I believe Brees is the best qb in the nfl against the blitz, and he's not exactly considered mobile.
He was also mid-tier on some stats as well.
QBR he was 12th.
Pass yards 12th
8th most interceptions in the league.
His TT (Time to throw) was bottom of the league this yr. most of his throws when having guys like Skule and Bunskill blocking were quick short passes for a reason. Person was awful this yr and Garland can't pass-protect.
You bring up QBR, I'll bring up QB rating which he was 8th overall.
Yeah I'd expect his yards to not be top end he was 20th in attempts. Bringing up total yards is a horrible take. Winston lead the league in that.
Yes INTs were an issue and I expect that to go down with better pass pro and you know actually play more football. First yr as a starter (coming off an ACL) learning the offense and understanding coverages. Only way that improves is with more snaps.
I agree im not a fan of using passing yards as a measurement of someone's ability to play quarterback, unless their attempts is like #5 and their yards 10th or lower etc..
I personally don't expect his ints to go down, but am hopeful. His first two years with us he was throwing almost just as many picks as tds, this year was the lowest it's been and was still very high for his attempts on the season. If he attempted more throws, ok, but he didn't, which is very scary when you think about it..
Example, he was #19 in pass attempts but throws the 8th most interceptions in the league?
Every game I see some crazy , weird decision making from jimmy g. Then other times your like oh phew jimmy is pretty good, then he does some crazy weird throws again so it's a constant back and forth, is he good or is he not? And I think that's where a lot of this debate about whether or not Kyle sees what everyone else is seeing when jimmy is throwing the ball. Most people I talk to in real life say they close their eyes when he drops back to pass and that's not an exaggeration lol
