re: Terry Bradshaw is a douchebag, rips Brees, he jelly

Drew Brees is a tough mofo.

He played through almost an entire season with major knee damage. Recovered in no time from a pretty bad looking elbow injury in the Pro Bowl. Seems to take a ton of vicious hits but bounces back up. I think he would have done fine in the old NFL.

Like Drew Brees wouldn't be able to hang in an NFL game circa 1975.

He def. could play then, see Tarkenton, but breaking that record would probably not be possible. Unitas was a big SOB, I don't know how many hits Brees could take from Deacon/Butkus/Tatum/Nobis/Huff/Nitschke et al... I realize they all didn't play at the same time but Unitas and Bradshaw (who had no shot at the record) played in an era of some tough SOBs with different rules. Brees would be lucky to make 2 full seasons w/o being injured.
