Brees ties Brady's SB completion record with 32

[BradysBunch12]

I figured he was going to surpass it, and to be honest, would have been happy for him if he did. Lost in this Manning choked talk (which I admit, I can't get enough of) is the fact that Brees was as accurate as a sniper tonight and established himself as a big game and elite cornerback.

We have Manning to thank for this.. his pick 6 ended any chance for Brees to exceed that record.

It's 12:46 there and Brees is still wearing his uniform!

Re: Brees ties Brady's SB completion record with 32.

During the game I was wondering how much he was going to break it by and if both of them might break it

and in the postgame, that idiot who hosts NFLN said Brady was the "FORMER" holder of the completion record....

He's pretty darn good, but I don't know I'd be calling him an elite CORNERback

A tied record is a worthy trade for this victory for us Pats fans.

AGREED!!! I didn't even care if he broke it to be honest, as long as Seyton and the Toilet Seats lost, it was all good to me! :singing: Although now that the Saints won, I'm glad Brees only tied TFB!!!

Honestly, I didn't think that record was too epic to begin with. It's cool to have lots of records, but unlike Young's 6TDs:1 Superbowl performance, I didn't think that this record [for completions] was really too important.

Hard not to be accurate when you don't complete a pass further than 10 yds away, and a vast majority of your passes are dumpoffs...

Not trying to take anything away from Brees, he played well, and is a good QB, but it's starting to get old hearing his name uttered in the same breath and Brady and Manning.

Not calling you out personally, just saying.


I mean, the dude had 32 completions for what 280? Kyle Orton style.

I sort of disagree just because the Patriots needed every single one of those receptions to win that game. Their defense was awful that game, and Brady lead them on 2 late 4th quarter drives for the win. They were behind. That makes the record especially meaningful, though I acknowledge a QB who loses the Super Bowl may one day break that record.

Brady had 350 yards in his game and three TDs.

Why shouldn't he be uttered in the same breath now? He has his SB ring, and in the last 4 year span in the NFL, he has bested both Brady and Manning in most statistical categories.

It's not like this is Dilfer or Johnson just riding the rest of his team to a SB win. Brees is the leader on and off the field of that team, just like Brady is. And in his first superbowl ever, he was 32 of 39. With 2 drops and a spike the ball play. So out of 39 attempts, he missed on 4 passes. All game. in the SUPERBOWL.

We gotta love our Pats, but give credit where credit is due.

Ridiculous. He was taking what the defense gave them and carved them up for a win and the MVP. That's what he's supposed to do. He's the best statistical QB in the league since 2006 and deserves every bit of praise he gets.

I do give credit where credit is due.

Drew Brees is a great QB. He completed most of his passes because most of his passes traveled an average of about 5 yds. I mean yeah, any QB is going to complete those. I'm not blaming him for doing it, hell I would. But let's be real here.

It's not as impressive as the media is making it out to be. Most QBs in the NFL can complete the passes Brees made last night. Not ONCE did he make a throw that made me think "wow nice pass"...Manning DID however. Off the top of my head, his pass to Clark to the right sideline was unbelievable.

And bested Brady and Manning over the past 4 years? Are you high? Maybe in yds, and that would probably have something to do with the fact that he threw the ball close to 700 times per year 07-08.

Last night, while watching the Saints, I couldn't help but think to myself "Kyle Orton could effectively run this offense".

Like I said before, maybe in yds and pass attempts.

Brady and Manning are on their own tier for QBs.

Then Brees, Rivers.

And you can't hold Brady's not playing in 2008 against him and in favor of Brees for who is a better QB stastistically

So now maybe you can get it when we say we're tired of listening to crap about Manning and his one ring greatness.

AND AGAIN. I'm not saying he isn't a great QB. That can't be argued. My point is, he's not in the same sentence as Brady and Manning.

People argue (whether they are right or wrong is irrelevant) whether Brady or Manning is the best all time. And the arguement can be made strongly for either one.

No one and I mean NO ONE could make a case for Brees without being laughed at.

So again, Brees isn't in the same category as Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. That's all I'm trying to say.

Um, what? I can't stand Peyton Manning, I think he has a terrible attitude. But the dude is far superior a QB than Drew Brees.
