Brees is the best athlete under pressure as a QB. I think were most get confused is the running ability of some QB's like Rodger,vick, Tebow , and etc.. but running QB's rarely win you games. The job of a QB is to find the open man down field, and keep the play alive under pressure until he does.

Brees uses his athleticism to stay alive with subtle moves, stiff arming DL, or out thinking them. He also has a second sight no one can explain.

How can we prove this ,, glad you ask, easy

"No quarterback (including Aaron Rodgers for once) has a better accuracy mark for passes thrown under pressure this season. When Brees is pressured, he is hitting his intended target on 67.3 percent of his passes. Rodgers heads the trailing pack at 66 percent and only seven other quarterbacks top the 60-percent mark.

The mark of a great quarterback is often how he can perform under pressure, with the walls closing in around him. When you squeeze quarterbacks, most fold, but a rare few find a way to focus. Brees is one of those few.

It’s worth noting that Brees also faces pressure a lot more than Rodgers, with 127 of his 450 drop-backs resulting in pressure. Rodgers has felt heat on just 89 of his 348 drops."

... and when you consider that Rodgers is getting sacked more than Brees with only 89 pressures, it becomes very apparent that Brees is the better athlete in the pocket.
