Brees is having arguably the most efficient season in NFL history; he's completing an absurd 77 percent of his passes on a league leading 10.2 AY/A, which is just an insane combination. 25 TDs and only one pick. He plays in a dome and rules favor the passing game, but we are witnessing a masterpiece.
I came here to post something similar. His numbers this year are just jaw-dropping.
257-334 (76.9%), 2,964 yds, 25 td, 1 int, 126.9 rating, 8.9 y/a, 10.2 ay/a
Last three games: 69-91 (75.8%), 974 yds, 11 td, 0 int, 149.5 rating, 10.7 y/a, 13.1 ay/a
Meanwhile his team has put up 45, 51, and 48 points in those three games.
These are truly video game numbers he's putting up. And yeah he throws a lot of short passes. But here are his numbers on passes 11-40 yards downfield.
51-74 (68.9%), 1,194 yds, 16.1 y/a, 7 td, 1 int, 137.5 rating
Compare those numbers to Brady's and Rodgers':
Brees: 51-74 (68.9%), 1,194 yds, 16.1 y/a, 7 td, 1 int, 137.5 rating
Brady: 57-110 (51.8%), 1,238 yds, 11.3 y/a, 10 td, 4 int, 107.3 rating
Rodgers: 50-112 (44.6%), 1,357 yds, 12.1 y/a, 8 td, 1 int, 109.9 rating
Brees is CRUSHING these two on downfield throws in terms of efficiency. The man is unbelievable and no, it doesn't look like he's slowing down at all.
