Im pretty sure most people know.. hes probably a top 10 QB of all time, and in an era with Rodgers, Brady, the Manning, etc he was right up there with em

[@clark2501]

@@yepdontcarebudthat’s the issue though. No one has done as much as Brees with as little help as he’s had, while destroying his shoulder, being undersized and having maybe average at best arm talent in NFL QB standards. With the stats Brees put up in the situations he was in, he should be firmly in the second best QB of all time argument, but due to his shitty MVP luck (either getting robbed, guys having all time great seasons in years he otherwise would’ve won it, or just having shitty teams holding him back) and bad postseason luck, we get people arguing about him being top 10 all time, much less squarely in the top 5 and arguably top 3 like he should be.

[@yepdontcarebud]

@clark2501 think you're pushing your luck, top 5? Maybe but that's gonna go down such a deep rabbit hole it's not even worth getting picky over. But what you're saying could be said about a lot of QBs in the top 20 all time. Eli Manning got screwed pretty much as hard as any great QB for example, you wanna talk about horrific teams lol At the end of the day who cares, Brees legacy speaks for itself. He's a champion and a 1st ballot HOFer. Really not much more you can accomplish. To me though Brady is #1, Peyton is #2 and everything after that is up for debate imo

[@nsaad3048]

Drew Brees is to Tom Brady what Larry Fitzgerald is to Jerry Rice. Yeah we all know who the GOATs are, but in their shadow were two guys who honestly did it the same way. Absolute perfection of the craft, two of the most unbelievable big game performers at their position, and did it over a long career. Stats, durability, you name it. They did everything as GOAT-like as possible, and one ring between the two of them. It almost renders the existence of the Saints and Cardinals as unjustifiable.

[@wescoast1928]

Brees is better

[@davidroberts7282]

At least Drew Brees' has a SB ring. All Larry Fitzgerald has is one NFC title ring (which I doubt HR wears too much), premature, occasional severe arthritis in his hands, feet, fingers, most parts of his body sometimes when he goes on his traveling excursions worldwide (he's even been to Antarctica, too back in 2012 for a SI diary trip). I'd like to believe Fitzgerald wishes he had a SB ring on his finger just like Drew does. Larry's memories of his lone, SB trip in 2008 are bittersweet, to put it politely and agonizing, more bluntly. To score a possible go-ahead TD catch and then be helpless to watch your defense blow it in the last minutes when Big Ben threw a laser, last-second TD to Santonio Holmes on his tippy-toes in the back end zone has to be a recurring nightmare nearly 15 years later.

He and Sean saved our team after Katrina. And probably saved this state when we kicked Atlantas a** when the Suoerdome re-opened. My parents were at that game. They were also at the grand opening in the 70s, when the Allman Brothers Band came and played for the Grand Opening. A few years later, I got them a huge framed picture of a still shot from that game. Saints were returning a ball for a touchdown on the play they got the pic of. They still have it hanging up in their house to this day.

[@endrykperez412]

He's literally the heart of New Orleans 💯💯🐐

[@eddieredmann3]

The biggest thing that I always have to stress to people about Drew Brees was just how much he did with how little he had. The year they won that Super Bowl, Drew's no. 1 receiver was a 7th round draft pick out of HOFSTRA who had 0 All-Pro selections (though he had some solidly underrated years, so no shade to Marques Colston), and his no. 1 running back was an undrafted free agent out of Illinois. I say that with no shade to anyone on those teams, but you have to remember just how impressive his career was.

[@thesteveterryproject9611]

As a Falcons fan I have nightmares of Drew Brees absolutely terrorizing us

No actually, Romo is the most totured. At least Brees won an SB. Romo had to pull and carry deficient cowboys rosters and coaching and he got blamed for everything. Romo's body was so beat up behind all the horrible lines he had most of his career. To this day people still think he was a horrible choker

[@itsjordandclay]

Reason why Drew Brees played that last game of the season where he tore his shoulder, was actually because Schottenheimer and the GM disagreed with each other, GM wanted Rivers, Marty was a believer in Brees and wanted to prove it. Which ultimately what led to both of them being gone from the team. (I know Marty was fired after 06’, but it was a 14-2 record season)

[@miguelntirampeba4797]

SOMEBODY FINALLY SAID IT! I’ve been on this since 2014. I firmly believe that Brees is a top 4 QB OAT, but is by far the least fortunate of the greats. Its not even close.

[@keynanvarnado7592]

Non saints fans really cannot understand or fathom how much the defense, and the saints organization's inability to build a defense, tarnished this man's legacy. I say it to everyone I have a debate with about this. You put Drew on the teams and the situations Tom Brady was gifted with for most of his career he would have a relatively equal amount of success. Because he had an equal amount of work ethic and desire to win and arguably more talent because he is undisputedly the most accurate quarterback to ever play. The Saints waited till the very tail end of Drew's career to finally put competent defenses on the field for him when his arm was already shot and he had to become a game manager style player. 2011 in particular it is unforgivable how much his defense let him and that historic offense down.

Do not forget that the WC game held in SEA, was played without all but one Starting DB, the rest 2nd Stringers, and a called up Practice Squad 3rd Stringer, plus two Starting 2nd Sting LB’s, as 2 Starting LB’s were ruled out. Also, if you break down the ‘Beastquake’ TD run, there was 4 Illegal Blocks to the Back. It was a rigged game for the Seahawks, because of all the controversy of a losing team winning the NFC West, and hosting a playoff game. Saints fans won’t forget. And the following year, against the 49’ers, the Super dome was HOSTING the SB. AND, let’s not forget, prior to the two COVID Seasons, no team had ever hosted the SB. And speaking of the COVID SB’s, it made sense logistically to have a home team host the SB, because they only had to quarantine one team. The Drew Brees era Saints, were robbed of at least 4 Super Bowl appearances (and not to mention the GOAT Drew Brees getting robbed of at least 3 MVP’s), it was all over the disproved ‘Bounty Gate’, punishments. Which, brings up the fact that before the 49’s Playoff game, they were informed of the ‘Bounty Gate’ scandal, with Payton informing Gregg Williams that he was going to be fired. So Williams pay back was to call a Cover 0, to leave several 49’s uncovered. I don’t care if Tom Brady finally hold the major records, he has to play 44yrs to break Drew’s unbelievable career. Remember, Drew wasn’t supposed to be the greatest, he was too small, didn’t have the strongest arm, etc. And he dominated against Brady, Rodgers, and Manning-PERIOD.

[@moonman1717]

The worst thing about those losses to SF in '12 and the Rams in '19 were that those teams went on to choke to easier teams right after. SF had no business losing to a Giants team we destroyed in the regular season, and that Giants team just edged past a Gronk-less weak Patriots team. The Rams looked putrid against a weak Pats team in what was a brutally bad SB. People talk about the Minnesota Miracle and the non-call push-off from Kyle Rudolph, but no one was stopping the Eagles RPO in '18, or the Chiefs offense in 2020.

[@rainmakerjim]

Saints fan since the 70’s. The Drew Brees era was magical. Yet, as you have so accurately and properly portrayed in this video, the Football Gods had not been kind to him since the Super Bowl win in 2010. He only had decent defenses from 2018 till retirement. He was definitely out of gas in that last game against TB 12. The 2020 season was also Micheal Thomases last before becoming permanently injured in the first game against the Bucs that year, a game the Saints dominated and won, the ex-LSU linebacker, Devin White stepped on MT’s ankle on a play in the end zone. Oh and Devin White also ended Jameis Winston’s career as a starter on another cheap shot; yet I digress. Brees’s bad luck with the Saints is a Saints thing. The team has seemed cursed since it’s founding.

Tom's defenses were what helped him win so much. No qb in NFL history has had such consistently goid defenses.

No one bothers to even dig into the team aspect of th sport.

[@michaelmacdonald2907]

Lived in San Diego - watched every game. One of his problems was that he seldom if ever looked off a receiver. There was no progression, no check-off, no pump fake. He would stare-down the receiver then throw to him . . no matter what. That plus SD defense always sucked. Even before they sold their D-line to San Francisco.

He wouldn't win another SB but, to me, he is way far one of the best QBs of all time, always carrying the Saints on his shoulders. Except his last game against Bucs, he always put the team in position to win but the decense let him down. Long life to Drew Brees.

It's a collision sport and this is what defensive players get paid millions to do. They just didn't like that we had a system that they didn't know about so they exposed us. All the other teams didn't get outed because if people knew everyone was doing it it would be bad for business and people would try to get rid of the league especially because people are so soft nowadays and were starting to turn soft back then. We had to get outed in order to stop a butterfly effect that would have destroyed the league. Smh

He didn't bring anyone any title. That championship was rightfully stolen because Gregg Williams is a cheating piece of trash. The Saints are a joke. Always have been, always will be.

I mean the cheating certainly helped with that Super Bowl

[@ChrisPtoes27]

@@ComicSams48 I can assure you things like the bounty gate scandal have and still happen in the nfl. Every team has at one point done something similar. The saints case just got publicity. The coaches will do anything to save their million dollar jobs, even if it means doing something unethical. I guarantee there are countless other coaches that used subtle cheating methods but just didn’t get caught. It’s fucked up but that’s how it is in sports sometimes.

“Far better tools” I see you know nothing about the past 15 years of the packers. GB front office never went after weapons for Aaron. Every WR who left GB did worse, with very few exceptions. Remember Greg Jennings? MVS is about to get cut too.

This is why he is higher than Tom Brady and Peyton manning on my favorite list, all the pain, all the suffering, 3 sad playoff losses, miracles, him carrying the saints cause they were bad everywhere else, I had this thought after I watched the saints vs Vikings in the 2019 wild card, I looked back on his history, and I wish he was in the situation Tom Brady was in, I honestly think he could have done more than Tom. I’m glad someone actually talks about this legend, while everyone else doesn’t.

[@dskyyksd]

He had more than 3 sad playoff losses. Don't forget the one vs. the 49ers. Don't forget the annoying Beastmode game. Don't forget losing yet again on the road to a 7-9 Seahawks team after they fell from the #2 seed to the #6 seed on one play because their shitty defense couldn't stop Jello. Don't forget when he racked up 15,000 passing yards over 3 straight losing seasons because, 48 times again, the Saints defense couldn't stop Jello. I am sorry, but the Super Bowl ring he did get is still not enough to take away the sting of all that might have been, 99% of that sting being the interference non-call vs. the Rams. But I'm not bitter.

@@dskyyksdhis playoff career started with heartbreak too. In his first postseason appearance with the Chargers, his team lost after his kicker missed a 40 yard FG in OT. I doubt they go to a SB that season, but to lose your first playoff game like that and to have that luck continue for the rest of your career is hard to handle. The dude isn’t a quitter though. I feel most QBs would’ve just given up after 2018 after the career Brees had. He didn’t and tried to make it happen, but age and injuries ruined any last chances he had (and a Jared Cook fumble put the final nail in the coffin).

Rodgers has just one ring as well. You can't win them all the time. Unless your last name is Brady. But even brady took a decade To win more after getting his first 3 .
