With all this Peyton Manning talk why is Drew Brees left out of the all time great QB talks? He also is always dropped down on the current list even though he has been probably the most dominant QB in the league for a while now. His regular season and post season numbers speak for themselves.

Brees is the guy with all the single season stats. Brees is second on the active passer's list with the records within sight.

Because he throws a lot of picks, has only been to one SB and hasn't been dominating quite as long as Peyton or Brady. He was good pre-NO but not dominant like he is now. Brady and Peyton have been dominating since the early 2000s.

Peyton Manning is being talked about as one of the greatest of all time because he's...what...38 years old? And Drew Brees is 33 or 34? There's still time left for Drew Brees when Peyton retires.

For how awesome Drew Brees is and has been, I think he means more to the Saints and us as fans than how he ranks among NFL greats. I think he's an NFL great for sure, probably HOF numbers, but he's not the GOAT. That's nothing to be ashamed of.

As sad as it may seem, Drew needs another SB win to be in the conversation with Brady and Manning.

Out of the "big 4" current QB's Drew easily gets the least amount of media love.

Peyton is probably deserving of it, but there is no way you can say for sure that Brady and Rodgers are better than Brees.

If Drew was playing in New England and had 4 rings then he would be right in the mix.
Brady has PLAYOFF braging rights and Manning is the greatest REGULAR SEASON QB in history. Ans as great as Rodgers is I do think he gets over hyped a bit.
Drew's legacy will be fine. Let the talking heads define what they think now of his career because Drew is still writing what they will say later!
