Maybe this doesn’t get talked about enough. Maybe it does. Who knows? Here’s a real serious question though. Why don’t we talk about Drew Brees more? Sure, he gets mentioned as one of the greats. Yes, everyone agrees that he’s a first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee.
Still, when we start talking about quarterbacks, we talk about Tom Brady, and Patrick Mahomes, and Aaron Rodgers, and Carson Wentz, and Dak Prescott. Brees is one of the best ever. We just don’t talk about him.
That’s cool, just so long as you don’t ignore him or give him or his New Orleans Saints anything easy. Ask the Texans what happens if you do that.
Philly played some of the worst football we’ve ever seen them play in the first half of their first game of 2019 before playing some of the best football we’ve ever seen them play in the second half. They should be sharper as weeks go on, and for now, a top-five ranking still seems fair.
They’re extremely talented. They just need to be more consistent.
