And Father Time is unbeaten.

Then so is Payton and Brady. We don't have to worry about that for at least 3 more seasons. Plenty of time for us to find an Aaron Rodgers for Drew and Payton to groom in the same fashion. I see Brees having a Farve type career as far as longevity. With the right team around him he could play at a high level until about 40.

Funny to read some of the comments being made here. About 3-4 weeks ago people were mentioned he's 33 and has about 2 years left...

Besides, I've seen Father Time play...can't read defenses, has poor accuracy and no leadership skills. So I will take Drew Brees over him any day.

Not worried about right now... but I am concerned when he will be 39 and have a cap hit of over $20M. Until then let's enjoy the best in the business.

I, myself, personally said the same thing about elway years ago

Then he won two super bowls

He's owed at least two retirements; like Brett!

Brees has beaten everyone else. Next up: Father Time.

The clock ticks a little faster every time he gets knocked on his butt...
