re: Brees vs Hill Sacks

How else are you going to do it if you don’t compare to him to the guy that started previously? There’s no one else to compare him to that started under the exact same supporting cast. No one said he has to have the numbers of Brees, just reduce them some at least.

The only others to compare with are 5 games of Teddy last year and Luke McCown in 2015.

Teddy got sacked 9 times in the 5-game stretch he started (1.8 or about 2 sacks/game) vs Hill's 13 over 3 starts, which is 4.33 sacks/game. That's over double the rate of Teddy B. Horrible...

McCown only got sacked once in his only start with the Saints, and I remember that game clearly. He got the ball out really fast every passing play because Carolina's pass rush that year was insane (that's the year they lost to the Broncos in the SB for reference).
