Brees breaks Unitas' record - game replay is on

I was referring to "He was the best deep threat that we had under Payton". People let his jerky ways and the fact that he played during the worst stretch of SP's tenure cloud their judgment sometimes. He was definitely our best deep threat cuz he could take the top right off almost any secondary and if they stopped him it had to be via double teams which freed up other receivers. It's easy to just call Devery better because he played during the salad days. No knock on him either, he was very good for a while, but I think it's lunacy to act like he's noticeably better than Cooks. Cooks is an a-hole at times and gets injured a lot so yeah Dev may be a more attractive overall package but that's a little separate from judging raw attributes.
