matt ryan has his team really poised for his 100 million contract

joe flacco doing all sorts of work for his 100 million contract

aaron rodgers all sorts of tored up shoulder missing games for his 100 million contract

tom brady's team sitting at the exact same 10-4 first place record for his 100 million contract

tony romo is another 100 million dollar qb.. and nothing more needs to be said here.

brees was severely underpaid his entire time in new orleans since 2006, and never once complained.. so the contract more than makes up for that.. especially considering since brees joined the saints in 06 no other qb had more wins than him up until the crap of last season.. now he has his team in 1st place in the south with a chance to clinch the division and the #2 seed.

right now he is

1st in the nfc in passing yards, and 2nd in the NFL to peyton manning. speaking of which peyton manning and his world beating broncos are 11-3 (one more win)

1st in the nfc in passing TDs, and 2nd in the NFL to peyton manning.

1st in the nfc in completion %, and 2nd in the NFL to phillip rivers.

among currently active starting QB's he is 3rd in the NFC in QBR

Pretty much all of this. The fact that the OP can make this thread tells me that he either hasn't seen much Saints football before 2006 or just chooses to ignore it.

Considering that the 2nd best qb we have ever had is Arron Brooks you might just want to take a step back and appreciate what we've got. You're right. He's not the best to ever throw a football. He's just ONE of the best.

Look at that list of QBs making 100 mil and tell me that the production we get out of Brees isn't either better or at least comparable. So according to the market we are absolutely getting our money's worth.

I only hope that we are fortunate enough to have a true successor to Brees on the roster and ready to go by the time he hangs it up.
