If Tom Brady didnt miss 2008...

[Rock Strongo]

we'd have a hell of a battle on our hands for statistical dominance between brees and brady. bradys missed season probably would have added around 4800 yards, 35 TD's, and 7-9 picks or so to his totals. so lets add that along with 550 attempts and 375 completions or so.

That being said, we have a heck of a battle.

Attempts:

Brady - 9925
Brees - 9783

Completions:

Brady - 6379
Brees - 6586

Yards:

Brady - 75,314
Brees - 74,437 (all time leader)

TD's:

Brady - 552
Brees - 520

INT's:

Brady - 180
Brees - 233


this would have been an epic end to 2 careers if not for that cheap hit on bradys knee.

We are lucky to have all seen both play.

 

[Dude]

Even with missed season
Brady 269 games
Brees 264

Brees 264

yeah, a 5 game difference.

Not to mention there's never any 'iron-man' talk like there was with Favre. If not for that one freak hit, Brady would own that title, too.

Pfft...put Brady in San Diego for 5 years and see how much his stats improve



Also, morning Rock

Exactly, Brady inherited a Super-Team that Drew Bledsoe had built. Brees got pounded AF in SD

you mean the 5-11 super team?

but the pats probably would have won only 10 games instead of 11.

Would Brady have gotten that iron-man record before the 2016 season when he was suspended for 4 games?

They were playing rope-a-dope to get rid of Bledsoe. You all saw how they played after he was injured

you have no idea how pissed i was when this happened.

but thanks mo. the hospital said it was like bledsoe hit a brick wall at 30 mph in a car. i remember that on the news.

Oh, you mean the "Sorry about your small penis, Roger" suspension?

YUP, because that weak shit was stupid.

If we all started an If thread for our respective teams, there would be multiple SB champions every year. I'd say at least 8.

 

[mrschaney]

Umm, nevermind.

 

[Rock Strongo]

Umm, nevermind.

thank god.

After watching Brees look like a lost puppy his first couple of years in the league, it's pretty amazing what he ultimately accomplished

 

[williewilliejuan]

I think the better question is “What if he never came back?”

How many rings do you think Matt Cassel would have gotten? I’d say the over/under should be at least eight.

 

[Cave_Johnson]

And if Manning didn't miss 2011 they'd both still be trailing him in basically all categories. You can play this game forever with multiple QBs.

But then we wouldn't have known that Tom likes to swap spit with his son.
