I'd take height. I think that would make him even more effective in the pocket.

I prefer him just the way he is. Being only 6' and not being recruited in his home state of Texas has built a huge fire inside of Brees to prove everyone wrong. If he was 6'5" maybe he doesn't prepare and strive for the perfection that he has right now. Brees is perfect the way he is.

I wouldn't change a thing! He's the freaking terminator!!!

If I could change anything about Brees I would change the fact that he went to Purdue and have him be a former SEC/BCS champion and Heisman winner who graduated from Ole Miss...

I'd take 1 inch taller and 0.2 seconds faster in the 40. Not much, but enough to make a difference when stretching for that sideline or peering over 6'6" DT's

I agree 100%. We are not talking about taking away what he already has and does, it's in "addition" to those. And I would bet the house that if you got him one on one and ask him he would tell you that he would love to have an extra inch or two to go along with everything thing else he has.

Again, we are not taking away any of his current abilities, work ethics, game knowledge, passed/current accomplishments, etc. from him, just adding one extra treat...BEST QB IN HISTORY!!!

Vick is only 6ft for anyone who doesn't know , they just don't say anything about it.

Hence, the reason he get's picked off constantly and beat the hell up. He would love to be taller as well...and right-handed.
