Wade Phillips Considers Drew Brees NFL's 'All-Time Best Passer,' Thinks 'the World of Him'

08-24-2012, 02:26 PM

Maybe it was a slip of the tongue. Maybe Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips defines the term "passer" a little differently than most. Or maybe Phillips is just jealous of what Saints fans have down in New Orleans.

Whatever the case may be, Phillips' confidence in Drew Brees goes beyond that of probably even the most loyal fan.

"You're going against the all-time best passer in the history of football," Phillips said of Brees, regarding the Texans' upcoming preseason game against the Saints. "That's going to be a big challenge, plus they've got a great offense. They were at the top of the league offensively, obviously. We expect a tough task, but we'll see how ready we are."

Wade knows whats up....he had to sit and watch Brees carve up his defenses (which are always good btw) several times. LOL.

But seriously tho...I respect the heck out of Wade Phillips. Got ran out of Dallas but the other guy isn't fairing much better. He could have been a great coach if Jerruh wasn't such a egotistical control freak and let him run him run the team.

Gotta respect wade Phillips

He turned a 31st ranked texans defense into the number 2 defense in the league, which drew methodically carved up but that's beside the point

I completely agree with Wade Phillips. Drew Brees is THE REASON I became a Saints fan in the first place! He is the best quarterback of all time in my humble opinion.

Drew carves up everybody, except Spags and the Rams

I agree with Wade.

Most yards in one season ever
Most accurate passer over a season ever

And they were the same season.

I'm more than happy that we have Spags, I'd keep Spags even if we had the option...

Meh... I smell a smokescreen from Wade!

Translation of his remark: "We locker room material about #9 everywhere, and he's the focus of our gameplan. We're gonna get after him early and often, force him to get happy feet and throw picks, and leave the dome with a decisive victory."

Let's see what happens.

i've always liked Wade. No much of a head coach, Great defensvie coach, and Drew Brees fan. Give that man a beer, or the whole Six pack.
