Stat padder Very accurate in his prime Elite but not quite Peyton/Brady level Better than Rivers/Big Ben I’d give him top 10 for sure, there’s a case for top 5 at 4th or 5th
Probably the most overrated QB ive seen he owes everything to Sean Peyton Saints should’ve moved on a couple years ago they wasted some championship caliber rosters on him the last couple seasons
Brees is a guy i'll remember being pretty good, with great stats, but never a scary guy for my team to face the way i dreaded seeing Peyton or Rodgers on the schedule. He has stats but he's a tier below the top guys if i'm going by my (amateur fan) eye test.
I dont see how Rodgers is in the Brady-Manning tier, but not Brees. Honestly, Brady may be in his own tier. Depeding on how we judge QB's.
Biased opinion as a Saints fan: Top 5 all time, help turn the Saints from a joke franchise to the super bowl and annual playoff team. One of the top passers ever which is impressive considering that he's barely 6 feet. Unbiased opinion: Top 10ish, choked a number of chances to get back to the super bowl with teams that were excellent on defense, owes me at least 2000 on bets he lost for me over the years. Sean Payton deserves credit for his success also.
Like a bizzaro reverse Dirk. Where Dirk was a massive choker throughout his prime, and won a ship late that validated him. Brees won a ship in his prime, and turned into a huge choker late that really cost his legacy.. Still a great player.
Brees never won any seasonal awards or was the best at his position. He had a lot of mediocre seasons and a bunch of one and dones that helped plie up his career stats. So does Manning but we all know he was the best at his position at some point while Brees was never. Rodgers has all time stats , about to get his 3rd MVP, was the best at his position multiple times and has an SB ring. Anyone with eyes can say Brees was never in these players level ever....and he played in a Dome...
