Brees is the best QB in the NFL

[Guest DrewBreesIsGod]

Just because the Saints won the Super Bowl? That makes them the better team but says nothing about individual players. Brees is a very good QB and among the elite today but not the best. That doesn't mean he can't become the best and very well could but he just isn't there yet.

In all honesty, it's hard to say this when Brady has 3 rings and Big Ben has 2. And while I really don't like Ben or the Steelers, Ben would have never got thrown around like Brees did by Freeny on that one play in the SB.

Lame argument; Brees wouldn't have been throwing picks left and right like Big Ben does...it's a wash

If you want to hear how good Brees is then go to the Stainsreport or whatever it is. Is Brees gonna lead his team to that outstanding 7-9 record from 07 or the killer 8-8 record from 08 again next year? Probably close to it, what he won't do is lead his teams CONSISTANTLY then he is still one level down from Brady and Manning. All three of these guys are system QB's, but Brady and Manning could work in any system, with any talent around. Sean Payton did a good job this year balancing out the offense and putting emphasis on the defense, and with a lack-luster NFL year, everything fit into place to win the championship. Do it a couple more times before you put Brees above the two best ever.

If i was building a team and had to choose one of those QB's to lead me for the next 10 years, i might put Brees at the top.

Manning: How much longer is he going to play? Could be a while. He hasnt been hit much over his career and that definitely helps his longevity.

Favre: no way

Brady: Very big question mark in my mind when it comes to his health these days. The guy has been hurt quite a bit the last few years. Is that an isolated thing? Or will this trend continue? If its not, id probably pick Brady over Brees.

Thru 1/1/2009. And indi stats only go thru 2008.

I bet at one time cassette tapes outsold CD's....

Lol. Brees has played good what? A few seasons at most? By no close means is he one of the greatest QB's of all time. Just because he out performed Manning in one game doesn't mean he is better than everyone.

Lame argument? Really. Comparing QB's based on number of championships is probably the only real way of comparing these guys. Its the same reason Marino, maybe the best QB ever, isn't in the same conversation as Montana, Elway and Aikman. Winning one Super Bowl puts Brees in the same conversation as Farve and Manning, both Eli and Peyton, not better. Two will get him in with Ben and three will get him in with Brady. Until his thumb is the only finger without a ring on it he isn't the clear best in the NFL.

[Ricky Spanish]

i will argue the fact that he is currently the reigning super bowl MVP and just won a super bowl, therefore, he is currently the best QB in the league right now.

Had peyton done it, it would be him, had matt moore done it, it would be him. Had jake done it, it would be him...

ok maybe not jake...

that was when the metric was remade. that's all the passing info for 2009 for both QBs.

Sorry you can't read.

I put Brees right at the top of the list in 2nd.

I place Rothlisberger first.

I really do.

More rings than Manning, better field general than Brady.

brees can vanish for entire halves at a time, then go nuts in a quick span. he's like JR Smith of the NFL

I'd put him behind Manning, Brady, Roethlisberger, Rogers, Rivers, and maybe Schaub, but Matt has better people catching the ball.

5,000 yds+ and he vanishes entire halves. Guy makes the best decisions PERIOD in the NFL.
