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).

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
