Drew Brees: Most Valuable Loser (2009 Edition.)

[Nukleopatra]

Each day I will list a quarterback that's better than Drew Brees, since Drew Brees first entered the NFL back in 2001.

One quarterback per day.

Rich Gannon: One of the most pathetic pieces of human waste in sports history. Also one of my personal top 5 most hated NFL Quarterbacks/Human beings.

Career Record: 76 - 56.
Post Season Victories: 5.
Super Bowl Appearances: 1.
Super Bowl Victories: 0.

He was an average quarterback with an average skill set, but he managed to win football games with what he had. I wouldn't spit in the guys direction, but Rich Gannon will always have the pleasure of being.... better than Drew Brees.

Quick question. Did Drew Brees break into your house and beat you when you were a child? You have a pretty healthy hate for him. I don't think i've seen anyone go through so much trouble to show their hate for a QB, gotta be an interesting backstory to this.

 

[Gonzo]

Ch'mon cleatus. Answer me.

I'll show you crew-cut mister. This is the internetz

 

[The Messenger]

This will be epic judging from the Gannon one.

In an effort to get more information and flow in this thread I present an argument that is sure to come eventually.

Drew Brees isn't surrounded with the right "crew" to succeed. Bush is a bust and McCallister is a bum. Colston was injured most of the year and a few of the bright sports [Vilma, Moore, Brees] isn't enough to get this team to the playoffs. The argument about Brees sucking is null due mainly to the fact that Brees supplied All-Pro numbers while on a bad team. This is the exact argument used against Peyton consistently. He's 7-8 in the playoffs, does that make him a bad quarterback? Or does that make his supporting cast better?

Let me ask you how many times you've actually watched Brees? Have you seen him in a real game, in real life? His mechanics are excellent, and he's got excellent instincts in the pocket.

You say Brees isn't a great quarterback. I say he doesn't have a great supporting cast.

Anyone can pull NFL statistics, and since statistics apparently mean everything, he's a horrible quarterback. Would you say the same thing about Peyton Manning, or Donovan McNabb?

For the record, I'm not a Brees fan, he's a Boilermaker, it's in my blood to hate him. On the contrary however, I will admit he's a great quarterback, just like I'll readily admit that Brady is a fantastic quarterback [I'm a Colts fan, therefore, Brady sucks cock, like any Blue Crew guy].

my dear friend gonzo, logic is not used when talking to nuke, he only uynderstands basic things. like fuck you and I know you are but what am I. your post was well thought out and even better in it's presentation, but it is sad to say it has been wasted, like silk on a pig.

I actually think that Brees has an exceedingly healthy Ego. He's not one of those "we're all equal" types. Not sure where you got that impression. To me the real problem with Brees is he's a bit of a phony baloney type. His confidence (at least the depth to which he portrays it) is false. I don't think he really believes in himself at the end of the day.

One time he hired a trainer in the offseason when he was here in San Diego, subsequently had a good year partly because he was on better shape than before. When it got out that he had hired this particular trainer he was PISSED. Didn't want anybody other than himself getting credit. I think he does all the charity shit for his image.

You can't be one of the top 32 guys at something on Earth and not have a healthy ego.

I completely agree about his confidence issue. That's been questioned by a few of the so called ''experts.'' You can almost tell by looking at his face during his late game ''mishaps.''

Nice info by the way.

How is that nice info?
It's speculative.
Where do you get your news - www.perezhilton.com?

I'm sorry, but you deserve a groan for that.

 

[Nukleopatra]

It's speculative.

I was assuming it was a fact.

It's my first time hearing about it, too.

You deserve a groan, for not groaning the person who actually posted the info.

 

[dave]

I was assuming it was a fact.

It's my first time hearing about it, too.

Then why groan at me as a revenge rep?

I groaned at you for being a stupid putz who took Hellisan at his word over his speculation.

You groaned at me for asking you not to applaud Hellisan's Perez Hilton-style reporting.

Retract my groan, you fraud.

Sidenote: About to groan at Hellisan.

 

[dave]

I groan you for supporting a fraud, who goes by the name: Drew Brees.

I should groan Rush for making me use the word ''groan.''

Who says I was supporting Brees?
I was groaning you for accepting Hellisan's face read.
Retract the groan, Brenda Warner.

 

[Nukleopatra]

Who says I was supporting Brees?
.

Done.

For that reason alone.

 

[dave]

Be honest. You only retracted the groan because I called you Brenda Warner.

Everyone that has come over from MM is well aware of this kind of stuff from Nuk.

And it appears that the VSN'ers have quickly caught on as well, as this thread has gone absolutely nowhere so far.

I think you won, Nuk. Nobody cares to argue with you anymore. I think it's time to find something else that pisses you off and see if you can bait people into arguing with you about it.

 

[chubbz]

i think im the guy who posted the drew brees stuff in the first place. so here we go....
all im sayin is that the only times kurt warner has been succesful is when hes had the best reciever tandems in the league. he was just in the right place at the right time. wat did he do in ny? how about after the sb year? warner's just a guy who needs elite recievers to do well like manning and romo. brees doesnt seem to need that. my point from the start is like u said he does the most w the least. i said screw the w-l record. im talkin pure talent. its not hard to chuck it up to larry on a go route and have him moss two ppl. hell u saw brees do it in the pro bowl! any qb that was a back up will never be too great in my eyes. i guess im just stubborn. and dont post steve young he was a right time right place qb too. im sure brees will reach the playoffs next year and then we will c wat happens.
p.s. rich gannon lol

 

[Nukleopatra]

Got the first quarterback in a bit late, so I'll throw another up now.

Quarterbacks better than Drew Brees, since Drew's arrival in 2001.

02-26-09: 4:20pm.

Steve ''Air'' McNair: ''The Warrior.'' The media will have you know that Steve is quite possibly the only injury prone sack of shit, to ever play through pain. But it's not true. Plenty of NFL players do. Another one of my most hated NFL figures.

Career Record: 91 - 62.
Post Season Victories: 5.
Super bowl Appearances: 1.
Super bowl Victories: 0.

Steve McNair: He'll be remembered to most as a ''hero.'' But to me, he'll be remembered as the quarterback who was clearly over his head during the biggest game of his career, when he threw the ball five yards short of the endzone, forcing his wide out to make a nearly impossibly play against one of the faster defenses in the game. I can't help but to think: What if a smarter quarterback had to make that throw? It would have been in the endzone. No, Steve McNair will never know the glory of winning a super bowl, so Steve will have to settle for being.... better than Drew Brees.

 

[FirstTimer]

Better QB... Jim McMahon or Drew Brees?

 

[Nukleopatra]

Good one.

Better record, more post season victories.. but complete shit player.

Damn you. Go back to Madden Mania.

 

[FirstTimer]

Drew Brees or Sid Luckman?

 

[chubbz]

it seems like ur whole thing is off playoff wins. y dont u go more off of td to int ratio or just his numbers period. most guys just ride there defenses or running games to those playoff victories. look at trent dilfer.........
