BOOGER MCFARLAND

Look man, people have opinions that don’t jive with reality. When we are discussing who is the better quarterback and someone mentions an MVP award that is a freaking popularity contest??? Well, it gets tired and old after a while to be surrounded by people saying dumb things. Like how do you even argue with someone about that? They can’t separate “greatness as a player and part of a dynastic team” from “ability as a player,” conflating team with individual feats, and constantly injecting subjectivity where it doesn’t belong. I don’t care if McFarland is salty or just a network stooge but what he said and when he said it was classless and I don’t want to hear it because it ruins a precious moment.

If that ruined the moment for you then you are a little sensitive my friend. Someone else's opinion shouldn't matter that much.

I agree that MVP awards are a popularity contest and that Drew has been more than deserving of winning that award in the past. That being said, who cares really? The GOAT discussion is one that will never be a factual one. It's always just everybody's opinion. It's not a provable thing so I could care less if someone agrees with me that Drew is the GOAT. I'll point out my reasons why, but in the end it's all just our opinion.

So tell me. What was Booger to do? Say, "Drew Brees is the greatest quarterback to ever play the game!" simply because it's Drew's moment? The other guy in the booth asked a question and he responded. He gave Drew credit for his incredible accuracy, but stopped short of crowning him the GOAT. Put him in the same class as the majority of analyst who are finally arriving at a point where they are considering putting him in the top 5. He has never gotten the respect he deserves because his teams have not always been good. Not his fault, but QB's are paid the most money to win and they are judged by their ability to do so. In an effort to bring evidence into the case they look at things like Rings & MVP's. It's a faulty logic, but it's what the norm is.
