Just a damn shame we couldn't field a competent defense to raise that sample size. Based off the divine intervention last Monday, it seems God may be on our side this season, and Drew may finally get ring numero dos

The knock on him on not winning more playoff games is hilarious. He's been an incredible performer in the post-season. Losses have in every single case happened because the defense lapsed.

Also, Manning in the AFC South and Brady in the AFC East have/will be continue to be cakewalks to winning those divisions every year. The NFC South didn't even have a repeat winner until what, 2014?

Reasoning as to why you did the Ints stat as relative to TDs as opposed to per game like every other stat is?

Doesn't really affect much doing it either way. Rodgers is the only one better than Brees either way.

to convey scoring efficiency vs turnovers

however the QBs would still rank in similar order if you did AVG turnovers per game

Also I’m guessing because TD to INT ratio is typically how those numbers are put into perspective. Similar to how baseball uses strikeout to walk ratio.

Probably would be hard to do, but I'm curious how many total sacks (and sacks per game) they've each had in the playoffs.

He plays in a dome. Imagine his per game stats if he spent January in New England or Green Bay. Would not be pretty IMO

You would be very wrong. We can’t speak for Brees playing in New England or Green Bay specifically since that has never happened in the playoffs.

But here are the career numbers for Brees compared to Tom Brady in outdoor playoff games.(per game average)

Brady - 62% completion percentage, 264 yards, 1.86 TD, .862 INT
Brees - 65% completion percentage, 341 yards, 2.00 TD, .857 INT

So, outdoors in January, Brees is better than Brady by every measure.
