What does this have to do with anything? If anything it shows that athletic ability means nothing at the position.

Nice rebuttal. You ignored practically everything I said in my comment. You have your mind made up already so it doesn't matter. It's obvious you can't look at facts. Bill doesn't throw the ball for Brady. Defense doesn't make a QB clutch. Brees plays on shitty teams oh well. It takes good players around you to make great teams imagine that. Like I said, you can't go on should've could've would've you go based on results in what you see and there is absolutely no debate who GOAT is in the NFL. You can't take a scenario where Brees is thrown in Brady's place and say he'd be GOAT just like you can't do it with Montana saying he'd put up better numbers in his prime in an easier league. Nobody knows that for sure.

Now, you can make an argument Brees is on the level of someone like Peyton Manning despite having 1 less SB. Manning could be argued as a very overrated QB in the playoffs. I don't remember the specific numbers but I do know that I saw him shite the bed in MANY playoff games. His first SB win his defense bailed him out in the championship game and then played a vastly inferior opponent in a weak NFC that year for the SB. Again, his second SB win he was mediocre all through the playoffs with an amazing defense. Peyton was an absolutely fantastic regular season QB but come playoff time he had some insanely high TD/INT ratio numbers especially when playing against defenses with a pulse. Peyton seemed to look great in the playoffs when no pressure was put on him and when he was playing some really sad defenses. He otherwise folded come clutch time. Always was funny to see Eli Manning the opposite. Mediocre regular season play and then all-pro come playoff time.

Brees actually has some really great playoff numbers to back his play up. The problem is they're very forgetful performances because they end up in loses so he never gets the opportunity to extend them. His San Francisco performance was quite amazing against a really good defense. I do remember him throwing an INT earlier in that game but second half he went ham on them and then our defense shite the bed and handed the win over to them. The Seattle game where Lynch killed us I think Brees threw for over 400 yards in that game and nobody remembers that. He shred that defense.

You edited your post after I said that. It literally said nothing. What have I made my mind up about? That Brees deserves to be mentioned with Manning, Rodgers, and Brady? Yes

Well actually this is America and I'm allowed to think whatever I please.

Wait so we just aren't allowed to compare nfl players in different scenarios bc deuce985 says so? But you have the final authority on who the best player to ever play the game is? That's a lot of responsibility for some swamprat like yourself. quote below

No offense man, but you sound extremely angry over someone bringing up a friendly discussion. Your posts also completely lack facts or statistics or any human logic at all. You actually sound a bit stupid, tbh

I didn't say it meant anything. But I guarantee you Brees/Rodgers are more capable of succeeding in New England's offense than Brady is capable of succeeding in GB's/NOs. It's painful to watch him move and any play extended over 2.5 seconds is doomed.

I know, right? Brees is as good as Brady, and it's a forgone conclusion that Brady is way beyond or something.

How can you even know this? It doesn't make any sense at all. Rodgers never played anywhere else. With Brees you have an example with San Diego. He didn't come close to putting up the numbers he's putting up here. So if you want to go by the logic that Bill is what makes Brady so great because apparently Bill is so god-like he can throw the ball for Brady too. Yeah, he puts his players in the best position to maximize their potential that's what makes him so great. Did it ever occur to you maybe they need each other just like maybe Brees needs Payton to be in the position he's in? Not like he was throwing 5k yards in San Diego.

Some players just fall into perfect situations for themselves. Brady and Brees definitely come to mind that doesn't make their achievements any less incredible. You'd be nitpicking every great QB in the history of the NFL. When it comes down to it yes, it's the SB argument because Brady has a ring for every finger. He also just so happened to back that last ring up with arguably the greatest SB performance ever. You're just looking for a way to give him as little credit as possible to fit your narrative despite the facts in front of you.

Brees didn't put up numbers in San Diego bc A) he was young B)he played in the most ground and pound, cookie-cutter, non-QB friendly offense you could play in. It's tough to hand it off 2 times and only throw on 3rd down.


The reason I say that is bc others have succeeded in New England's system. Look at Jimmy G, Matt Cassel, etc.....You can't just ignore what happened when Brady was out. Brees and Rodgers are next level in terms of physical talent compared to Brady. And NE's offense is designed around that. Lot's of short passes that you have to get out quickly. Any pressure on Brady and he looks like a monkey trying to hump a football. With his lack of athleticism he may struggle in GB or NO. It takes pretty much zero mobility to do what he does in NE. And don't give me the bs of Brady working a pocket, guy looks like a buffoon when he moves.

Rodgers can make any throw on the field. Brees is the most accurate and throws with more anticipation than anyone I've ever seen. Both are wizards in the pocket in their primes in terms of making guys miss, I cant say anything Brady does in those areas is exceptional.

I think it's funny that people bring up the SP system like it's comparable. "Drew I want you to go throw it 45 times today, 10 times 30 yards down the field to receivers who aren't open. Good luck."





Or the throw to Cooks in the Denver game...







Drew throws people open and plays with insane anticipation. You rarely see Brady making such throws into tight and double coverage like this (part of the reason he never throws picks)

Meanwhile, Brady could not physically do this (sadly, honestly)



or this

Meanwhile, Brady's typical TD pass looks like this












Doesn't make him less of a QB that he's not asked to make as risky or accurate throws, but Brees could literally throw a trashcan open. You don't see Brady doing that type of thing in NE. Rodgers is another guy that does it as well if not better than Brees.

I think it's safe to say Brady has surpassed Montana now.

Lmao at you dolts saying Brees is nowhere near Brady. I honestly don't think some of you realize just how fricking good Brees is. It is absolutely criminal how this front office wasted Drew's talent.

If Drew went to Denver a couple years ago instead of Manning, he'd have 2-3 rings with that defense.

I love Brady, he is the best in my opinion, but you're a moron if you don't think Drew is in his league. On top of that, Brady has benefited by playing in an absolutely pathetic AFC East with incompetent GMs and coaches, the NFC South is one of the most competitive divisions in all of the league.

I mean just look at Brady's deep ball's vs the Saints, in 2013 AND 2009. Dude cannot throw deep with anticipation or to someone that isn't significantly open or randy moss

The Patriots went 11-5 the season that Brady was out with an injury. People conveniently like to leave that fact out of the discussion with Brady.

Brees is just as good if not better than Brady. He just wasn't blessed with the GOAT coach, Hall of Fame teammates, and a year in and year out top 10 defense.

my man ZIGG


2008 with Matt Cassel 11-5

2009 with Tom Brady 10-6 (still had a randy moss to throw to and an even better defense than the year before, 5th in the league)


You really can't ignore this stuff. Guy has 11 top 10 defenses, is placed in a perfect offense for his skill set, and gets to play the jets, the bills, and the dolphins twice a year. The AFC is also just a weaker conference.

No. If he played for NY, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, or SF he would already be.

Four 7-9 seasons out of the last five tarnishes Brees' legacy. No one GAF about 5k yards and 35 TDs when you're losing. He's fallen out of the national spotlight

If we are a consistent playoff team, we would be playing more in prime time and Brees would be featured

You can't build up a QB on team accomplishments and not be prepared to have him carry the burden when they are losing, too

Lmao, yes. It's Brees fault we're losing games, no not a historically bad defense on a yearly basis, no no, it's our HoF QB. Do us a favor and stop discussing football, just yell who dat like the rest of the casual fans.

You said you can't put team accomplishments on Drew. You also can't put a pathetic and god awful defense not being able to stop a nose bleed on him either. Go back and listen to anyone talk about the Saints and they'll same thing, w/o Drew we don't win 7 games.
