re: Brees 500 touchdowns !!

Although it's highly unlikely that Brees will break the record in the final four games of this season, he's breathing down Favre's neck.

174/4 = 43.5 completions per game.

That would be insane. The NFL record for completions in a game is 45. Drew has only thrown 40 in a game once (in the playoff loss to the 49ers).

I think it is more likely Drew breaks the mark around week 4 next year averaging 22-24 completions per game.

Drew is also 2,429 yards from passing Favre for second and 2,531 behind Manning for first. He should hit that around week 5 or 6 next year passing for 220-250 yards per game.

Brees is tied with Brady for 3rd all-time in TDs. He is 26 behind Favre and 57 behind Manning so he is probably 2 years from this record.
