Re: Putting Brees in perspective

Stupid link...

Tolliver 249-466 (53.4%) 3,343 yards 15 TDs 20 INTs
Hobert 157-313 (50.2%) 2,031 yards 13 TDs 14 INTs

So yes, Drew has had more than the Billy Joes combined IN ONE SEASON for:

Passing yards 5,476 vs 5,374
Completions: 468 vs 406
TDs: 46 vs 28
Comp %: 71.2% vs 52.1%

I feel the same way. I've gotten over it mostly and enjoy his antics as the completely over-the-top homer radio guy, but I still see choke job against the Eagles in my dreams. And then him doing the airplane around the Superdome in a FALCONS uniform really cut deep. Can't forgive that.

3,050 completions in 4,541 attempts (67.2%)
35,303 yards
256 TDs and 116 INTs

Archie + Bobbie:

2,917 completions in 5,390 attempts (54.1%)
36,364 yards
200 TDs and 231 INTs

ok this started out with nothing to do with the hall of fame.

then no one can hold a candle to Drew.

that's when i stepped in and said "wait one minute"

now peps are going to the hall as a measuring stick. The hall is a glorified resting home for some of the greats in the game.

But every fan base in every city know there are a couple of players that deserve the same honor as those in hall but will never get it. Why because of the national media required.

Now if you want what made the two so different stat wise.

John W. Mecom, Jr loved the playboy lifestyle of being a NFL owner. Not winning

Benson came in to win.

That is the true difference in the two.
