lets agree to chalk it up to that its all we have to go on this season and revisit around week 10.shel311 wrote:Obviously.texasfan4444 wrote:shel311 wrote:It's almost like he didn't throw for 5200 yards and a QB rating over 100 last season.

Can we chalk up Brady as "washed" too? he was even worse than Brees in week 1.
I thought so too, then I looked and saw he had 423 yards passing and 4 TDs in week 1 last season.DRiccio21 wrote:we had the Brees is washed up conversation after week 1 last year, i'm fairly certain

Brees's career QB rating on the road is 91. For reference, if you compare it to the all time QB rating leaderboard, that would be good for 13th.
I mean, being 10th best qb on the road in the current NFL puts him on the same level as who? Rivers?shel311 wrote:Sure, but my point stills stands, he's not bad on the road.
