Raves Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Honestly, if we are talking about just his play as a QB, I'd put him a lot higher than some QBs that had more accolades/post-season success, but taking everything into account, I'd probably still put him in the top 5-8.

I know he had a lot of bad defenses, but that also helped with his stats. Great QB but imo a better version of Stafford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbertGOAT Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 I think there's arguments for Brees, taking era into account, anywhere from 5-15. He's about 7-10 for me. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwibrown Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Imo the 2nd tier of elite qbs. Brady, Montana, Graham, Mahomes, Manning A bunch of greats including Brees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the "stat padder" argument is a little overblown because even if he had bad defenses that caused him to throw more, that doesn't take away from him doing it efficiently while single handedly keeping the Saints from picking #1 overall due to how bad their defenses were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's about 7-10 for me. This is where I'm pretty much at. If I'm ranking qbs, I start thinking about him at the end of the top 10, and I don't think I'd pass 15 before I'd write him in. Putting him top 5 is really difficult. I've only been watching football since the mid 90's, and just from guys I've seen, I wouldn't say he's one of the 5 best. Then you start factoring in the Unitas, Graham and Montana's, and there is just no way he's in the top 5.

Yeh of course. But having a bad defense and being in shootouts will have you throwing more. Testament to how good Drew was. But he isn't top 5 in my opinion.

Soko Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 I think his absolute ceiling is 6, so I’d say 6-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a silly thing to try and argue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Reed Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 (edited) 12-15ish Id have Brady, Manning, Unitas, Montana, Young, Marino, Favre, Rodgers, Mahomes, Staubach as definitively better in my eyes. Brees is in the Elway/Jim Kelly/Aikman/Bradshaw tier for me. Edited September 18 by Ray Reed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
