Drew Brees - The Most Overrated QB since Favre?

[TexasMan]

No, he's not, OP.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Brees and his 20+ INTs every season land strictly in the 2nd and 3rd tier of QBs.

He had 20+ int's 1 time in his career.

Brady has never done it.
Manning has done it twice.
Big Ben has done it once.
Rivers has done it once.

No, he's not, OP.

Then who is?!

 

[cwood]

Are there any elite quarterbacks that HammerDown does not believe are overrated?

Just Peyton, but it's hard to tell what HammerDown actually believes and what he says just to get a reaction.

 

[TexasMan]

Drew Brees is not overrated.

 

[HammerDown]

Are there any elite quarterbacks that HammerDown does not believe are overrated?

No one will ever compare with Brett Favre in that dept.

 

[Shanemansj13]

The new elite is overrated.

 

[TexasMan]

Oh mah bad soz to interfere.

Yes, it's not popular to say it and the sheep will flip the fuck out in this thread. But it's time that we come out and say it.

Brees is quite possibly the most consistently overrated QB since Brett Favre. He's not an elite QB and maybe not even 2nd tier.

And I'll go a step further. Drew Brees must have been a marketing major at Purdue because it's been sheer genius how this man has profited so immensely off Hurricane Katrina sympathy. It's been amazing (and disgusting) to watch him pull it off.

And please, don't respond with numbers. Stats don't apply in this case because Drew Brees is a system QB. He's a product of a superb system that demands he work out of the shotgun on 95% of snaps. Plug someone like Flacco or Ryan into that system and they'd be true elites, threatening to enter the Peyton Manning realm. Hell, Tebow would look good in that system.

Are you serious?

 

[BF4L]

I believe even Hammerdown would take Brady over Brees and Favre.

 

[Smart]

Then who is?!

Andrew "i'm not in the top 25 in QB rating but the media still insists i'm a top eight QB" Luck

 

[HammerDown]

Drew Brees is not overrated.

 

[LPinSLC]

He may be overrated but he's under... 6' tall. I love that they mention it every game... Russell Wilson is too? No way!

 

[Shanemansj13]

Brian Hoyer is elite.

Then who is?!

Tebow was for a bit. "He's not the worst passer ever to wear an NFL uniform, I swear."

The funniest about this thread is making it seem like Brees always throw a bunch of ints

He's never over 6' tall though.

Tebow was for a bit. "He's not the worst passer ever to wear an NFL uniform, I swear."

Tebow was over-hyped but no one took him seriously. But you have a whole contingent who truly believe that Brees is one of the GOAT.

 

[bksballer89]

Thru 12 games this year, Brees only threw 8 ints and you're comparing his INTS to Brett Favre?
