re: Has Burrow surpassed Brees?

Brees squandered a great deal of admiration nationwide when he paid homage to a rapist.

Sounds familiar

My favorite white cornerback of all time is….. uhhh..

Roger Werhli

Uh, no. I love Joe, but he played in Louisiana for 2 years. He accomplished, as a team, the same as Matt Mauck and Matt Flynn.

Drew played 16 years in Louisiana and accomplished what NO ONE has even remotely came close to accomplishing.

It’s Drew and it’ll always be Drew.

Joe is fun to follow, tho.

Yes. I do. People I know like Joe Burrow way more than they like Brees. You can thank the media and some of Drew’s former teammates for that, but it’s true.

yea a lot of people were pissed when drew wore the rapists name on his helmet and coward from his beliefs. He’s a bitch

Yes

Never woke up thinking about bress

Make sure you tell them he once led the Fighting Tigers to a 29-0 defeat, at home, to Alabama.

I sure will and then I’ll finish the story and tell them about how he went to Tuscaloosa the next year and whipped their arse in route to a NC.

Everyone loves Shaq. Everyone. But he brought zero national titles here.

This isn’t an argument for burrow being more impactful that Brees.


As a fan of both, I will say this. Burrow walked into a team with a cupboard full of talent fresh off of a couple nattys and another appearance.

Bree’s literally shaped a program that’s never won a division championship game, into a team that’s won a super bowl and was a legit contender most years. It was more rare for Brees to not get us into the playoffs.

As an aside, I remember Nagin at the Super Bowl parade toasting Drew Brees when Brees' float arrived, and said, "Move over, Archie Manning (or was it Peyton???), New Orleans has a new son!"

Pretty much a back-handed slap to the Mannings who call NOLA home, did nothing to deserve the slight & were just as excited the Saints won.

And yet, Brees soaked in all the praise. Kinda coming back around.

This is the epitome of what have you done for me lately?
Brees came in a time when morale was low and gave us hope and something to look to after Katrina wrecked much of the state. Then went on to be one of the best QBs in the history of the league and being the saints not only out of the cellar but to a super bowl win! Many people forgot the feeling after Katrina and when’s Brees got here.

Burrow - did much of the same from a football standpoint for LSU beating Alabama when it was starting to feel like they couldn’t anymore. Brought lsu to prominence again and created a following to the league.

But I will never forget what brees did for the state at the time. Burrow has a long way to go still.
