15 TD passes to go for Brees to become all time leader

Favre was also a mobile QB back in his prime and he took some punishment for that.

I think what kept Favre going was that he still had a rocket arm and most of his arm strength in his older years. Favre was throwing bombs in 2007, 2008 and 2009 when he was thought to be regressing. His 2009 campaign was one of his best career seasons.

Manning started to lose his arm in 2013. A lot of people don't realize that cause they look at his stats from 2013 and how he broke all the records, but watch tape and you can see where he threw some ugly passes that year.

I have long argued that 2012 was really the best year for Manning and those Broncos teams. He wins MVP that year if not for Adrian Peterson. Denver most likely reaches the SB if they don't give up that Flacco hail mary pass and I have no doubt, they would've beat a banged up injury riddled Pats team, then handled business against the 49ers in the SB.

The big drop off though came at the end of 2014 when his stats just tanked. Brees had a similar decline at the end of last year when his stats dropped to the floor, which raised some serious concerns. Going into 2015, everyone just assumed Manning would be OK and then they got a brutal wake up call early on with how bad his arm had declined.

I don't see Brees or Brady playing until they are 45. Brady is DONE this year but he'll probably still break the TD pass by throwing 3-5 yard dink and dunks where the receiver goes 10-15 yards.

Sorry, but it didn't raise any serious concerns for me. Brees' statistical decline last season coincided with the injuries to the offensive line.

And I have no doubt that Brees can continue to perform at a high level until the age of 45. He may not choose to keep playing that long IF he no longer enjoys the game to the degree that he obviously does at this point in time. But, there is no way he quits until he has those career records locked up ... in other words ... AFTER Brady retires.
