When you watch Mahomes and Brees play, is there a single part of you that would honestly rather have Brees as our QB?
Conversely, if you’re a defense, which QB would you rather face?
PFF is incredibly flawed in this respect. It can’t properly quantify the deficiencies in Brees‘ game at this point in his career vs. the impact Mahomes has on how an entire defense prepares for him.
All I know is that Brees does what he does without the holy trifecta of Hill, Kelce, and Watkins Just like people rarely bring up that Manning played with 3 HOFers for most of his career on Offense in Harrison, Wayne and James.
Brees has topped Mahomes in QB Rating and Completion percentage both years that Mahomes has started and its not just dink and dunk either.
Look at this PFF study breakdown
He was the only QB mentioned in all three throwing ranges as a top QB in 2018.
"The winner of PFF's top passer award, it comes as no surprise to see that Drew Brees is the only signal-caller whose name appears three times in this study. Brees earned an accurate designation on 73.8% on his short pass attempts last year, and 19.6% of those throws earned the “accuracy plus” tag"
