I just think Montana is overrated with how much sick talent was around him.
No way you put Brees ahead of Montana.
Not even close.
But Brees has a strong case for #3.

No one is arguing that Brees has had a better career than Brady. The argument is that Brees is in the conversation for maybe the 2nd greatest QB of all time. People use his record to try and distance him in these conversations, but IMO he's top 3, maybe 2nd behind Brady. His defenses have been awful over the years though. Not his fault.
Coming into this year they had the same amount of TD passes and Brees has almost 100 more interceptions. Step for step???
I don’t think Brees has a strong case for #3. A case, maybe but not a strong case. There are a few things against him. Losing seasons and win percentage, dome QB and only 1 super bowl. He’s a great QB but he’s not in my top 5.
And yet his career rating is .4 MORE than Tom's. He must be doing something right.
Right. No homerism here Ice Ice Brady.Cool. I see you aren’t able to really appreciate having the greatest quarterback of all-time and understanding what that means.
A random statistical formula that creates a random number is more important than having similar statistical production BUT one player having 100 more interceptions, an average of over 5 each year?
Brees plays in a dome and in warm weather climates every game and gets garbage time opportunities all the time.
Seriously, smarten up and realize this isn’t homerism. The two aren’t close. Brees isn’t suddenly a top 3 all-time QB. You don’t go under the radar for 15-20 years and then suddenly become regarded as that due to an accumulation of stats.
Right. No homerism here Ice Ice Brady.
The notion that you think Brees has been under the radar for 20 years says it all about your though process.
Then show me a single post that you’ve made prior to this season that Brees is even remotely close to Joe Montana or even in the top 4-5 QBs ever? I think that my thought process is pretty sound, which isn’t that Brees has been a secret but that it would have seemed idiotic to put him this high on the all-time list BUT FOR the present moment and a whole 10-game stretch accounting for 99% of this opinion. You call me a homer, but I didn’t even start the Brady comparison. I think it’s ridiculous to suggest Brees is suddenly ahead of Montana, Staubach, Elway, Manning (as much as I hate saying this, it’s true), and arguably even Rodgers.
Right. 46TDs and 5476 yards is chickenshit. As is 5 seasons of better than 70 percent completion percentage. Something that Tom and Peyton have failed to accomplish even once. 73,800 yards passing all time, ~2K more than the nearest competitor and 5K more than Tom in one less season. Five times more than 5K passing yards in a seaon, the only player who's EVER had more than one season of 5K+
Staubach???? 153 career TDs and 109 INTs? 22K yards passing for his career? Playoff QB rating of 76?
Nobody is saying that TB12 isn't the GOAT, but you're embarrassing yourself.
