good. for 1 of them at least
Thought you meant Brett Favre, Mark Sanchez, Chad Pennington, Brooks Bollinger, Vinny Testaverde, and Ray Lucas
I disliked Brady because he was a NE Patriot and always seemed to get a flag thrown his way if he got touched for a Roughing the QB. We also had the Brady Rule for everything else that would fall in his favor. The one QB I disliked the most to this day is Peyton Manning. He could have gone to the Jets or could have given us a haul of Draft picks in a trade, but he decided to stay in school 1 more year because he did not want to be drafted by the Jets.

oh, not a Drew Brees fan then ? (he-he)
How much has a roof over his head helped Drew Brees? Here are the numbers
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees broke the all-time passing touchdown record on Monday Night Football, eclipsing Peyton Manning’s previous mark of 539. There’s no denying Brees…
www.nydailynews.com
I bet you're wrong. He isn't the same QB outside. As a Penny fan, i wanted him to go to Minny to play indoors 9 games per year for the same reason Brees went to NO.
From the article:
"In regular-season and postseason games played indoors/with the roof closed, overs are 82-61-2 (57.3%) in Saints games with Brees at quarterback.
On the other hand, totals are basically split 42-41 (50.6%) when playing outdoors. While the overall record is close to 50/50, Saints outdoor games have fallen under the closing total more regularly as Brees has aged."
show me the stat for Brees not playing under Payton if he stayed in SD.
was it when he retired ?
Or actually when he left us to go to the Rams ?

That’s my saddest day
-in My Jet history anyway .
Ps;
Blanda was one tuff ass QB/kicker wasn’t he?
BTW...you are a stat manipulator.
as a Bolt QB, he went 35-15 in outside games.
as a Saint QB, after the shoulder was put back together, his record outside was 42-41.
see the drop off?
you padded his overall numbers to minimize Rivers' stature in comparison by using his SD numbers which occurred before the injury. Post injury, he's a 50-50 Outside QB.
TY!
BTW... my kid had a version of Madden where he chose Blanda as his Jet's QB. UN...FEAKIN'...DEFEATED!!!!
I like Brees a lot! But you completely gloss over the fact that he had a major injury to his throwing shoulder on his last play as a Bolt.
He was never the same QB outside, and your almighty stats prove it...if you look at them pre and post injury.
to not do so is a manipulation of stats.
Furthermore, you completely belittle Payton's role in the resurrection of Brees's career.
it'll take more time than to copy and paste stats, so you actually have to watch games to see Payton created an offense for Brees.
watch his greatest games, and there are many...see just how few times Brees was required to fit balls into tight windows, and how few times he had to throw outside the numbers.
I am no Brees hater. But he went to the right place at the right time to be what he became.

Think it was 2005-06 he was available ?
I wanted us to get him , but if you remember he was damaged and everyone was afraid.
I often wonder how that would have turned out?
Chad was at the end for us another year after that
A lot of guys loved him I wasn’t a big fan
Oh well
Your right though, he went to the right place at the right time
Probably would have stunk with us .
the fact is that his team, and QBs get the win/loss record, were 1 game over 500 outdoors while he was a Saint.
I don't have the time to do 83 game sheets to prove my point.
nobody is saying that Brees didn't play well in those games, or at least played well in most of them.
what i am saying is that Brees had the ability to win more games indoors as he outpaced the scoring of the opposing team while he could not do so outdoors as a Saint.
The Bolts had a great run with Rivers.
I don't think they have that run with Brees...Payton wasn't there to create an offense for him, and He couldn't outscore opponents outdoor the way he did indoor after his shoulder injury. All of your stats don't diffuse that.

Yup... even Miami passed on him to get Dante Culpepper. He and Chad had mirror injuries...Chad a few years prior.
i always wondered it Chad could have done what Brees did if he went to NO?
a.) QB's, and especially very good ones, can run up stats in losses. so for Brees to have HOF stats, but a 42-41 outdoor record as a Saint isn't noteworthy.
b.) Ask the '82 Jets if there is no difference in playing out doors. Don Shula and AJ Duhe are laughing their asses off about a certain game.
c.) you're making a straw man argument. nobody derided Brees's creds. I just said that the fans in SD might not have jettisoned Rivers over Brees.
Blanda holds the following professional football records:
- Passing touchdowns in a game: 7 (Tied with 7 others[13]) November 19, 1961 vs. New York Titans[14]
- Most seasons played: 26 (1949–58, 1960–75)
- Most seasons scoring a point: 26
- One of two players to play in 4 different decades. Blanda played in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and John Carney, who played in the 80s, 90s, 2000s and 2010s
- Most PATs made (943) and attempted (959)
- Most interceptions thrown, single season: 42 (1962)
- Held record of most pass attempts in a single game: 68 (37 completions, vs. Buffalo Bills on January 11, 1964) until 1994 when Drew Bledsoe had 70
- Oldest player to play in an NFL game: 48 years, 109 days
- First player ever to score over 2,000 points
- Oldest quarterback to start a title game - Broken by Tom Brady
- Most total points accounted for (including touchdown passes) in a career: 3,418 (not an official stat) - broken by Drew Brees and Tom Brady
And the best part was, supposed NFL genius George Halas cut him because he couldn't play linebacker. (And it took over 30 years for him to find Jim McMahon in 1982.)
Let's hear it for us old guys!
