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 question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't. 
    • I really like David Moore. He's a reliable WR. Smart, doesn't drop the ball and he's where he's supposed to be. Now, he ain't gonna route up a DB. He ain't gonna 50/50 ball a DB. He ain't gonna run by a DB either. But he runs a good enough route and catches the ball - definitely an NFL average WR. Every team could use a David Moore. Now if this receiving group can force Dan and Dave to let him go, then this team has come a long way since 2023. A LONG way. But I will say that Horn's speed is a big deal. They don't really have another guy with speed and quickness to blow the top off the defense and make guys miss in space after the catch, though he is still a rookie and hasn't done it in the NFL. If he and Renfrow push Moore out, then we might actually have something gents. Plus I see Renfrow as Thielen's replacement in 2026. I just don't think Coker is the reliable, move the chains guy like Thielen. Could be wrong. 
    • david newton still doesn't have a clue. how long has he been doing this?
