A dome atmosphere allows all of the prime level athletes to play to their max level. Brees torches them when they play at their best in ideal conditions.

Instead of relishing one of the greats, people seem to always want to explain away brees greatness. It’s pretty pathetic tbh.

Brady has been involved in how many cheating scandals?

AFC East GOAT QB besides Brady during his tenure...is Pennington?

Brees has 2 NFL MVPs in division

I'm sure Drew would trade Mia and Buff every year for 15 Carolina or 16 Atlanta

Belicheat says he knows nothing about the latest 2019 incident of Patriots videotaping an opponents sideline.

How many other times were they not caught that he knows nothing about?

Patriots have been cheating their way through a mediocre division for years.

There's an asterisk for ya Simmons.

He was different 10 years ago as a nobody on ESPN's Page 2. Things changed dramatically after when ESPN elevated him to Superstar status with the 30 for 30 series and the dedicated website. Then he started to believe his own BS. Once he became a multi-millionaire and moved to LA he became just another insufferable narcissist.

His argument is rich considering he’s a Pats fan. Brady has gone against awful bills, Dolphins, and Jets teams for more than a decade.

Bucs have been better than the Bills and Dolphins for sure and outside of a few seasons, the jets too.

Carolina and ATL have consistently been two of the top 8 NFC teams in the Brees era.

Glad to see that he found the time to take Brady’s dick out of his mouth so that he could record a podcast. Oh wait.

On his latest podcast with Cousin Sal, the great Bill Simmons went on a minute long rant about how Brees plays 60% of his games every year in a dome or in Tampa. Says his records are bogus and that the worst weather game he plays each year is in Charlotte.
Brees has a better passer rating outdoors than Brady in the postseason.

The discrepancies that people believe this causes are marginal when we utilize a legit sample size.

Pulled stats for Drew, Peyton, Brady, and Rodgers....

Obviously, the following numbers do not include stadiums with a retractable roof. They do include all playoff games.

QB Stats in All Outdoor Stadiums Since 2006

Passing Yards Per Game
1. Drew Brees: 286.4 (80 games)
2. Peyton Manning: 280.5 (94 games)
3. Tom Brady: 276.0 (211 games)
4. Aaron Rodgers: 258.7 (155 games)

Completion Percentage
1. Drew Brees: 66.9%
2. Peyton Manning: 65.6%
3. Tom Brady: 64.3%
4. Aaron Rodgers: 64.1%

Passer Rating
1. Aaron Rodgers: 101.4
2. Tom Brady: 98.5
3. Peyton Manning: 96.5
4. Drew Brees: 95.6

Now let us take a look at outdoor stadiums on the road/neutral site

QB Stats on Road or Neutral Site in Outdoor Stadiums Since 2006

Passing Yards Per Game
1. Drew Brees: 286.4
2. Peyton Manning: 279.8
3. Tom Brady: 272.6
4. Aaron Rodgers: 251.5

Completion Percentage
1. Drew Brees: 66.9%
2. Peyton Manning: 65.0%
3. Tom Brady: 63.0%
4. Aaron Rodgers: 61.8%

Passer Rating
1. Tom Brady: 96.4
2. Drew Brees: 95.6
3. Aaron Rodgers: 92.8
4. Peyton Manning: 92.1

But wait Mr. Ultimate Warrior, muh cold weather!!!!!

So, let us take a look at road/neutral site games in outdoor stadiums when the temperature is 45 degrees or below ( )

QB Stats on Road or Neutral Site in Outdoor Stadiums in 45 Degrees or Below Since 2006

People seem to forget that Brees played at Purdue in the Big 10. Gets mighty fricking cold in Big 10 country.

The cold does not bother Brees.

Obviously, same can be said for Brady.

They are both magnificent, and we should enjoy what little time we have left to watch two All-Time Greats.

Not to mention the fact that the Patriots can’t seem to go more than 2 seasons at a stretch without getting busted in some kind of a cheating scandal.
