I don’t think Brees would have stayed in the game just to stay in front of Brady, numbers-wise.
But with Brady coming into the division, it feels like things got a little more “real.” Brees is one of those greats whose work ethic is always at a high level. But when he gets a little extra juice, watch out. And things just got a little more real.
Just a gut feeling. But I think Brees will play a) as long as Brady is in his division or b) until he wins a Super Bowl WITH Brady in his division.
