I had to make a thread about this guy. This guy is in the zone, have see his passes he even completes them when the guys are perfectly covered. Not since Montana have a I seen a QB so accurate. This is guy is straight up pimpin out there.

Just heard on the radio yesterday was 15th best passer rating in NFL history when you take off the 158.3 cap... 207 Rating.
2nd best ever with 20+ attempts

I told you guys we should have drafted him. But everyone wanted Koren Robinson. And we got Andre Carter.

I use this example a lot.
I don't blame the Chargers one bit. Brees showed absolutely NOTHING pre Rivers draft. In the long run GM's fare much better being willing to replace your franchise QB sooner rather than later. You will be validated far more often then you will be ridiculed.

Brees isn't just an accurate QB, he's rediculously accurate.
Yeah, he can throw the ball to lead the receiver or throw it at the receiver's numbers, but this guy is so accurate that he literally throws the receivers open even if he throws them off their routes but not so far off where they can't make the adjustment.
If I were to compare him to anyone, it would be Montana.
It's interesting to see the difference between Brees and P. Manning.
Manning is a more of a Pre-Snap QB wherease Brees is more of a Post-Snap QB. What I mean is that Manning has the Defense figured out prior to the snap and has the outcome of the play determined prior to the snap. However, if anything changes after the snap between the 1 second to 2 second point, Manning is flustered and almost useless, like a robot.
Drew Brees on the other hand, makes critical adjustments within the pocket from his excellent footwork AND on top of that, if the defense changes anything, Brees' accuracy allows him to still make a throw that ONLY helps his receiver get open for the catch.
Very impressive to watch this guy handle defenses and DBs like they're children.

The secret to the Saint's offense--one small misstep!
Read most of the article at a tire shop yesterday....it's all about making the linebackers and safeties move the wrong way.

A guy who knew just a little something about QBs said before the draft that he would take Drew Brees ahead of Michael Vick. Oh ya.. that guy was Bill Walsh.
