I believe all sportsmen these days are overpaid but if I could do what they do and get big bucks for it, then I would...however, I don't understand your term 'one-trick pony'. If you mean that all he is is a Quarterback and not a research scientist and singer/songwriter as well, the yes he is. But other than that, I don't get what you mean.
I am getting fed up of people belittling the accomplishments the man has made, though. 'It's easier these days as it's a Quarterback's league'. Really, well in that case why hasn't anyone else managed to achieve what he has? How long have Peyton Manning and Tom Brady been doing what they do, and they haven't managed it? No-one in NFL history has reached 30,000 yards quicker in 100 games than Brees has. Yeah, it's easier alright. That's why every Quarterback in the modern era has done it...sorry, no they haven't.

I read over my post and realized I was wrong about one thing, so I edited.

Originally I stated that nobody was belittling his accomplishments, but then I realized that by making the statement about the frequency of Brees' pass attempts he was in fact belittling to a certain degree.

My problem is that I agree with everything...even the part about how more likely someone who passes that often would be to break a record like that.

If you were a great QB and had Jim Brown in the backfield, I don't think you would be as likely to break the record...but that's going off on a tangent.

Brees' record is a great accomplishment, no doubt, no matter how many times he averages throwing per game. My big gripe with him is that he points out his stats and accomplishments too easily, and I never did care for the rah-rah stuff.

It is great relief to me to see that at least 1 other person...2 if you count Alaska ...sees it!!

Whether you think you can or think you can't...you're right!
