The Green Bay Packers have placed receiver and return man Trevor Davis on injured reserve Atlanta Falcons Womens Hoodie , and claimed cornerback Deante Burton off waivers from the Atlanta Falcons.Davis missed the season opener against Chicago after adding him to the injury report just a couple of hours before the game on Sunday. The third-year player and primary returner also missed much of training camp with a sore hamstring."When Trevor showed up at the stadium, his hamstring was really bothering him — more than I think even he expected," coach Mike McCarthy said Monday. "So we took him out on Lambeau (Field) and we had a pregame workout and he wasn't ready to go."Davis' absence also means more potential opportunities on offense for Green Bay's three drafted rookie receivers behind the top trio of Davante Adams, Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison.Burton played on defense and special teams in the Falcons' season-opening loss to Philadelphia. He started the first week on the practice squad before being promoted to the active roster.Atlanta moved Burton from receiver to the secondary after signing him as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Kansas State in May 2017. He spent his entire rookie season on the practice squad.The Packers on Tuesday also released safety Marwin Evans from the practice squad, replacing him with cornerback Will Redmond. A third-year player, Redmond most recently was released by the Kansas City Chiefs before the start of the season. Let’s just get the stats out of the way to begin with, because Drew Brees is doing some ridiculous things and that’s why you’re here, right?Through nine games, Brees has completed 77.3 (!!!) percent of his passes for 2,601 yards with 21 touchdowns and one interception. He’s on pace to smash the record for completion percentage in a season of 72 percent, set by none else than Brees last season. Brees has a passer rating of 123.8, currently ahead of Aaron Rodgers’ record 122.5 rating in 2011 that earned him NFL MVP honors. He also has a rating of 88.1 on ESPN’s Total QBR — just a hair behind Tom Brady’s record of 88.5 from his MVP season in 2007. It’s been seven years and I’m pretty sure still nobody knows what QBR is Womens Customized Atlanta Falcons Jerseys , but the point is Brees is crushing it.A week ago, in the biggest game of the year for the Saints, he threw for 346 yards and four touchdowns in a 45-35 win against the Los Angeles Rams. It was a huge day for running back Alvin Kamara too — he had 116 total yards and three touchdowns — but with the Rams rallying and the game on the line, it was Brees who saved the day with a game-clinching, 72-yard touchdown to Michael Thomas.In a year when passing numbers are through the roof, Brees’ absurd season is flying under the radar, even after he broke Peyton Manning’s passing record in Week 5. He’s twice been the AP Offensive Player of the Year, but never MVP. With his 40th birthday coming in January, Brees is making a strong case for his first time winning the award for the first time.Efficiency: 9.9This is a buzzword for quarterbacks that’s received a lot more positively than “game manager,” but it really all boils down to the same thing: An efficient quarterback throws touchdowns and completions, and doesn’t throw many interceptions and incompletions.So by that measure, Brees is the definition of efficiency.He’s completing passes at a record-breaking percentage and he’s thrown just one interception all season. Take away drops www.falconscheapshops.com , throwaways, and times he was hit as he was throwing, and the numbers would be even more outrageous:When Brees completed 22 of 25 passes for 265 yards and three touchdowns against the Bengals in Week 10, he added another checkmark to his long list of NFL records:Thomas has emerged as a legitimate No. 1 receiver for the Saints, but Brees is excelling with a receiving corps that is uninspiring, otherwise.What has helped tremendously has been the emergence of Kamara as one of the NFL’s most special running backs. With the Saints able to lean on the combination of Kamara and Mark Ingram, Brees averaged 33.5 attempts per game in 2017 — his lowest average since joining the Saints in 2006. The pace is similar in 2018 at 33.8 passes per game for Brees, much lower than the 42-attempt average he had in 2016.A more balanced offensive attack — not to mention the receiving skills of Kamara — has taken Brees’ completion numbers to new heights and likely extended his career.MVP-ness: 7.8Not a word, I know. But you know what I mean. This may be Brees’ best shot at winning MVP, but it’ll still be an uphill climb.If there’s a reason Brees doesn’t win the award this year, it’ll be because other quarterbacks are throwing more passes and connecting on bigger plays. The 72-yard touchdown to Thomas was Brees’ fourth completion of 40 yards or more, and he got to five with a 42-yard pass to Keith Kirkwood a week later. Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers are each at 11. Hell Atlanta Falcons T-Shirt , Case Keenum has 10.While Brees is doing a remarkable job avoiding mistakes, the Saints offense doesn’t ask him to uncork many deep balls, and his final stats probably won’t match up with the gaudy numbers of Mahomes or Jared Goff.Brees is pacing to finish with 4,624 yards and 37 touchdowns. Those would be his eighth-best and fourth-best totals in a season, respectively.Meanwhile, there are five quarterbacks (Matt Ryan, Mahomes, Ben Roethlisberger, Rodgers, Goff) on pace for more than 5,000 yards. Mahomes is on track to be the third quarterback ever to top 50 touchdowns.The Saints’ recent signing of Dez Bryant looked like it could be a boon to Brees’ passing stats, but that hope quickly disappeared when the receiver tore his Achilles in his second practice. If Brees posts the same exact numbers in the last seven games of the year Atlanta Falcons Hats , he’ll be in MVP contention. But unless some other quarterbacks slow down, there’s a good chance he comes up short again.Legacy: 9.6Let’s throw in one more overused buzzword for good measure. Because with the careers of a generation of quarterbacks winding down, it feels like Brees if finally starting to get his due.When Brees claimed the record for career passing yardage earlier this season — a number he’s now added nearly 1,000 more yards to — Tony Gonzalez argued that he’s not just an all-time great, he’s the all-time greatest:With Brees continuing to push passing numbers into a different stratosphere, that’s becoming a more accepted take.He can’t match Tom Brady in Super Bowl rings, or Peyton Manning in MVP awards. But at a time when he should be hitting the twilight of his time in the NFL, Brees is putting up career-best stats and has the Saints very much in the Super Bowl hunt. Whatever due he hasn’t been given already, it’s time you give it now.
