Xmad Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Brees mostly because his name is much more fun to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Went with Brett Favre on this 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Favre peaked a good deal higher and his teams were generally more competitive/relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Brees has passed for over 5,000 yards like 5 times, he has averaged over 36 touchdowns a season for the last 9 years. I don't think Favre could have kept up stats wise even if he did play in today's NFL. Brees is probably one of the most underrated players in NFL history and it is due to his horrible defense. The Saint's defense has been 20th or worse 6 of the last 9 seasons and in the top 10 only 2 times in the last 9 seasons. When he does have a good defense they're in the playoffs. Even when his defense ranked 20th they went 13-3 (2009, won the SB). The Saint's just need to focus on defense in the draft and FA. I don't even know why they draft offense, D. Brees takes 7th round picks to the pro bowl (M. Colston). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crickett Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I voted Brees, but I think both are top ten all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddyboy Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Of the top 100 NFL QBs, Favre might be top ten. Not Brees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddyboy Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 According to John Maxymuks 2009 Quarterback Abstract, by computerizing the data for hundreds of league QBs and normalizing the stats: 1 Otto Graham 2 Staubach 3 Montana 4 Luckman 5 Steve Young 6 T Brady 7 B Starr 8 Bradshaw 9 Unitas 10 Dawson 11 Elway 12 P Manning 13 B Griese 14 Van Brocklin 15 Waterfield 16 B Favre 17 Tarkenton 18 Layne 19 Stabler 20 J Kelly 21 Baugh 22 K Anderson 23 Aikman 24 Marino 25 Namath 26 Tittle 27 Fouts 28 Jurgensen 29 Conerly 30 Moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're posting it to show that Favre is on it, but Brees isn't than that would be incredibly flawed as you even state it was posted in 2009. Brees has had several elite 5,000+ yards seasons with ridiculous completions percentages since 2009. Regardless to answer the question as to who I think is better. I'll take Brees every time on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Always tough to compare a guy who's career is over against a guy who is still playing, but I am going to go with Drew Brees. Unfortunately for Brees he has been in the shadow of Peyton Manning and Tom Brady pretty much his entire career (also Aaron Rodgers), so he somewhat gets under-appreciated at times. Brees is insanely accurate with the football and has exceptionally high football IQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananabucket Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Favre is the legendary figure but Brees is just the better quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddyboy Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Good point. In that 2009 book, the author ranks QBs from 1-10. He had Favre at 10 and Brees at 9. DB move to the Saints made his career. Had BF spent 15 years with the Vikings or Jets, not sure where he would rank. 1 hour ago, tyler735 said: Not sure what the relevance is here, or what you're trying to prove by posting this article?
