The offense is still struggling.John Daughertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662525639373355257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-869826050923618103.post-26361735282357457472010-11-08T21:17:49.482-05:002010-11-08T21:17:49.482-05:00I've watched him play multiple games.

You are the only one that I know who thinks Brees has performed at a level anywhere near whats normal for him.<br /><br />The Manning point was that interceptions like that happen. It's not like other QBs dont have INTs that aren't necessarily their fault. Eli has thrown a ton of picks that have bounced off his receivers hands. Peyton has a ball that his receiver handed to a DB and a pick with 10 secs left. Unlucky INTs happen to all QBs. That being the case, INTs are still very relevant to seeing how a QB is playing. No coincidence that Brees and Favre are leading the league in INTs.<br /><br />Brees has still thrown a ton of bad/horrible picks so far. He has more INTs than last year already this year. That's not due to some incredible leap of unlucky picks. He's just making a lot more bad throws/bad decisions this year.John Daughertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662525639373355257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-869826050923618103.post-91974081423563797172010-11-08T20:29:30.449-05:002010-11-08T20:29:30.449-05:00John your manning point is just proving my point. ...John your manning point is just proving my point. You are basing Brees' bad year off his interception number - not how he has actually played in each individual game in its context. <br /><br />Coming into the week Brees was leading the league in TD passes - with 16. He was passed this week by Rivers who now has one more than him. <br /><br />Just because the guy won't win an MVP doesn't mean he isn't performing at a high level.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17973305729605742339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-869826050923618103.post-63185621631485122212010-11-08T11:16:48.056-05:002010-11-08T11:16:48.056-05:00Wild Bill, I wish Brees the best of luck with any ...Wild Bill, I wish Brees the best of luck with any complications he or his son may be experiencing with their health right now. However, he sucks this year. R.B. will be back soon enough but I still like my Bucs for division champs. BTW, a little off topic, why can I not help but feel sorry for Wade Phillips?J.C.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17034377815078647444noreply@blogger.com
