Dumbass. Not even close to what I said. Your reading comprehension level is about as good as the Saint's defense.

Let me spell it out for you, since you're too slow to figure this out.

The majority of the NFL is built on the QB. It doesn't matter how good the QB is, they are going to throw the football, and more than they run. Cam Newton threw it 40+ times today. CODY FREAKIN KESSLER threw it 40+ times today.

Are they as GREAT as Brees? No.

But you dumbasses somehow think that because New Orleans slings it around more than anyone else, that means Brees is the Greatest.

Rodgers is still elite, but going back to last season through the games this season Brees has outplayed him by a substantial margin

Brees and Brady are the two best QBs in the game today. Both will be on the Mt. Rushmore of QBs when they hang it up.

Yeah, no where near Brees.

Except for that win-loss column...oh wait, that's Brees that hasn't been close. Sorry.
Yea it has nothing to do with the Saints routinely having some of the worst defenses in the history of the NFL.

Rodgers is a great QB, but he's playing pretty bad this year. Brees looks good. I wish the saints would run the ball a bit more. Brees took some big shots yesterday. Payton seems to be allergic to running the ball, like the anti-les miles

Brees: 66.7% completion, 347 YPG, 7.71 YPA, 2.8 TDPG, 0.8 IPG, 103.1 Rating

Ryan: 68.1% completion, 346 YPG, 9.88 YPA, 2.5 TDPG, 0.5 IPG, 117.9 Rating

Stafford: 68.9% completion, 275 YPG, 7.77 YPA, 2.3 TDPG, 0.67 IPG, 106.0 Rating

Rivers: 67.2% completion, 275 YPG, 8.19 YPA, 2.0 TDPG, 0.5 IPG, 105.9 Rating

Brady: 76.0% completion, 391 YPG, 10.43 YPA, 3.0 TDPG, 0.0 IPG, 135.5 Rating

If we're gonna say at least 5 games:
Ryan only

If we're saying doesn't matter:
Ryan and Brady

At this point, if it doesn't matter:
1. Brady
2. Ryan
3. Brees
4. Stafford
5. Rivers

Yep, Big Ben led his team to that first super bowl. Epic performance

Give him any of those defenses

Brees has been near perfect in the playoffs.


Drew has had 14 games where he's taken the lead in the 4th quarter, only to have the Saints D blow it. I want to say the next guy on the list is Dan Marino with 7.

Brees plays in a pass happy offense, his defense has sucked for years and the saints are constantly engaged in shootouts. It's the perfect storm for eye popping stats.



His stats get better when his defense plays better. His stats get better when we run the ball better.

The 3 combined have less losing seasons than Brees, and all 3 equal or surpass him in Super Bowl wins and playoff wins. Their statlines are also pretty good and I would suspect all of them are top 5 among active QBs.



Since 2006 (including this year for 11 years), the defenses has averaged these rankings:

New Oreans
21st in PPG (Top 10 2 times, 11-20 3 times, 21-32 6 times)
22nd in YPG (Top 10 2 times, 11-20 1 time, 21-32 8 times)

Pittsburgh:
8th in PPG (Top 10 5 times, 11-20 6 times, 21-32 0 times)
9th in YPG (Top 10 7 times, 11-20 2 times, 21-32 2 times)

New England:
7th in PPG (Top 10 10 times, 11-20 1 time, 21-32 0 times)
16th in YPG (Top 10 3 times, 11-20 4 times, 21-32 4 times)

Green Bay (since 2008 for 9 seasons):
14th in PPG (Top 10 2 times, 11-20 5 times, 21-32 2 times)
15th in YPG (Top 10 2 times, 11-20 5 times, 21-32 2 times)

Just to show you the difference, just looking at last year:
9th YPG: 339.4 YPG
15th YPG: 346.7 YPG
16th YPG: 347.6 YPG
22nd YPG: 363.6 YPG

7th PPG: 19.6 PPG
8th PPG: 19.6 PPG
14th PPG: 21.6 PPG
21st PPG: 24.9 PPG

It will be interesting to see what Payton is able to accomplish post-Brees. With Jimmy G's brief brilliance this year along with Cassell during the injury year, I heard quite a few national guys claiming recently that there might be something to the Patriots 'system' being part of the reason that Brady has been so good.

I also have a feeling that Payton will not be able to duplicate long term success again (whether with the Saints or elsewhere).

It should also be mentioned that many of the good stats years for the Saints were on playoff teams with average to slightly below average defenses. It's not like he's just now putting up huge stats on bad teams.

Over the last 16 games these are Rodgers numbers:
3667 yds
29 TDs
10 INTs
6.04 YPA
83.6 QBR

Rodgers is now tied for last in the NFL in adjusted completion percentage on deep balls, at 27.3 percent.

Brady, Brees, Big Ben, Ryan and a couple others are all better than him as of recently. And the thing is his OL and Lacy are playing well but he's not.

I like to think importance to their team.

Brady was out and the pats went 3-1

If Brees was out the saints would have no wins. Same could be said for Rodgers and maybe Big Ben.
