Drew Brees - The Most Overrated QB since Favre?

[Shanemansj13]

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

But why does one game not make him elite, that is what you are pointing out obviously. Makes no sense.

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.

The schedule hasn't been all that week. If the Bears make the playoffs and the Saints beat Carolina in one of their 2 games with them, it would mean that the Saints would have beaten every NFC playoffs team for the 2013 season except Seattle.

So the Seahawks have an average defense?

Not sure why you and bks insist on taking it in this direction.

Dude, WTF?! Look at the title of the thread! Focus on the part that says "since Favre."

Just curious but if it was the 4th quarter and your team is down by 4 points with 2 minutes left, in what order would you want the following QBs:

Brees, Big Ben, Rivers, Wilson, Romo

 

[BeastHawk]

This is complete bullshit. Look at what Brees has accomplished since he's been in the league. Overrated my ass.

He's just trying to take away from Seattle win

Big Ben

Brees
Romo

Brees
Little Ben
Wilson
Rivers
Romo

Yeah, that's it. This has nothing to do with Drew Brees. It's all about the Seattle win. Because I really care about that so much.

I'll have to try harder next time if I want to fool bks.

 

[Clayton]

Big Ben
Rivers
Wilson
Brees
Romo

Interesting. I agree with Big Ben being #1 but Id have Wilson #2, Brees #3, Romo #4 and Rivers #5

That order. But the drop off is real fast.

 

[BeastHawk]

I see. He doesn't have to be such a douchebag about it. I may be a Seahawk homer, but I recognize true talent when I see it. Hell even Russell Wilson is a Drew Brees Admirer.

That's a good amount of time and it is in the discussion of all the QB's we are naming. You still fail, I think you just have a personal vendetta against him bc in no way is Brees overrated.

 

[HammerDown]

I guess the only real thing I have left to add to this discussion is this:

Brees is pedestrian.

Very pedestrian.

Good night, mofos. I'm going to the bar with some buddies a little later.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I agree.

Yes, that's it. Personal vendetta.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Whatever.

Bottomline: Brees is not overrated, and I think most could agree.

 

[JDM]

Whatever.

He is just below elite. He is too distinctly below the elite guys to be called elite.

I actually think they are all in the same tier somewhere below the elite (Rodgers, Peyton, Brady) and somewhere above the solid starting QBs (Flacco, Ryan, Newton, Stafford, Luck)
