Noob question from a noob fan:
Seeing Drew Brees's record career stats, is there an argument to be made that he is one of the best QB of all time? Maybe the best?
I understand that stats arent everything. My father in law was telling me about a time when defenses were *much* tighter, so if someone would care explaining why i may be wrong/or at least subject to argumentation, i am open to learn ^_^
Unfortunately QBs are judged on rings. Brees will never get his just due in that regard, because Brady has 5 and Montana has 3 and Brees will be fortunate to end up with 2. But I think it's a great disservice when people say he doesn't even belong in the conversation.
Look at the gif below. How many QB's could throw it through one of these rings, much less two, much less when they're both moving?
I think it was that Sports Science show where he was more accurate than an Olympic archer that that had instrumentation put in the ball to measure velocity and launch angle. Every single one of his ten passes came at exactly a 6 degree launch angle off his hand, at exactly 52 miles per hour and a ball spin at 600 RPM and he hit the bullseye on all ten throws and 4 of the ten were dead center of the bullseye.
The same show as the gif, he's chucking footballs into a basketball goal on the Superdome floor while standing in the upper deck and skeet shooting by throwing footballs at the clays. I don't even know how that is possible. I think the guy is a Terminator sent from the future or something.
