Went back and re-read the thread. The general response is that the original article is weak and has poor conclusions from poor cherry picked stats. It focuses on Brees' stature or lack thereof to diminish his accomplishments. I'll stand by my claim that Brees would be elite in any system. Maybe not record-breaking, but elite nonetheless. That's my opinion.
And the "deification of Brees" comments are coming from you and your interpretation of the replies.
