Xmad Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 He's borderline top 5 all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler735 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 No brainer. I can't think of a legitimate argument to prove otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john305 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Would have been better to ask if he's top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Probably. Hard to cross reference players of different eras. I think of him as the Fouts or Marino of today, except with a championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedTheClock Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 He's not even a top 10 Saints QB. Dude is terrible. The only reason he's had any success is because he's throwing to Willie Snead and Josh Hill. I could throw for 4,000 with those two on the roster. Plus he might get injured.

Danger Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 1. Tom Brady 2. Peyton Manning 3. Joe Montana After that you have a variety of names in the mix. Marino, Otto Graham, Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Steve Young, Ben Roethlisberger (yes), Kurt Warner, and Brett Favre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkronsWitness Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 The only QBs you can definitvely say are better than Brees IMO are 1) Brady 2) Graham 3) Montana 4) Manning and outside of those you could really make an argument for anybody else. If somebody put him at #5 behind those guys I wouldnt say they were wrong but it is extremely hard to separate Elway/Brees/Favre/Rodgers/Young/Unitis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crickett Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I'd put him behind Johnny Unitas and possibly Fran Tarkenton. But most certainly yes, top ten all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDez Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Easily top-10. It's hard to rank 4-8 they're too jumbled together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mission27 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Personally I wouldn't put him over Brady, Manning, Montana, Marino, Unitas, or Graham. You can't argue with where he will finish his career statistically but I don't think he was ever the best in the game either. He didn't win like Brady or Montana. And if you look at what Manning, Marino, Unitas, and Graham did relative to the eras they played in I just think its more impressive. After that, yeah, probably in the 7-10 range. Close between him, Young, and Favre. Aaron Rodgers would probably overtake him and maybe move into the top-5 if he won another SB and kept putting up these numbers for five more years.

Pugger Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Is Brees better than Favre, Elway, Marino, Baugh, Staubach, Starr, Young or Kelly? I am a big Brees fan but I don't know if he's top 10 in league history. I'd put him in 11-15 for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LieutenantGains Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Staubach is top 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malik Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Yes. For the simple fact that a lot of the lower end of the guys you could put in the top 10 are underachievers which is something you could never really argue about Drew Brees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
