I thought the same thing when I read that.

Drew Brees DOESN'T throw the ball downfield well. Frankly, he rarely even attempts to.
There wasn't a quarterback less likely to attempt a deep throw than Drew Brees last year. Nor was there a quarterback worse at them when he did.

I'm not talking about deep balls bud

Travis Kelce should be destroying Sandbox defenses in the intermediate but apparently all he does is catch flat passes and get dumptrucked.

2018 Brees YPA 8.2
2018 Sandbox Brees YPA 7.12

With my OL, receivers, running game...balderdash.

I'm not even good on third down. Below average in completion percentage.

With Drew Brees?

And these weapons?

Man...I'm really gonna feel it when I lose Kerryon Johnson.

I kinda felt like Dalvin Cook would be a fine replacement for him but I never expected Johnson to be this good - he's been elite. Cook won't duplicate that.

He'll be adequate, I'm sure. But more in a 4.8 YPC sort of way instead of the 6+ and several massively important plays/gm that I'm getting out of Kerryon right now. Zeke has been the clear class of the field among RBs thus far but Kerryon has gotta be at 2 right now given his combination of workload, TD productivity and exceptional YPC.

It's been real, Kerryon...

"Who can't throw the ball downfield...."

Brees didn't.

Yeah, the Kelce complaint is legit (and legitimately hilarious; god I love seeing those 10 targets for 2 catches, 8 yards and a drop lines from the guy), but you're just lashing out at anything at this point.

If you're irritated about Brees not throwing the ball downfield or not doing it well, I'm just not sure why - he DOESN'T.

Zeke might crack 2000 rushing yards.. Hes a beast.

What’s worse: having to wait the full two hours for me to make my draft picks or listening to Clay cry about his shitty team getting dad dicked?

You taking forever to pick. It’s pure enjoyment seeing Clay suck

I'm afraid to even test drive Cook right now. I know I'm gonna have to have him shoulder the burden down the stretch (losing my RB3 as well) so I'm trying to keep the tread fresh. And Johnson is just playing too damn well to reduce his workload.

**** it, we'll do it live! Gonna have to build the plane as I'm flyin' it...

Is this what Patriots fans watching Tom Brady throw flutter balls sound like right now?

I have a hypothesis around penalties. And i'm measuring my findings on it based on game play. There is a correlation there.

When I say "downfield," again, not deep balls.

My passing game isn't functioning as it should, given my excellent OL, multiple deep threats, playmaking TE, deadly running attack.

It's neither consistent nor efficient. It seems to waffle between "BREES HITS EVANS FOR 25 YARDS!!!" and "Kelce for a two yard loss"

That's not Brees.

Kelce would absolutely destroy shit with Brees.
