re: PFF: Brees just as good outdoors as indoors

I did some research into this two months ago (Nov. 12th). Here are the two posts that I made in a thread on MSB.

Brees’ Career as a Saint in Outdoor Games (including playoffs)

Yards per game: 293 (best since 2006)
Comp pct: 67% (best since 2006)
Passing TDs per game: 1.9 (4th)
*minimum 20 outdoor games played

Keep in mind all of these are road games for Brees as well. I could extrapolate the outdoor road numbers for all QBs for those interested.

This dataset is comparing Brees to other “tGOATs”

Outdoor road games (includes playoffs and Super Bowls) since 2006

Minimum of 10 games (NFL ranks on the left)

Passing yards per game
1. Brees: 293
3. Peyton: 280
4. Brady: 274
15. Rodgers: 251

Completion percentage
1. Brees: 67%
5. Peyton: 65%
15. Brady: 63%
25. Rodgers: 61%

Passing TDs per game
1. Brady: 2.0
2. Peyton: 1.93
3. Brees: 1.91
8. Rodgers: 1.75

Of course the ranks are a little different from the Brees ranks above because this takes in everybody’s outdoor road games.

I haven’t updated the numbers yet, but I can if anybody wants them out of curiosity (doubt there are any major changes though)
