[@blakebrown84]

Drew Brees is the most accomplished quarterback we’ve ever seen. He was credited for his longevity for playing in the NFL for 20 seasons with the Chargers and Saints. His best years have to be when he was a member of the New Orleans Saints. He finished his career with 80,358 yards and 571 touchdowns with 752 rushing yards and 25 touchdowns. He is known for his passing ability, so he wasn’t no mobile quarterback. He stood 6 foot, 209 pounds as a pocket passer.

[@lakerskid2013]

I don’t ever listen to anybody that tries saying a QB is too short to succeed because of how Drew Brees did it. Now we’re seeing more and more teams going for these shorter QBs because of the success Brees had in his career. Russell Wilson is well accomplished and while the verdict is still out on Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray, they still have potential to be great as well.

[@blakebrown84]

@@lakerskid2013 we don’t listen to naysayers at all. He went out and put in the work and it ain’t about the height or how much you weight. It’s about the skills and dedication that takes to get to the league. Go to the combine and show them that they’re worth being there.

[@dominicpancella3012]

Same on all counts. He's the primary reason why I became a Saints fan

[@MaxxadTV]

If not for Tom Brady, Drew Brees would hold nearly all the number 1 stats for a QB. Unfortunately, he was apart of teams that were just never Superbowl material and history showed that, bar that one season with Saints. One or the unluckiest QBs of all time.

[@JustFootball]

Yea he had a great underdog story career

[@lakerskid2013]

He needed the Saints as much as they needed him. Before Drew Brees the only notable QBs the Saints ever had that stayed there for any long period of time alongside being anything somewhat respectable were Archie Manning, Bobby Hebert, and Aaron Brooks.

GOAT

[@jos6884]

Drew should’ve won mvp in 2009 and possibly 2011, and 2012 if Payton didn’t get suspended

[@brianlesley4099]

So thankful I got to watch this legend play. Still can’t believe he never won an mvp.

[@dominicpancella3012]

He's one of the unluckiest quarterbacks of all time-TubFrog has a great video on that. Not only were his chances of ever winning anything (both championships and MVPs) severely diminished right off the bat by playing at the same time as Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning, and Aaron Rodgers, but he often had to carry his team due to the lack of talent around him, and even when he would make the playoffs, he and the Saints frequently got jobbed (perhaps as punishment for the scandal surrounding the only Lombardi he _did_ win). He put up insane stats anyway, including having the passing yards record for two years before it was broken by a single yard and completing an astonishing 96.7% of his passes in a game. Easily my favorite player as a kid and a large part of why I became a fan of the Saints.

I wanna point out to the conspiracy theorists that we won the super bowl 4 almost 5 years after katrina so please dont be the idiot who says it was a sympathy super bowl.

[@thomasisinspacethomasisins8471]

Good presentation, but. Brees was 9 - 9 in playoff appearances for how many years,? Brady was 35 - 12. There is a HUUGE difference between someone who can just pass a ball in distance extremely well, but then blow it in completions in 3rd & 4th downs. ESPECIALY in the playoffs Brady was able to make those completions in the red zone, 3rd & 4th downs. Thats why he was 35 - 12 in playoff appearances, vs drew's 9 - 9. Rest unsaid. Its a good presentation, but drew was NOT a playoff contender or superbowl appearance repeat. In a way, you have see the longevity of what makes a player good in that respect, brady had that. Brees didnt.

[@JustFootball]

The difference is Brady almost never had a defense that was worst than top 10

[@thomasisinspacethomasisins8471]

@@JustFootball have to agree. So why could they not defend brees in the good years thru the playoffs.. 9 wins - 9 losses, that's a lot of years to only make it to the Superbowl one time. Agree on defense, but drew blew alot of playoff appearance with the interceptions that he's thrown, the last game he played which was wild card in the dome vs brady, defense was even on both sides, but drew again threw too many interceptions which cost the game, & that was the last one he ever played professionaly. Well, to the future. The youth need to see change happen, my opinion just recruit locally, one day another bobby aber will appear and that will be the best thing ever. How i feel about brees is another thing entirely. Don't care for him like everyone else. 🥲😂 The saints will have a winner one day, and that will be a sight to see thankfully, 👍

[@lakerskid2013]

⁠@@thomasisinspacethomasisins8471Even the rare times Drew Brees had really solid defenses he still blew it, same with Aaron Rodgers although I would put Brees over Rodgers on the all-time ranks. Tom Brady still was more than good enough to carry a team if his defense was struggling so even if he had more years without a defense even ranked in the top of the league, I bet he still would’ve found a way to get it done because of how good he was and how capable he was with taking over games. I’m not saying Brees couldn’t do the same but I definitely agree with you that he would’ve found a way to screw it up more times than not.

@@acdcking1234 3 of the 5 5k seasons, they missed the playoffs. I give you 2011 He has great that year, that's the only year i would say he was great in. Plus he underperformed tremendously in the playoffs. Wasn't good vs the seahawks in 2013, game was closer because garbage time td with 10 seconds left Didn't play well in Minneapolis miracle game The missed call vs The Rams gets all of the blame, but that didn't lose them the game. The saints got the ball first in OT and Brees threw an interception. Wasn't good & outplayed by Kirk in 2019 Horrible and the reason they lost vs the buccs. Imo he was a bit of a stat padder & people over look his flaws and his performances by looking at the box score and his regular season stats. I don't think any team was ever scared of facing Drew Brees in the way they were scared to face Peyton (which is ironic because peyton also didn't have much playoff success for being an all time great) or Brady.
