Brees is the best QB in the NFL

Okaaye, umm, he's too short, too nice, has a (bottle) rocket arm, has a WMD growing on the side of his face. It's really nice when someone overcomes the (ahem) shortcomings that life deals them. Bless his heart.

In reality he is the best QB in the NFL today, right up until Sep. 9, 2010. See ya then. Just for perspective, from January to September of 2001 it was Trent Dilfer. :D

In all seriousness, Brees should be included in the discussion of who is the best right now. I won't argue against him. But you can't come in here, throw down that gauntlet and not expect a raspberry in response.

Bree's is undeniably an elite QB, with an incredibly accurate throw and all the intangibles that make QBs great, I am hesitant to agree because of Sean Payton.

Sean Payton has always been an incredible offensive playcaller and he designs plays and drives with few peers. Considering that you have to wonder if Brees could operate like Manning does, who effectively just has a consultant as an OC. Manning often calls the plays himself.

Brees is incredible, but I think he has the perfect HC who plays to everyone of his strengths. Due to that, it would be hard to put Manning below Brees, simply because of the extra things Manning does over Drew and still performs equally or better in most situations.

In addition Manning has played this way his entire career at this level, Brees has not, which does suggest that and Sean Payton have got the best out of each other.

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.

    • You are right--it was DC.  I remember talking to him at Belk in Albemarle one day--the Panthers were on a bye and they were (at the time) a disapointing 4-4.  I mentioned that the record was disappointing and he seemed to get a bit annoyed.  He dId not say anything.  I trying to suggest that we will get better, but I think he was pretty upset about it.  No hard feelings, but the man was simply trying to shop with his wife and this annoying jerk starts making comments about his job---I get it.  I apologized, telling him that I was trying to be supportive and not critical--he did not think it was a big deal.  I'd see him at events from time to time-he'd wave or say hi, but it was awkward for me.  Figured I would say something stupid.  Jordan was pretty popular--nothing like she seems to be now--she is holding her own in a man's world...proud of her.
    • Like we have had the last 3 years.
    • In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit.
