So i’m Watching this game and for the 2nd time watching these guys play, i’m Seeing Brees make Matt Ryan look like a rank amateur, a chicken-shit bitch and a total dumbass.
And i’m Looking at Brees and understanding completely what it takes to be a great QB in this league.
The one thing that guy has more than any QB i’ve ever seen, and that’s no exaggeration - in my life - more then Montana, more than Gannon, more than Marino, Brady, I don’t give a shit. Brees has the most fucking amazing, inhuman accuracy i’ve seen. Gannon was seriously accurate short and short intermediate. Montana was similar. Rodgers is pinpoint accurate but not consistently. Fucking Brees... I mean it’s like 95% of his throws are there. At all levels, all the time. And the vast majority of them are in the perfect spot.
Brees puts it in the perfect spot even when he doesn’t have to. He had a wide open TE, nobody in the same part of the field, floated it right over his shoulder and landed it in his chest, easiest catch that fucker ever made. And Brees was rolling out at the time. Like I said, inhuman.
And i’m Watching Matt Ryan and in comparison this guy is spraying them. And he’s stupid. It’s just a REALLY bad look for Ryan when he plays against Brees. I love it, I hate thta fucking overpaid choke artist. Ryan is ruining Julio’s career.
Anyway, this is why a i’m So high on Herbert. I’ve watched the kid put balls into what I thought were impossibly tight windows, watched him throw high seam passes over trailing defenders that only his guys can get - and that’s a fucking tough throw because it has to be the perfect height and perfect placement.
AND i’ve Watched him do what JaMarcus Russel could never do - timing, cut the pass loose before the receiver is into his break, and throwing his guy open when the route isn’t working for him.
We fucking need a guy like that. Carr doesn’t have that.
Oh, and Matt Ryan isn’t any better than Joe Flacco. He just has better weapons. Brees would fucking own this league with those weapons.
