If you are JUST going by STATS (which you probably are, as all Brees Pumpers do), then he is the best. No argument there.


Brees plays in a pass happy offense, his defense has sucked for years and the saints are constantly engaged in shootouts. It's the perfect storm for eye popping stats.

Brady and Rodgers are easily better.

Brady has had an impressive career; however, the Patriots have been a great team all around. Hell, they had a winning season with Matt Cassel, this year they were 3-1 without him. That diminishes his greatness some. But I will admit he is the only current player in Drew's league, and I can see arguments for him as the better player. But if you say he is far and away better you have lost your mind.

Rogers has had great seasons, but he has had a few mediocre ones as well. Last season and this one have not been anything special.

Championships are a team stat not a player stat. If you think it's a player (QB) stat Otto Graham is the greatest QB to ever live and will always be. To say Drew's stats are better because the Saints pass a lot, is like saying Jim Brown was great because he got a lot of attempts to run the ball. It just sounds stupid.

Did it ever occur to you the offense is 'pass happy' because it's designed around him and the fact that he's great?


FWIW I agree with you on Brady and Rodgers.

Rodgers is still elite, but going back to last season through the games this season Brees has outplayed him by a substantial margin

His stats get better when his defense plays better. His stats get better when we run the ball better.
