When thinking about the Saints’ offense, it’s natural to tab Drew Brees as the straw that stirs the drink. Brees is a deadly accurate thrower with outstanding arm strength, anticipation and touch. He hits his open receivers with aplomb, and is patient enough to take the check-down when defenders fly out of their zones to stop the deep ball. Brees has connected on 68 percent of his passes for 3,855 yards with 28 touchdowns. Although he inexplicably leads the league with 18 interceptions, his 93.6 passer rating ranks ninth in the league.

In taking a closer look at Brees’ high interception totals, it is apparent that the loss of key personnel led to some of his questionable decisions. He has forced the ball into tight windows in an attempt to produce big plays, but the risky throws repeatedly landed in the hands of swarming defenders. Part of Brees’ problems can be attributed to feeling the need to take on a bigger burden with several of his pivotal playmakers on the sideline. However, the return of Pierre Thomas and Jeremy Shockey should alleviate that pressure.
