Kirby Jackson Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 The most underrated player of his generation is now the all-time leading passer!!

Kelly the Dog Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 It's incredible that he is still somewhat underrated. He's also made stars out of about ten different WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a thing the other day that if Andrew Luck has 10 straight 5,000 yard seasons, keep in mind there have been 9 such seasons in NFL history (5 of which belong to Brees), he still won’t catch him. Luck would be 39 at that point!! Also, Brees isn’t done yet. He’s going to get to 80,000+ yards. That’s the equivalent of 16 5,000 yard seasons. I don’t think we ever see anyone beat that mark.

Brady won’t catch him. Brady is 2 years older and Brees opens the gap a little each year. He might not be done with 5,000 yard seasons yet. I think that he has AT LEAST 3 years left. I’m not sure that Brady will hang that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills7834 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) I put him up there with Barry Sanders as one of my all time favorite non-Bills players. I was fortunate to meet him in 2008 when I was in Iraq. He was as down to earth as they come. We talked about 10 minutes or so. I told him that he was going to win the Superbowl in his career and he did 2 years later. I met the DE for the Giants the same day. The one with the difficult name. I told him I was so happy they beat the Patriots a few months earlier. He asked me if I was a Giants fan. I told him no I just hate the f-ing Patriots. He replied we all f-ing hate the Patriots. Sorry to kind of go off topic. Him reaching this milestone brought back this great memory. Edited October 9, 2018 by bills7834 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think he'd belong in that category He’s going to finish his career with the most yards, the most completions, MAYBE the most TDs (at worst 2nd most), and the highest single season completion percentage. It is VERY rare that you hear him in the discussion as the best ever. He belongs in the conversation. He has always been considered below Manning, Brady and Rodgers. I’m not sure that he belongs a tier below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said I was just taking a shot without actually looking at any stats when I threw Rodgers name out there, but I had no idea he was that far behind him. What Brees has accomplished in his career is really mind-blowing when you think about it especially because of the way he has gone under the radar due to the huge spotlight on Brady and Manning during his era. I think this record will be pretty safe for a LONG time knowing that Rodgers has no shot chasing it down and there really isn't anybody else out there I can even think of that I would be worried about catching it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAT QBs make these guys much better than they are. Rodgers can't be in the GOAT at this point in his career. One of the best playing now? Sure. GOAT?
