For years Thompson made the calls come draft day; at least they're smarter when it comes to delegation and division of authority within that organization... And that's really my pet peeve more than anything... |
Re: Unpopular Opinions: Drew Brees is most underrated player ever
I dare someone to find a listing that has Brees in the top 10 best qbs of all time. It doesn't exist.
Is Brees better than Favre? Of course, Brees has a 2.4% interception rate, Favre a gaudy 3.3%. End of discussion. Is Brees better than Elway? Of course he is. While Elway was a clutch performer late in games, statistically he was not elite even in his generation of Young, Montana and Marino. Not even close in fact. Is Brees better than Marino? That one is actually a closer call, but the edge still clearly goes to Brees. There are only 2 qbs clearly ahead of Brees, Brady and Montana and it all has to do with rings. What Brees will need to do is play another 4 seasons and get to 90,000 yards and 600 TDs and leave no doubt that he belongs in that 3rd spot. Win another Super Bowl and he immediately moves into the top 5. Brees has suffered from a lack of support from his teammates, and that sub 60% win rate is weighing him down. Half the seasons not making the playoffs, heavily weighing on his legacy as well. No fault of his own, but it counts against him in the pundits eyes. It's sad, but it's the way it is. I personally have him 3rd already. Destroy all the records and win a second SB and I'd personally have him #1. |
Re: Unpopular Opinions: Drew Brees is most underrated player ever
It will be criminal if Drew hangs up his cleats with only one Lombardi! I love Payton, but his yes man Loomis has let him run the program with free reign. Payton is a brilliant offensive strategist but he tinkers with all of our defenses and screws them up.

Loomis is just a yes man Payton meddles with the defense And all good draft picks are made by Ireland and all bad draft picks are made by Payton. Where does all that come from? I don't see anything like that on the national sports reports so I'm assuming it must be something local. |

Half of Drew's time here is non winning seasons, and that is totally unacceptable. Plus the playoff debacles vs the 49ers and Vikings (and Seahawks for that matter). What could have been had we invested in defense, special teams, kicking game, etc. But alas, Payton has been overly consumed with having his high flying offense on display and has largely paid the cost with heart wrenching losses due to terrible support for Brees. |

Payton has the 5th highest winning percentage of active coaches in the league @ .600. That's good for 35th in the 98 year history of the NFL. And 7 of the coaches ahead of him only coached for 5 years or less. Of the 4 active coaches with better overall records, only Belichick has a higher playoff winning percentage. *Min 50 games coached |

Ask who the Falcons thinks is the best and it has to be Brees.
