Brees threw 19 interceptions in 2012 but he also threw 43 TDs. He threw for over 5000 yds without his head coach and under the guidance of an interim to the interim head coach who was also out for a half season. The GM was missing for about half a season also. Rodgers spent this year injured and Peyton Manning just lost his second out of three Super Bowls he has played in. Do we not count Peyton's post season failures or Rodgers' injuries but we count Drew's one "bad" season against him in determining if he is elite? Ask any team not named Seahawks, Patriots, or Broncos if they want to trade their QB for Drew and let's see how many of them suddenly think he is elite. Fourth place my sweet behind!
