Peyton Manning knows it's not a matter of "if" New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will break his NFL record for career passing yards.
"It's just a matter of when," Manning told NOLA.com on Friday during the Manning Passing Academy in Thibodaux, Louisiana. "He deserves it. He's been a great player for a long time," said Manning, who first met Brees in 1998 when he was a rookie with the Indianapolis Colts and Brees was playing nearby at Purdue. "Obviously, he's just been the ultimate pro, taking care of himself, being in great shape. Credit to him for playing as long as he has at such a high level," Manning continued. "He's just been a great model of consistency, what he and Sean [Payton] have been able to do together for [12] years now." read more from Triplett |

Just imagine the numbers he would have put up if he played his entire career with Sean Payton!
Before he came to New Orleans he was just average and that was why the Chargers drafted Phillip Rivers. |

A contemporary who beat him in the Super Bowl and will beat his records. No question about who is better quarterback. Tommy who?

Not to take anything away from Phillip because he's been extremely good (13+ years later) in San Diego , however he has yet to deliver that coveted Lombardi trophy we have with Brees in NOLA . |
