Middle of the road, which has been very frustrating. He's obviously going to be positioned to throw more picks than the average QB, but that's been amplified by his circumstances this year, no doubt. Doesn't excuse some of his shitty plays, but people need to put it all in perspective.


Manning, Rodgers and Brady all throw it just as often. They don't throw interceptions multiple seasons throughout their careers like Brees does.
He turns it over a lot, that's a fact.

I've said before, I'll say again. He's not a HOF QB. He used to hold exciting records, but the best QB from his generation beat those records.

Yes, but he usually has an opportunistic defense where he can force balls that usually lead to touchdowns. This year, we didn't have that. So his interception unlike years past, were taken advantage of.

Didn't you get the memo? Romo is an elite qb now. He all of a sudden figured it out. Nope, couldn't have been because he now has one of the best Oline's in the league.

And just like before, and any other time in the future you repeat it, you'll still be a moron.

I will bet you literally anything on the planet that Brees will be in the HOF. Name literally anything.

Dumbass.

Top 5 QBs this season:

Rodgers
Manning
Romo
Brady
Roethisberger

Romo has been the best of them all over the last three weeks. His QB rating since Thansgiving is over 140.

He's above average, and really good. He isn't all time great.

He'll only be Top 5 all-time in most major statistical categories.

He's a top-10 QB all-time, but he hasnt been one of the best this year. Something like half his yards have come with his team down by 14+ points, and his first half QB rating is in the 80s.

He is racking up tons of stats in the second half of games when teams are playing soft zones with multiple score leads.

Which is a product of the offensive system, like you have said before.

also you forgot
Wins: 6 (20th)
Carson Palmer/Drew Stanton/Ryan Lindley also have as many wins as Aaron Rodgers, so that really matters when evaluating a QB.

Brady gets injured ant the Pats win 11 games. Rodgers gets injured and Flynn comes in and throws 6 touchdowns. They all are part of systems. Brees ended up being a very good play in SD, then he became elite in NO. He's still one of the top 4 quarterbacks, but playing behind the worst pass protection he has had since being on the Saints. He's easily a first ballet HoF quarterback. He should've won MVP in 09 (easily was the best statistically). He has won a Superbowl, Superbowl MVP, multiple pro bowls, has been all-pro. System or not, he's one of the best ever.
