Whitlock on PTI


CRA

Recommended Posts

I disagree agree with lots of his junk but he made a comment today I have believed for years....

There is a difference between Brees and the other big 3 he gets lumped into. Brees is good for about 3 WTF are you thinking throws or gambles a game. He will turn the ball over.

Whitlock is right that nationally that gets swept under the rug and no one mentions.

For example since Newton has entered the NFL.....the relatively raw and gambling youngster only has 5 more turnovers compared to Brees who is at the peak/prime of his career.

People may claim Newton is doing better but overall is has been viewed as someone who hasn't taken care of the ball well?

Brees? No one talks about it.....and he isn't on par with Brady, Rodgers, Peyton in that regard.

not really fair to compare his turnovers to cams given the disparity in pass attempts between them

When you factor in the number of hits Cam has taken since entering the NFL....I think it is fair.

He has 335 rush attempts to even out the opportunities for turnover

I can't tell if this is serious

Yes.

Brees doesn't protect the ball as well as the group of QBs he automatically gets lumped into.....and no one ever mentions that.

To beat him....you need to capitalize on that IMO.

He brings the same deadly passing threat....but has more hiccups than the other elite guys

I read something today that I couldn't believe and don't know if true, but unbelievable if true-no QB under 6' has been drafted in the first two rounds in over 60 years. Brees is BARELY considered 6', Wilson is under 6' by a good bit. Doesn't guarantee anything but a shocking stat about the difficulties of a "short" QB and the odds of them succeeding long term.

    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO) 
    • looks like the Lions and Bangles should forget about the playoffs, trade everyone they can, and start over.
