Is Drew Brees now a potential Hall of Famer?

[Blade]

L O L.

No shit? I wouldn't have guessed after watching his long ass, overrated, yet somewhat amusing ass career. It was like watching some black guy tossing up some of the most inaccurate shit passes, hoping to eventually hit something. The only thing that could have made it more amusing, if he had to throw the ball to Art Monk.

Warren Moon got in because they had no choice.

You are missing my point. The HOF fame goes by your stats at the end of your career 8 out of 10 times. At the time Moon was 3rd at the time, they had no choice.

Ken Stable was a NFL MVP and won Super Bowls, yet he's not mentioned. He's 45th in career passing yards.

Brees may well replace Moon at the end of his career, but he needs to be in the Top 25 for the HoF to be mentioned. I don't like the way the HoF does it either, I think its a joke, but hey I am not on the committee.

I am just pointing out that winning The Game and MVP isn't they only thing they look at.

Would you guys put Ben Roethlisberger in the HoF?

Just wondering...

Brees has 8 Full-ish seasons in the NFL. 6 of which are considered good seasons. 1 SuperBowl.

Roethlisberger has 6 Full Seasons in the NFL. 4 of which are considered good seasons. 2 Super Bowl wins.



Point I guess I'm trying to make is the HoF is the Hall of Fame Not the Hall of Really Good. We can't throw every Quarterback who wins a SB in the Hall.

In my opinion there are only 3 Quarterbacks in the league right now that really deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.

Peyton Manning - The GOAT
Brett Favre - The Stats holder
Tom Brady - 3 Super Bowls, and put up the greatest season in the history of football.

Mannings was better

Good post. Accurate, and with a hidden meaning, which I agree with...

Warren Moon does indeed suck.

Maybe he's not really that good of a QB, but Moon did pass for more than 3500 yards 6x in his career and 4x more than 4000 yards on Oilers teams with some shitty ass defenses.

Yea his record blows in the playoffs, but he went up against that crazy Bills comeback one season and got taken out by Montana led Chiefs the second year. The other times he was taking on Elway. Thats some stiff competition man.

 

[FedEx227]

Way too quick to put QB's in the HoF nowadays for winning SB's.

It's a fucking team sport for crying out loud.

Yeah... Brees has been pretty dominant in his career, but IMO he's nowhere close to the Hall of Fame.

Wildcat with the well-thought out logical answer. Bravo sir.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Definitely.. just the feat of KOing 3 HOF QBs alone on route to the ship.. plus the season passing record (which now means more cause he actually has proven he can win), an MVP would be nice to top it off, but IMO hes still a HOFer.

 

[NAHSTE]

I say yes, and not just as a Saints fan. His career was deemed over after the shoulder injury. He helped rebuild a team that was at the bottom. He's been awesome in New Orleans. Now, he has a Super Bowl ring. MVP may be needed, yes. But he's got a few years to reach that yet. Brees definitely adds his name to the mix, though.

Dude, we're talking about the Hall of Fame not the Comeback Player of the Year Award.

Whether or not he's a HOFer, his shoulder injury has little to do with his resume.

I think he is if he continues to produce at a top 3 level like this.

 

[Liquidrob]

The thread title says 'is now a potential HOFer', not should he be in it tomorrow

 

[DaaBoTownSox]

Drew Brees is an elite QB.
He now has a Super Bowl...and that is numero uno criteria and gives you a key to the door.

What say VSN?

I say he needs atleast 1 more SB win, and maybe an MVP.

 

[Gonzo]

The citizens of New Orleans have had little to look forward to since Katrina ripped through this state...Towns, Farms, and Schools lie in shambles across the state to this day, while the rest of the country bats a blind eye to the situation. The entire state is pulling for the Saints because its the only bright spot they've had in years, and its brought the community together in ways one would never have imagined.

And its because of Breesus.

No matter what happens New Orleans is still the dirtiest city in the US and will consistently smell like pee.

 

[FedEx227]

why would he need MVP? didnt he just win a Superbowl MVP which is so much better..

Is it?

I'd say dominance over a 16-game period means a lot more than 1 game.

You can have Ottis Anderson, Larry Brown and Desmond Howard. I'll take Randall Cunningham and Brett Favre and

If he retired tomorrow? No...he'd be sitting in Ken Stabler, Phil Simms territory when we look back at history. One more Super Bowl or even an MVP or even a long career with lots of success and he is a SHOE IN.

 

[DomePatrol]

Potential yes. Cemented in? Not so much. Put together a few more good season with a few more playoff wins and he should be good to go in. He has I think 30,000 career passing yards so if he puts gets a one more 4000 yard season he will be in the top 20 all time pass yards.

It's nice to see that someone with 8 Seasons in his career, and only 6 of them being qualified as good seasons puts someone in the Hall of Fame these days.

No wonder why Kurt Warner got in. Even though he spent half of his career injured or on the bench.

I recall the Hall of Fame being the most elite of the crop. The guys that have played 10-15 years, and have dominated in just about every season of their career.

The people in the league that are without a shadow of a doubt the best player at their position for years, upon years, upon years.

In my ever so humble opinion being a Hall of Fame player means being dominant for a decade or more. It means being someone who never gets injured, or perhaps plays through injury. Someone who shows toughness, and grit. Someone who leads their conference in their main stat category at least 5 times in their career. Someone when you ask yourself who the best in the league at that position is, automatically comes to mind without any doubt. But also someone who falls under this thought for years, and years.

Get out of the French Quarter much? The locals don't even go there because people from across the country run around with beads trying to get bitches to show their tits and puke on the street 24x7.

There is a lot more to the city than 10 blocks of tourist trap that is necessary to draw conventions and hospitality events that the city depends on for its survival.

The whole city smells like piss.

This. Uptown is gorgeous. Much of New Orleans is far different than Bourbon St. and most locals rarely if ever go to the Quarter. I'm sure last night was an exception.
