I am trying to keep up with your rules here, but you are all over the place. Nevermind........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gannon12 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 The saints are on their way to the playoffs at this rate. I always root for other teams I like because my team blows, and the Saints and Browns are the ones for me. Hope Brees makes it all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also got 29 TDs to 9 picks in the playoffs with a 100+ rating. It does not mean you should pretend he is better than what he is. You are being dishonest if you don't acknowledge that the dome, Sean Payton, very good multi-purpose backs, and the same system for 13 years has not helped him greatly. He has also had a bunch of fast and talented WRs while in New Orleans. He was not a special QB in 5 years at San Diego (although you could see it in 2004) Seriously? Name the fast/talented WRs that Brees has had in his career in New Orleans. Dude has had less talented receiving talent than any of the top QBs in the NFL. Peyton Manning has consistently had numerous 1st round talent WRs, Tom Brady had higher rated players coming out as well as though that were given accolades than Saints WRs, same with Aaron Rodgers. the only 3 WRs that Drew Brees played with that had any significant buzz, that was actually backed up with stats, were Marques Colston (questionable as he was considered average by most and I dont' think ever made a Pro Bowl but coudl be wron, Michael Thomas, and Jimmy Graham (after most considered him a project after only 1 year of college FB, then dominated the NFL before disappearing in Seattle and Green Bay).

I think most will look at him in the same way as Dan Marino. Better playoff numbers and he has a ring, so I put him ahead of Marino. He cements top 5 with another Super Bowl ring. I don't really see much difference between him and Rodgers. Great stats, lots of winning seasons, and a SB MVP. Rodgers is the TD - INT specialist and Brees is the 5k a season guy. Its all impressive. The thing about Marino is that he really had 3 careers. Great Marino only last about 4 or 5 years. (1984 will always be amazing) He was just very good for most of the rest of his career. The other career is his disappointing playoffs. He was 1-4 in the playoffs against his own division Playing a very poor Super Bowl against Montana Losing to the Patriots just short of rematch after beating the '85 Bears on MNF Going out 62-7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dare people stop you by disagreeing with you on the internet... on your internet! You do know there is a Saints specific section around here somewhere, right? Hahahaha yes! This is fricken comedy gold. Keep up the good work! Maybe tell me more about Tom Brady though in this thread titled "Drew Brees- New All Time Passing Yardage Leader". Obviously this is the place to talk about Tom Brady not in a Patriots "specific section around here somewhere, right?" How dare people applaud Drew Brees for an incredible achievement..."On the internet... On your internet!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marino played in era where you had 5 division rivals and not only 4. So let's not ignore the huge difference this makes either. The Brees vs Rodgers comparison is little weird to me because, personally, I have never thought that Brees was better than Rodgers, IMO. Not to take anything away from Brees because Rodgers is obviously on of the best ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I've been on record saying this numerous times - Drew Brees is definitely a top five QB of all time. Great to see him break the record tonight in style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brees was actually bad/mediocre during the beginning of his stint with the Chargers - that's what caused the team to draft a QB that high. After they drafted Rivers, Brees started to become pretty good and the rest is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargers Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Happy to see Brees break the record. Just wish they didn't turn it into the full length drama at mid field that it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see him break the record tonight in style. On a serious note, is he though? Like I have a hard time putting him ahead of Brady, Montana, Manning, Marino, Unitas and I really think Rodgers passes him when all is said and done. Could easily see the argument for guys like Staubach as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
