Bottom line, they simply need to take more shots down field. The timing is a result of repetition, I think.

Brees is great because he does what most QBs do some of the time all of the time. He consistently finds the single coverage and puts the ball where his WR is going to have the best chance of catching it. The Defender could be running a potato sack race with his Receiver and he's still going to throw it.

We all see other QBs throw into tight single coverage a few times a game, giving their Receivers a chance to make a play or draw a pass interference call. What we see a few times a game from most QBs, Brees seems to do with easy regularity.

Just once I'd like to see Campbell throw a ball downfield (doesn't have to be 50 yards either) to a receiver who is covered, and put it in a spot where his Receiver can at least make an attempt on the ball. Right now, he either doesn't make that pass or when he does, it's way friggin off.
