Brees vs. Rodgers

All good points. I think Brees and Brady are doing something in the end of their careers that we have not seen or at least rarely seen. When you look a the whole picture from the impact each has on other players, football, their franchise, sports in general, appeal, and high level of play you have to realize these guys are doing something special.

Sure these guys have lost a step but you are seeing players and football analysts still pointing out that these guys in their 40's are the best in the league. Manning wasn't getting that in the end.

Which brings me back to the Brees/Rodgers comparison. Rodger gets so much media hype because of physical attributes and athleticism, but he misses on many other important factors. Brees gets it done with the attitude of "look what we did", Rodgers comes off as "look what I did". Maybe that's the better way to view their differences.

As a side note, (IMAO, Bret was a much better Packer. As a Saints fan I rooted for the Packers with Brett when the Saints were not in a SB run, and I root against the Packers with Aaron regardless).
