People are always comparing Drew Brees to Tom Brady. Just about everyone unless you’re a Saints fan always says that Tom Brady is the “G.O.A.T.”. Brady’s success is measured by being the QB of a Super Bowl caliber team his entire career. Since 2006 the Patriots had a winning season every single year with the lowest record being 10/6 in 2009. When you’re the QB of a team that is that good you can’t help but to break records and stand out.
It’s not because you are all that spectacular, it’s because you have a good offensive line to give you more time to scan the field, you have elite receivers that catch anything their fingers touch.
