Let's revisit this thread.
Brees - 70.9 Cmp%, 3326 yrds, 23 TDs vs 11 INTs. 101.3 rating. 0 rushing TDs
Brady - 65.4 Cmp%, 3266 yrds, 25 TDs vs 10 INTs, 102.5 rating. 0 rushing TDs
π¦π· - 71.8 Cmp%, 3475 yrds, 33 TDs vs 4 INTs. 127.7 Rating. 2 rushing TDs
Stat summary - π¦π· has the clear lead, but to be fair, all 3 have pretty solid seasons. The thing with π¦π· though is this will go down as one of the best QB seasons EVER. No way Brees or Brady can beat π¦π· at this rate. Not even close.
Now let's look at supporting casts. I've heard it argued that Brady makes WRs better. You know what? They're right. He does. But so do Brees and π¦π·.
Under π¦π·, Driver's career has been prolonged. Driver's last Pro Bowl season was 2007 and he only caught 2 TDs that year. As GB's 4th WR (statistically), Driver has already matched that this year and the previous years under π¦π·, has been averaging 5 TDs a season, despite being past his prime.
James Jones was a deep threat under Favre but is once again a deep threat. 5 TDs and an 18.8 average. Pretty impressive.
Gregorious already has 8 TDs and Jordy Nelson, who every other NFL team overlooked, has 9.
Yes, Gregorious was good under Favre, but Favre, like Brady, is also a Hall of Fame QB who makes receivers better. It's not a valid argument.
Brady and Welker are putting up absolutely sick numbers together. Welker should make All Pro once again this year. Let's not forget that it's Belichick, not Brady, who fell in love with Welker's ability. Brady happens to be the one throwing passes to him. Brady's passing style is different from π¦π·'s and is actually closer to Favre when it comes to TD preferences as Brady is a TE guy. 15 of his TD passes are to TEs vs "only" 10 to his WRs.
One could argue that Brady resurrected Deion Branch's career to which I'd say Branch was never an elite WR. He was always a solid WR and never more than that. It's coincidental. Branch was injured and this year has been injury free. Has nothing to do with Brady (unless Brady was doing some magic to protect Branch from injury while on the Pats).
Brees - someone else has to write up Brees. I don't follow the Saints like I do the Pats. I find the Pats fascinating as Belichick is an evil genius. The guy I watch on the Saints is Sproles because I liked watching him on the Chargers and knew the Saints would get a steal when Sproles went over there. Sproles is an upgrade over Reggie Bush. Sproles is a better return man, is quicker, and more deceptive. I can't really summarize the rest of the team.
