Brees breaks NFL single season completion record


Jmac

Recommended Posts

72% completion rate for 2017. We will need our Dline to put him on his ass and get him moving around big time. Our secondary certainly can't carry the load. Between the improved running game and Brees, it's a handful.

Have to give the dude credit...hate him or not, he is some QB and one of the best ever. Wilks better be doing his homework. The offense needs to control T.O.P also....fingers crossed.

Lol and this wasn’t even Brees best year by any stretch.

Shows you what happens when you have a smaller sample size throwing and asked to make shorter and easier throws with a guy like Brees.

Completion percentage =/= accuracy.

Either way, Brees still is one of the best in the game.

I hate that the Chargers let the Aints get Brees but I'll be damned if he isn't one of the best to ever play the game. If I didn't hate the Aints so much, it would've really been a shame to see them wasting his career the past several years and I'd be happy for him this year. But fug them, let's knock them out early.

Completion percentages doesn’t matter  those are just stats and are meaningless:eyeroll:

meh.  Brees is still good.  He isn't as dominant as he use to be.    

I mean he just broke what...Sam freaking Bradford's record?  Did that make Bradford good? Brees had the least production he has ever had in over a decade.

No comparison. Brees has been great his all career after S.D. Bradford is Bradford. I hate the little bastard for what he does to us, but i won't deny him his props.

My only point is hyper focusing on competition percentage leaves a lot out. Which is why I brought up Bradford or you could use Cam for the other side of that coin. 

Brees is still good.  I don’t find him as scary as he was a few years ago

I dunno know about that. If I am not mistaken he lead the NFL in Yard per Attempt this year for the first time in his career (Or at least he was a couple of weeks ago).

    • I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...
    • Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
