I live in San Diego and hear nothing but knocks on Brees in the 4th Quarter. His rating drops significantly. This could have to do with conservative Marty Ball, or maybe Brees just can't get it done under pressure. Local fans like him but don't seem to upset that he might leave. On the local news he is very confident...almost too ****y but that's what you want. Marino never threw a bad pass, the receiver ran the wrong route :)
 
i think he will do better in out offensive system. we can drive it in the 4th

I have heard this too on the radio yesterday. I think it's a combination of sitting on big leads, going conservative, and other teams like us bringing the turned up Defense, and playing smash mouth ball. I think Drew will do better here for one he knows Houck, and Lemon, secondly Nick will keep opposing Defenses playing us honest in the 4th quarter, and not pinning there ears back going after him. Plus hopefully we have Ricky and Ronnie, which is better to have two great backs rather then just one in LT.:wink:

The prevent defense has never prevented anything.Its like a free pass for other teams to catch up.

Saban believes that its a 4 quarter game.He would not allow Brees to go ultra conservative.

AJ Feeley was a quarterback that would go belly up in the 4th quarter.
 
Can someone post Drew's 4th quater numbers in comparison to the 1st 3 quaters? Then we can see how big of a difference there is.

You know what? I believe Rick Speilman said one of the reasons he acquired A.J. Feeley over the other candidates was because Feeley's fourth quarter rating was the highest of the other guys. So I'd take that stat with a package of salt.

While you're at it, look up Brees' numbers on 3rd down. Over the past two years, it's been one of the best in the league.

Marty Schottenheimer has always had a knack for playing games not to lose instead to win, hence that style and his awful coaching record in big games.
 
QB ratings in 2004, brees' best season:

1st quarter: 97.6
2nd quarter: 112.4
3rd quarter: 100.2
4th quarter: 109

in 2005:

1st: 106.3
2nd: 98.5
3rd: 83.1
4th: 60.1

the good news is that he has a 118.1 rating in overtime :lol:

his QB rating in 2005 on third downs was 96.9, higher than his 1st, 2nd and 4th. in 2004 it was 102.9, lower than his 1st and 4th, but still very high.

Couldnt agree more!! Nick's style is not that of a Sam Wyche or Norv Turner..on offense we WILL continue to attack, and on defense do the same!!

:sidelol: ..this just reminded me..remember the Wanny era?? If we had a lead early in the 3rd quarter, the moron would start trying to run the closk out already!!:shakeno: ..boy I will NEVER miss that guy!

Feeley had the worst 4th quarter statistics of all of the NFL QBs in the 2004 season.I am afraid I cant prove it anymore because my source of statistics have cleared that data out.

Once again Speilman made a poor assesment.
