Kinda feel sorry for Drew Brees

When Brees was in his prime, Saints defense was unable to hold up and it cost them several times in the post season.  When the Saints defense got good, Brees wasn't able to make plays down the stretch to win the game. No way would I expect him to lose his final 3 playoff games at home to teams they were favored to beat.

After watching that game, Drew clearly can't throw downfield anymore. They were down with less than 5 minutes to play and the Saints were running the ball on first and second down. I don't think he threw a pass more than 20 yards downfield. Now, he walks off the field for probably for the last time...knowing that his last two passes in the NFL were interceptions at home against a team they really should have beat. Without the benefit of the 4 turnover (3 Int's by Brees and a fumble) Tampa would have lost this game.

During that 6 year stretch from 2008-2013 you could make an strong argument that he was the best QB in football. He had a great run. I'm sure he'll be ok in retirement.

As a fan of a sport, sucks to see him go out like that but I hold respect for him as a player and he got me super interested in the QB position when I was first getting into the sport.

I'm trying to remember the last big time quarterback I saw go out with a happy ending. Was probably Elway.

It doesn't happen often.

      PFF Best and Worst, Week 13

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I think what's been useful about PFF rankings on a weekly basis is to see how certain members of the defensive backfield perform according to them. I find it hard to judge Nick Scott and some of the others the last few weeks, though he's had some plays, so these scores are helpful there. Though when Derrick Brown doesn't show up at all it's a head scratcher.  I know week to week is irrelevant but he had a monster game by most accounts.

      Dream scenario for ending out the season

      By cranky · Posted

      Agreed the odds are stacked against us and I doubt we win it but you never know. I just know it's nice to be able to even have this conversation again.
