Burrow has been better than Brees through 5 years that’s not really debatable. Can he keep it up for another 5-10? Barring injury i don’t see why not.


Brees wasn't in a pass happy offense his first 5 years.

Let's see what Burrow needs to do before he's better than Brees :

2x offensive player of the year
13 Pro Bowls
7x passing yards leader
4x Td leader
2x passer rating leader
6x completion percentage leader

Highest completion percentage in a season -74.4%

Most passing TDs in a game -
7
Most consecutive games with a Td pass - 54

Most career 5000 yd seasons - 5

SB MVP

Don't compare Burrow to Brees until he accomplished the above. Until then he can't hold Brees jockstrap.

Would you rather have Chase/Higgins or Colston and Lance Moore?

Brees did it for a long time. Burrow isn't close just yet

Ehhhhh. Calvin Johnson was good, but Chase's season this year is about as good as any season Johnson had. I'll take 11 TDs over 300 additional yards.

The only think he hasn’t done is deliver without elite WRs. Brees was able to do that.

He is much better than Brees. If he had a good team around him we would be asking if he is as good as Brady.

And don’t tell me AR was more clutch. His playoff record was no better than Brees.


The MVP is a regular season award anyway. Brees best years statistically were either losing teams or someone Rodgers in 2011 Mahomes 2018 were slightly better unfortunately

He did not play his first year, year 2 he threw 17 TDs and 16 int on 526 passes. In year 3, his 2nd as a starter. Brees was benched for 40 yo Doug Flutie and the Chargers drafted a QB #1.
Burrow by contrast in year 1 as a starter only threw 5 picks and in year 2 had 34 TDs w 14 picks on 520 passes and did lead the league in comp %. Wow 6 fewer passes than Brees in a “pass happy offense”

Look Brees is a first ballot Hall of Famer and a top 10 all time QB. Burrow has much work to do to even get in the discussion but point of fact he has been better in his first 5 years than Brees was in his.

If you think Burrow is a Trump supporter I've got a bridge to sell you.

What's politics got to do with playing QB? Bregman is a liberal crybaby, no one ever says anything about him.

2009. Manning over Brees was at the time and still is a disgusting travesty.
