So are you saying Brees is throwing passes blind? Brees stands tall in the pocket, he also has an over the top delivery which helps him a lot. I don't know what the number of batted balls are for Brees but I do know guys like Kyle Orton (6'4") and Rex Grossman (6'1") have a high number of batted balls because they don't have quick releases and they don't have a high release point.
no, i'm not saying he's throwing passes blind. he sees where defenders are as well. but he knows where his guys are and trusts them
