Completion pct: 70% (1st)

Rating: 101.4 (5th)
Yards: 4,358 (3rd)

*Note: Week 16 excluded for sake of comparison across league mid-weekend and is statistically immaterial due to stage of season

He's not average.
He's not better than Romo, either.
He's not top five anymore.

is top 5 in everything really what we'd call average, now?

Totally makes up for today.

Apparently it is, especially in light of his #1 target being soft and his OL being bottom tier due to Armstead dealing with injuries.

How do these rankings equal "average, mediocre?"

Ummmm,
Isn't there a Board here about the Saints? Wouldn't you think this subject beings there?
Or because Brees played in San Diego does discussion of him belong here?

He's top 10 easily. With prob the top 5 worst weapons in the league. And his oline is average at best. Dude is elite.

Top 5 in damn near every category and he's average/mediocre?

Brees is very good quarterback obviously and a HOF'er. Right now, he is not at elite NFL QB level.

Because he plays an individual sport like tennis? Foolish me, I thought he had 52 teammates and 10 coaches are also having to contribute to a victory or a loss.

He's top 5 in every statistic, but hes somehow mediocre.
Posted on 12/21/14 at 6:50 pm to Lou Pai
Don't feel the need to justify a HOF QB to an Internet message board my man. Let it rest, come back strong next year

There's this thing called a defense. As a Falcons fan, I know you're not used to seeing one this year, just like us.
Posted on 12/21/14 at 6:51 pm to Lou Pai
What I've learned so far in this thread: one man can't win for the shortcomings of a whole team. That's some deep shite there, fellas. Glad I could interpret it for you.

You don't seem very intelligent. New Orleans' schedule has been especially tight this year, with an average margin of victory of (0.7). Most who have watched the Saints this year would note that the Saints have not been blown out other than by Dallas and haven't really blown out other teams this year. If anything, the lack of garbage time that Brees has played in would strengthen your argument, as QBs with weaker defenses generally outperform in some of these categories, for obvious reasons. However, you seem a little too dense to be able to conclude that without someone else pointing it out.

Interesting, I disagree with the implication that this is a relevant stat, given that it is a team statistic and doesn't take into account other factors such as defensive play and the running game, for instance. However, given that, what do you think of Cam Newton's performance this year? Also, was Matt Ryan a mediocre quarterback last year?

Their defense looked like the 85 Bears against us today

Top 6 in Qb rating playing on a bad team. But he's not elite.
Grow up. This is considered a bad year for him. Wow
