how many people really think he will last 5 more years?

Isn't Peyton Manning 2 years older than him and just signed a 5 year deal?
I still don't understand where all this 2-3 years left in Drew Brees is coming from.

Manning signing a 5-year deal is one thing ... Manning playing out a 5-year deal is quite another ... not that I don't think Drew has more mileage left on him then Manning, just think Manning should have retired and Brees' is getting up there ... IDK if using Manning as a benchmark comparison to Brees really fits.

Average career length of a QB in the NFL that has played more than 1 year is 6.6 years.

Drew is going on 12.....

Only a handful of NFL quarterbacks have had 10+ year careers.
