It's more of a career trolling thing.

No. His height doesn't handicap him, his INTs do. That, and he statpads/gets a lot of stats from short throws. Don't get me wrong, I love him and he does go vertical with the ball, but he gets a LOT of production from short stuff.

So you're giving him credit for going through his progressions.

Pretty sure last weekend someone put up some stats of the best deep ball qbs this year (balls that traveled 20 yards in air) and Bree's numbers were far better than all the others.

You're both right. He's been the best deep ball QB this year, but he also throws the highest percentage of passes behind the LOS in the NFL. He's probably at the top for passes within 10 yards of the LOS too

So he's good at making all the throws? Not sure how this is a bad thing

Well, that doesn't say anything about intermediate throws. Dink, dink, dink, dink, go over the top.

So we have stats on short and deep passes but not intermediate?

Wait, are you saying that because Brees is the best at the long ball and throws short passed well he can't through intermediate passes? Dude

Too many int's in his career.



I've heard other people say this, but Drew's TD/INT ratio is very, very good.

350/173
