and got the ball there a half second late. He shouldn't have thrown it, and Colston should have read the play better.

quote:
but when they happen this much and just on clearly pathetic decisions, it is on Brees.

The Tampa was really the only game that you can put on Brees, and we won.

quote:
He built up a lot of good will in 2009 and 2011,

Wow. You mean from 2006-2013.

quote:
, but honestly since then, he's been mediocre

PFF QB Standings
2013 - 2
2012 - 4
2011 - 1
2010 - 4
2009 - 3
2008 - 7
2007 - 3

Last year, he threw a NFL best 10 TDs while under pressure to 6 Ints despite 8 drops.

quote:
, he's been mediocre

5,169 yards/season with 41 TDs to 15 Ints while completing over 65% of his passes is not mediocre

HE HAD A 105 PASSER RATING LAST YEAR

Honestly one of the dumbest posts I've ever read on tigerdroppings and Peej posts here.

Bad decision #1

Late on the throw is partly on Brees, but of course it's never his fault to some of you.

Again, purely on Brees. The play broke down and given the fact the Saints had a 6 point lead, the worst possible scenario was a stupid turnover there, which he forced.

Another game is Tampa. We are dominating them, and while Brees got pressured he threw two of the stupidest passes I've ever seen instead of taking the sack, which nearly cost them the game.

Brees has been a great QB through 2011, and I mean hall of fame great both in his stats and ability to make plays happen when needed. He puts up stats now and yet finds utterly bonehead ways to make mistakes. His road play has cost this team more than anything and I really don't care that he can put up video game numbers at home, when he plays horrid on the road.

Is the OL great? Not by any means, but Brees knows that and his bonehead plays aren't just inexcusable, they cost his team 3 games.

Drew is a great QB, but people acting like he can do no wrong and is never responsible for a loss are ridiculous. His great stats and performances over the years are why these types of bonehead plays are so damn hard to accept for a guy like him.
