I honestly don't think Brees is ever going to get the props he deserves from the "outside world" until after he has hung up the cleats. I don't even think about what they think of him anymore. I genuinely don't care.

Here's the thing I decided about it. Rodgers, Brady, Manning,those "elite" cats -- really if you look at it, all of these guys were celebrated and hyped at the very START of their careers -- first year or two they were starting QB, they were getting the big headlines. So that way, people in the media feel like they can take CREDIT for picking Peyton or Rodgers or Eli or Brady, to be superstars, "I always knew this kid was gonna be something special." But Brees has this thing where the media wrote him off in San Diego, sorta washed their hands of him, and he surprised everybody by coming back stronger -- he sorta wasn't supposed to do all this. That wasn't the storyline that was supposed to happen with him, the media never saw it coming with him OR with Sean Payton. So my theory is that they will never come around on Brees, until Hall Of Fame time or after his career is over.
