Brees was in a better offense with more talent around him but Rodgers threw a prettier ball
eh.
Jimmy Graham Michael Thomas at the very end.
Rodgers had Adams in GB for 8 years.
But people act like Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings and Donald Driver were a bunch of bums.
Drew’s top 3 WRs in 2009 never even made a pro bowl. not even in 2009 when we were 13-3 and all your starters get a 1st seed bump.

Height doesn’t negate talent and the mental talent is the most important physical skill you can posses which is why Brees was so good. Not sure when this started but separating the mind from the body in order to disqualify one and elevate the other is the single biggest mistake in athletic evaluation but it seems to be what a large portion of these boards do. It’s what you’re doing and it’s why you can’t see these players properly.

Rodgers had better weapons overall IMO, but let's not pretend that was always the case. He took a really good Cardinal team to OT in the playoffs with the best WR's being Jeff Janis and Jared Abbrederis

Brees is better IMO…
Rodgers is great but Brees went to an organization equivalent of the Jaguars and won a SB with them…
Should have went to another also if not for NFL screwing over saints with the no PI call vs Rams…
Not even to mention all the records Brees held/& still holds while doing it with the Saints of all teams…
Doing all that while only playing with 1 pro bowl receiver ever in his career with saints (Michael Thomas who didn’t come along until Brees’ last 5 years in Nola)

Rodgers, because he didn't back down to wokism.
Is that how you do it?

Is Aaron really MAGA when he snubbed Trump? Brees shared a suite with him.

He’s not, but for a serious answer: Rodger’s revolutionized the position.
Rodger had a natural throwing motion that no one else was using and other QB and coaches began studying. Rodger’s also has elite field vision. It is not often that QBs are revered for something other than running speed, defense reading, or arm strength. Rodgers was unique.

god you call yourself a Saints fan, but your just a fanwagon little twat - i wish you would just faking being a Saints fan.

Because of the no call in 2018. Brees going to 1 SB is why he is underrated.

if Rodgers would have played all of those years under Payton instead of Brees, who do you think has the better resume?

Obviously taking a sack is much better than throwing an interception, but I always found Rodgers had those low int seasons because he would hold on to the ball way too long. For reference he's been sacked 131 more times than Brees, with 2600 fewer drop backs. Weirdly Brees has exactly 131 more interceptions. Having watched every throw of Drew's Saints career, his accuracy is unmatched. It's honestly insane what he did at his height. That being said, peak Rodgers was must see tv, but let him play another season or 2 and the memories of his prime will fade, just like Brees. A lot of people think of Drew as some check down king because he was out there playing with half an arm at the end. You don't have 4-5000 yard seasons by throwing slants all day. Both all-time greats and I'd pick Drew, however I think the history books will favor Rodgers because of the MVP's.

Rodger’s never threw interceptions. That is the main difference. And he had a much better arm.

Playing the most important position on the field, the "virtually unmatched" QB should have more than one.
But he doesn't.
