ET80 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 It's a tough crowd today if we're saying Drew Brees is overrated/not a top 10 QB. He checks pretty much every single box to get into the "All Time" conversations: - Has all of the needed stats. (Over everyone, literally). - Several years of league leading production. - Won a SB. - Is the "Icon" of his franchise (when you think of the Saints historically, what other player comes to mind? Archie Manning, perhaps?) - Turned his franchise around (Does anyone here remember the "Aints" days when fans would wear paper bags over their heads? That's a thing, but not since Drew's been there). Under no circumstances should anyone argue otherwise. Drew might not be too 3-5 all time, but he's certainly top 10. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much the minute Rivers joined the Chargers, Brees turned into a great QB. So great the Chargers franchise tagged him while Rivers collected dust on the bench for two seasons. Horrible take right here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People expect QBs to literally be perfect or else they're trash. Some of you guys are forgetting that Joe Montana had three straight one and done playoff games at one point. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrible take right here. He’s also forgetting that Brees had just suffered a shoulder injury that most teams considered career ending But hey, he saw in Wikipedia that the chargers moved on from Brees, so who needs context?

Heinz D. Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 10 minutes ago, TheGame316 said: So much ability the Chargers moved on from him and drafted Rivers? Because any move that Chargers regime made was automatically the right move to make? Thanks for reminding us that was indisputably the greatest front office of all time. A lot of us forget that undeniable fact. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the question is how much of that had to do with Payton? Brees had 3 mediocre years in San Diego, Then the Chargers drafted Rivers, then he had 1 GREAT year, then another nothing special year then he got hurt 5 years without Payton, 4 of them so/so then he had a major injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDsportsfan Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 43 minutes ago, ThatJaxxenGuy said: Sean Payton elevates Drew Brees while Rodgers elevated Mccarthey led teams and offenses. The dynamic is much different. I understand what you're trying to say.....but Sean Peyton doesn't play on the field. Brees still has to make the plays and more times than not, does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
