NFL 2015 Season Discussion Thread

I just want to add that the st Louis rams super bowl year (greatest show on turf) with Kurt Warner running the show might be the best I have seen a qb look over a stretch of games.
Dude was in the zone. Not sure I have ever seen a more accurate qb than Warner that year

Warner was lethal at the 20-yard pass, or thereabouts. He was ridiculous from 2000 - 2002.

That said, in terms of accuracy, Brady's 2007 season tops Warner's best season. And that's when Brady was playing with deeper passes, too.

In 2001, Kurt Warner posted a 68.7 completion percentage. His average pass was 8.85 yards. He threw 36 touchdowns and 22 interceptions
In 2007, Tom Brady posted a 68.9 completion percentage. His average pass was 8.32 yards. He threw 50 touchdowns and only 8 interceptions.
 
Also Brady has 2:1 TD to INT ratio in the post-season (52 TD's, 26 INT's)

Brees has 4:1 TD to INT ration in the post-season (24 TD's, 6 INT's)

Manning has a worse than 2:1 ratio (38:24)
 
Drew Bree's TD to INT ratio in the playoffs is pretty insane when you look at other top QB's of the recent eras.
 
... And then there's that most important post season stat.

Tom Brady has a better regular season win-percentage than Manning. And, he has a better touchdown-to-interception ratio. Manning has some better stats, but he also led offenses that were more pass-heavy than most of Brady's offenses, which always cultivated a bit more balance. As of now, Manning has about 2000 more career passing attempts than Brady... a fact that should be acknowledged when you look at the disparity of total yards and touchdowns. If Brady keeps going like this, then he'll get 2000 more high-quality attempts.

Everything should be looked at. But Brady gets credit for his teams and coaching. not complaining about that fact, he should.

I simply think that Manning is the best regular season QB ever. I also think that Father time caught him and he is clearly not even remotely the same QB. Broncos are currently winning in spite of Manning.

According to statistics Marino is 44th all time in completion percentage whereas Brees is No.1 fwiw

I think Brees had a better career peak than anyone in history. He really benefited from an extremely pass happy offense that was highly creative and had weapons, though no huge names prior to Saints (besides Reggie Bush), at every position.

Brees dumped a ton of passes off to his backs and tight ends......Marino threw mostly down field to wide receivers who had to get open despite the now illegal "handchecking" techniques! If Marino played today under those rules, he would have completed 80% of his passes!!!
 
Brees slang the ball. Jimmy Graham wasn't a check down safety net.

Besides knowing when to check down is a very important qb skill.

CJ discounting Brees is just the sad song of a Championshipless dirty bird

Steve Young, 1994. 70.3% at 8.6 per attempt. 35 td's, 10 picks. The Niners were in a scary zone that year and annihilated SD in the Super Bowl.

No way he throws for 80% but prolly would throw for 6000 yards a season
 
That Jimmy Graham trade may go down as one of the worst fits ever, on paper it was a good trade but it killed Seattels offensive line and they don't even know how to utilize Jimmy and on the other side it cost New Orleans their only real offensive threat

New Orleans is done. They really need to trade Payton for some draft picks (it's been rumored teams are interested) and they need to trade Brees for the biggest haul of picks they can get. Let Brees go to a team that needs him. They will never do it though since Brees is basically Jesus Christ in New Orleans. Tank the season for Goff and be in line to suck another year for Fournette.

Use the picks acquired in trade to shore up the offensive line and the defense with some young talent.
