Was looking at some Aaron Brooks stats because he was brought up in another thread which led me to looking at Saints franchise records.

In order to earn his Superbowl Victory Brees had to beat 3 first Ballot HOF QBs. Two of em Favre and Manning were the two most prolific passers of all time until recently.

It will be cool to see what other tidbits or factoids others will come up with.

He beat the living hell out of the Brady led Pats in the dome that year, as well.

In 2009, Brees and the Saints beat 4 of the top 10 all time QBs.

That really puts things into perspective.

I was amazed to find out his throwing accuracy clobbers the world's best archers

I remember I was working up in Packer country that year. My hangout of choice was a big Sunday football spot. I got to know the owner and he laughed so hard when I told him the Saints were going to win the Super Bowl. He was like “they are doing well, but they are the Saints”

He was also a serious gambler and had a huge parlay that was going to make or break his week. The Saints were about to win, but they weren’t going to cover. I told him, with the confidence provided by Jagermeister, that he needed faith in the Saints.Just a second or two later, we picked off a pass on the sideline for a pick 6 and covered for him.

Made a believer out of him lol.

Drew Brees had his best 4 game stretch of his entire career at the end of the 2019 season, only 11 days removed from his 41st birthday.

15 TDs, 0 Int, 75+% completion, 8.6 ypa, 137.0 QB Rating

But I thought he is too old? I’m so confused now!!!

12 times a quarterback has thrown for over 5,000 yards in a season. Drew has done it 5 times no other quarterback has done it more than once

In terms of 2009 season beat downs, I still cherish the face of Tom Brady as he stared obvious and undeniable defeat in the face.

38-17

Drew had more touchdowns than interceptions that game. 21-26 passing with 5 touchdowns. I remember that game so well and it was a prime example of the media’s treatment of the saints. All week it was billed as the superdome show down and after we destroyed New England, next day on ESPN, nothing on the front page . Shout out to the predator mike McKenzie and Chris mccallister for signing off the street and helping out for a few games. Mike even got a pick that game. Chris also forced a very crucial albeit controversial fumble to help us on the Washington game that year

If yall want to relive that one and have about 22 minutes to spare I just did and it was still amazing...

There's another picture I can't find any more (or maybe I just remember it so vividly from the broadcast), of Brady sat on the bench when the game is clearly out of reach. And we're not talking late in the fourth.

It. Was. Beautiful.
