Imagine if Drew Brees played in this division in its current form, for nearly 20 years

This is essentially the luxury Tom Brady had that Brees didn’t.

To basically go into every year all but guaranteed a division title due mostly to divisional ineptitude spanning almost two decades was such a luxury.

Not to take away credit because those guys handled their business in the playoffs every year, but man it sure must have been nice to be all but assured a playoff home game, usually in round 2, virtually every year.

I mean, with a HOF level QB, you would LUCK your way into at least three championships over that span with those annual odds.
i've often wondered if the NFC South is so wonky bc the other three (and then TB got a cheat code with Brady) spent way too much time building teams to counter SP & Drew - that they never really established and identity of their own
