Explain


He's a notch below Brady, Rodgers and Brees. That's just a fact.

Yep.

He hasn't had 2 seasons in a row of > 95 Passer Rating since 2009-2010. I love watching him play, and he's right up there, but def a step behind.

I thought the lsat paragraph was enlightening...

Brees has missed just one start due to injury in the last decade, and considering how few hits he takes not only because of his solid offensive line, but also his own lack of self-inflicted pressure (we’ve charged 14 sacks to him over the last nine seasons, compared to 14 each of the past two seasons to Wilson), it’s reasonable to think he can continue to play at a very high level.

So each year one or maybe two sacks a season are Brees fault. His pocket presence and mobility inside the pocket are certainly among his greatest gifts.

I this tiered system you've got here. Let me try:

Elite tier:
Brady
Rodgers
Newton

Fringe Elite:
Big Ben
Brees
Eli

2nd tier:
Rivers
Palmer

Could Rise Quickly:
Luck
Carr

Serviceable/good:
Romo
Wilson


Based on championships, athleticism, winning franchise, leadership, value for contract

Leading the leauge in Passing yards while missing a game is a strong indicator. Also 7-9 with this Defense is pretty remarkable so yeah he definitely still elite.
