look at the precipitous statistical dropoff for Brees in outdoor games vs. indoor games and then you see he is taking maximal advantage of dome ball.
He's not near Brady, Montana, or Unitas in non-perfect conditions.
Everyone says this is Brees fault, but I dont think it completely accurate.
The Saints defense falls apart out doors, and some offensive players do also.
Look at Colstons dropped passes outdoors,lol. Even in the SB. He has a hard time our doors.
But look at the SF and seattle games. Brees numbers should have won those games, even with 6 turnovers to SF.
Brees played outdoors most of his career when he was breaking records in college, and high school.
Most Valuable Offensive Player in 1996 and led the Westlake High School football team to 16-0 record and state championship.
As a high school football player, Brees completed 314 of 490 passes (64.1 percent) for 5,461 yards with 50 touchdowns including, in his senior season, 211 of 333 passes (63.4 percent) for 3,528 yards with 31 touchdowns.[11] Westlake went 28-0-1 when Brees started for two seasons and beat Abilene Cooper High School 55-15 in the 1996 title game
Purdue University - He left Purdue with Big Ten Conference records in passing yards (11,792), touchdown passes (90), total offensive yards (12,693), completions (1,026), and attempts (1,678). He led the Boilermakers to the 2001 Rose Bowl, Purdue's first appearance there since 1967, where Purdue lost by ten points to the Washington Huskies. Brees was a finalist for the Davey O'Brien Award as the nation's best quarterback in 1999. He won the Maxwell Award as the nation's outstanding player of 2000 and won the NCAA's Today's Top VIII Award as a member of the Class of 2001. Brees was also fourth in Heisman Trophy voting in 1999 and third in 2000. Brees also tied an NCAA record with the longest pass ever (99 yards), to receiver Vinny Sutherland against Northwestern on September 25, 1999
Chargers - where he started 15 games and led the team to a 12-4 regular season record. The Chargers won the AFC West and Brees was selected to the 2004 NFL Pro Bowl. He was named 2004 NFL Comeback Player of the Year.
Brees continued his productive play in 2005, as he posted a career high in passing yards with 3,576. Brees also posted an 89.2 rating, 10th best in the NFL.
These are all outdoor games. I mean look how he tied TB in competitions in the SB vs the colts. Thats outdoors.
I really dont think Brees has a problem with outdoors. I do believe our team does,lol. Our defense always falls apart.
Wether Brees has a problem with high wind or weather is a different story. He might. Ive seen him throw some crazy sailing balls in both those kinds of situations, but hes only played in a dome sense 2006.
