Drew Brees is a Golden God. Okay, a Black-and-Golden God. He enters Week 9 of the NFL season with an all-time record of 72,435 passing yards. And his 502 passing touchdowns are just 38 behind all-time leader Peyton Manning. With every completion, he breaks another record. His passing is like nothing seen before—innovative, aggressive, swaggering, rousing and raucous. He drives his fans into an orgasmic ecstasy. But outside of the screaming masses, Brees leaves many others cold, believing his records lack substance and his greatness is vastly overstated.

Despite his smashing success, Brees is never lifted above his current and former contemporaries. Tom Brady is The Beatles of quarterbacks. But in the debate of greatness, The Rolling Stones is not Brees but Peyton Manning. Most people are Brady people. There are some Peyton people. Brees is not even referenced in the debate. So if quarterbacks were rock icons, Brees is Led Zeppelin.
