NFL records

Brees holds numerous NFL records including: the most consecutive 4,000 yard passing seasons (10), highest completion percentage in a season (71.2%), most 300+ yard passing games in a season (13), most consecutive games with 300+ yards passing (9), most completions in a season (468) and holds the record for most consecutive games with at least 1 touchdown pass (54), surpassing Johnny Unitas' record of 47 straight games with a touchdown pass, a record which stood for 52 years.[96]

Since joining the Saints, he has led all NFL quarterbacks in: total passing yards six times (three of those over 5,000 yards), thrice in completion percentage, once in passer rating, and four times in touchdown passes.[97] Brees has the 4th in most career passing yards and tied for 3rd in most career TD passes all-time with Tom Brady in NFL history, behind Brett Favre and Peyton Manning. Dan Marino is 3rd on passing yards.[98][99]

Forget Roethlisberger. The fact that Brees is #30 and Geno Smith is at #29 tells me how much of a joke this list is.


Ben Roethlisberger vs. Drew Brees: Bigger slight in 'Top 100' QB rankings? - NFL.com

I think everyone needs to see this list for what it is: frivolous off season entertainment that is flawed at quite a few levels:

First and foremost is trying to predict a future outcome based on past information. You can see this in this 30-21 group with Fitzgerald and Marshall. Does anyone really think that they have improved 30-40+ slots over a single year? No. They had good years last year so the projection is that they'll have good years next year.

Second is the flawed matching of team and individual performances. There are 5 QBs higher on the list than Brees because none of those QBs were on 7-9 teams.

Finally it's Geno Atkins, not Geno Smith.

Mark my words: the Saints go 12-4, deep into the playoffs, with Brees having an outstanding season, then next year he'll be in the top 5 on that list. Even if the stats are fundamentally the same.

And this is why the frivolous off-season entertainment is a joke.
