re: Brees, Carson, or Dalton

But he won a Super Bowl 6 years ago so it's him. Just like it'd be flacco if he was in this hypothetical, right?

I think it's pretty much a tossup. The two are close in age. Clearly the narrative about Brees being washed up was debunked since he's Top 3 in most categories (along with Palmer) in spite of his injury, his OL being garbage, and his WRs outside of Cooks being trash. Just like the current flavor of the week narrative about Luck, most people have dumb opinions about NFL QBs.

But stats don't tell the whole story. If I'm trying to be objective, I'm taking Rodgers over both, and he's having a "worse" year than either of them. But what Brees is doing this year is pretty damn remarkable. He's made Ben Watson look like a Pro Bowler at times, and he has less help than Palmer does on offense right now.
