Oh he is. But no amount of mental gymnastics is going to stop this kid from being a bust. Thats just the harsh reality of this world, you're either a winner or loser, cool or uncool, there's really nothing you can do to change it. You can change your hair, change your clothes, your posture, those men in that lockeroom ain't gonna follow you if you're not a born leader.

Those things can be right and I can also be right. 

No - in fact, there's a saying you might not know that explains why you're not right: Correlation doesn't equal Causation.

Much easier than typing.

Yeah so this is showing he threw 3 a game in 2019 and down to 1.3 per game in 2020. Could be Thomas missing

His air yards per completion past the line of scrimmage from 2018-2020 has been between 5.0-5.9. I don't think there is really much of a discernible difference this year with Brees from recent years given all the circumstances with his WR's this year. I'd be surprised if it wasn't the lowest among starting QB's, but Brees has shown this style of play can also be effective during that span.

I'm waiting for defenses to start pressing a little harder against the LOS. Serious question, I haven't looked it up. How many throws of 15+ yards has Brees thrown? 25+?

I know Kamara is on a record catch pace for a RB.

Bucs defense should be able to give this team plenty of trouble this week. Could be the case study that other teams look at to slow this offense down. I have to give Payton some credit for working with what he's got and, if they put up a few duds in a row and defenses get more aggressive, how he responds/adapts/adjusts.

Okay. Keep that in mind next time you complain about literally any facet of this sport. 

I will. As well as all the other failed and terrible alternatives. And then I will sit back and realize this is as good as it gets.

It taught me that communism leads to world wide pandemics and socialist countries are having to completely shut down.. 😁

I don't want to flood the halfway mark thread with debate.

But for the love of God someone make an argument for how some of you are even considering Burrow over Herbert as ROY. It's not even really that close unless ya look at w/l record with Burrow having played 2 more games with having 1 more win.
