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.

    • Lions were never going Freeling over Miller for the same reason we wouldn't have taken Miller had Freeling not been on the board. Miller is a career RT Lions have a hole at RT, we have a hole at LT. If we took Miller, it would have been for him to backup Moton until he retires and/or we release him, so the best case scenario is it would have been a wasted 1st round pick for at least 1, if not 2 years.  At least Freeling has a shot at playing this year without injury ahead of him, he absolutely can win the LT job if he earns it, but Miller would have never supplanted Moton this year unless he got hurt.
    • What up y’all. I like threads like this where we can stroll down memory lane. I remember the insane amount of site traffic pre-crash when we signed Keyshawn Johnson, 06 I believe. Raging about the Cowboys Christmas Eve loss in 05 (Peppers touched that FG attempt as sure as Cotchery caught it). When I found the huddle I basically had a first born baby, now I’ve got one in college and one in high school. Life comes at you fast, but the Panthers and the Huddle has been a steady constant in my life for many years.  Those who have been here, y’all are cool with me any time any where.    Cheers, genitals!
    • This is a weird post since it wasn’t like we got A’s across the board. We needed a QB and got a consensus top 2 player at that position. (I was pretty vocal that Stroud should’ve been the guy but…)  I think this draft we generally got better value. I’m not particularly optimistic on BY but another year in this offense playing with TMac he really needs to be a consistently average QB at a minimum
