Revealing stat about Brees ... but you probably knew this instinctively. (1 Viewer)

Brees is the best QB in the history of the game. It isn't even close and every statistic tells you the same thing over and over again.

Brady will go down in history as the best football player to ever play and he has the Saints defense and a few refs to thank for it.

We really did waste a HOF career. The man couldn't do much more. Yes we got the 1 SB but it could have easily been 3-4 with a better defensive team in many of those years. It will again keep us from the promised land.

It could also very easily have been 0 Super Bowls.

You should be sending Adrian Peterson an Xmas card every year. And the flip of a coin also could have gone the other way. The Vikings think of that game the way we think of the 49ers game in 2011.

What it could've been if saints fielded consistent and competent defense during Brees' career.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Someone has to send that to Coach Payton and Dennis Allen, if we can all see this then why does it keep happening?

This is why I am the way that I am.

Does that make your parents happy or sad?

Yep. It's a shame. We have wasted his career because of bad defense.

Lock this thread. It's way too depressing. J/K

I seriously doubt that Drew would consider his career wasted. Sure, the defense has let him down more than they've helped him over his time here, but he also took the team that was historically the laughing stock of the league and turned them into yearly contenders. He will forever be immortalized in New Orleans in ways that are even bigger than just the Saints. Remember the article a few years ago about how violent crime drops drastically on the day the Saints win a game compared to a loss or any other day? I doubt many, if any, quarterbacks have THAT stat on their resumé.
