Drew Brees - The Most Overrated QB since Favre?

[HammerDown]

"But... but... but... Brees is so clutch."

"Take care of business and you don't need to be clutch. Stop throwing so many damn INTs and you don't need to be clutch."

"Well, yeah....... but, ummmm Brees has a ring!!!"

 

[JDM]

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.

You had a whole group of people that believed Tebow belonged on a roster... Much more impressive with how awful Tebow was.

 

[HammerDown]

Brees was pedestrian as shit tonight.

BTW in the 2009 playoffs all he did was complete 72% of his passes, had a QB rating of 117, and threw 8 TDs and 0 INTs.

And how can we forget his game against SF in the playoffs? The man threw for 462 yards/4 tds and absolutely shredded them in the 2nd half of that game

Tebow and Brees should get together and do a benefit for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Like I said, he was elite in 2009. And Kenny Stabler was elite in 1977. This is 2013.

How about we give some credit to the Seattle defense who had 2 full weeks to prepare for this game? It's not like they played the Cowboys defense tonight.

In order to beat Seattle in their place you must get out to a fast start and we failed to do that tonight

I mostly agree with the direction of this thread but...

Schaub > Brees

Really?

 

[bksballer89]

Like I said, he was elite in 2009. And Kenny Stabler was elite in 1977. This is 2013.

Yep you're right HD. He entered the game completing 68% of his passes, 28 TDS, 8 INTS, and QB Rating of 107.3

Yep those are not elite numbers.

Circumcisions?

 

[HammerDown]

In 2009, Brees gave up more points than the Saints defense did.

"So?" - Brees fan

Brees was pedestrian as shit tonight.

It was the least amount of yards in the Payton-Brees era. This Hawks D is insane!

Okay, gotcha.

So when Brees plays good, he's the GOAT.

When he sucks? "Their defense was great tonight."

LOL@ basing your opinion on one vs the most dominant D that we have seen in awhile

 

[Shanemansj13]

IMO Brees has never been the GOAT. There are 4 elite QB's, doesn't mean he is the best, but he is still great; nobody can deny that.

 

[HammerDown]

It was the least amount of yards in the Payton-Brees era. This Hawks D is insane!

Which goes to my point that Brees is a system QB. Hamper that system with at least average defense and Brees is suddenly very pedestrian. Fortunately for Brees, the Saints have a weak-ass schedule.

He was bad tonight but sometimes you have to tip your cap to your opponent. Making some stupid excuses when the opponent clearly outplayed you is stuff a sore loser does. Acting like Seattle did nothing tonight is comical

If only we had a poster on this board who was obsessed with PEDs...

So even the most damning of stats is easily dismissed, right? Truly amazing! :rollseyes:

So the Seahawks have an average defense?
