At 40 he will still mostly likely be better fit than players ten years younger ten years earlier.

Brees has repeatedly said he plans to still be playing at a high level well into his forties, and there is nothing that he has said or done that would make me not believe in that prediction.

A very fair point. Training methods and nutrition has improved so much the last 10-20 years.

If you notice... the old Brees from 20 years ago would look like Al Bundy.
