Brees is continues to be elite.
If you’re a quarterback, the gold standard for playing the position has to be none other than Peyton Manning. Manning is a legend the game and will forever be known as one the greatest QBs all-time. He made it to four Super Bowls and won two them which isn’t phenomenal but still pretty great when you consider all his stats. Manning finished his career with a staggering 539 touchdowns which is a record many thought to be insurmountable. Well, Tom Brady is close to breaking his record and on Monday, Drew Brees ficially broke the record as he notched his 540th TD during the third quarter.
Brady and Brees have been going back and forth this season with their TD totals although Brees would be way out in front had it not been for his hand injury. Also, Brady seems to be on a steep decline as far as fensive production is concerned so it wouldn’t be surprising to see Breed run away with the TD record. Regardless, Brady took to Twitter last night to fer his congratulations to Brees.
With the Saints and Patriots boasting some the best records in the NFL, there is a real chance we could see these two in the Super Bowl come February. If so, it will be a phenomenal battle between two legendary QBs.
