re: I never want to hear Brees and 'elite' mentioned in the same sentence again

The reason Rodgers doesn't throw picks is because he'd rather take a sack than try to force a pass while getting pressured/hit. Brees does everything he can to avoid the sack and in the process forces a lot of passes. Sometimes it works out sometimes it doesn't. That's just who he is.

Now if you give Brees more time in the pocket then he doesn't try to force as many of those passes which ultimately results in less INT's. It's simple really.

Manning, Brady, and Luck all throw a lot of picks when they get pressured just like Drew. They're all still elite QB's.

Rodgers is the anomaly here. That's what makes him so good.

Your numbers just proved rodgers is sacked more than brees yet his int numbers aren't even close to brees. But keep arguing with yourself buddy. Hell here read this out loud and if you still think differently you win.

If you want to prove some kind of point, you may want to start by not comparing him to the best QB to ever play the game.
