Drew Brees: HOFer?

:facepalm2: You are missing what I'm saying. What I was getting at is; if you put Brees in the HOF for having big stats, then you might as well toss Collins in also. Not because Collins has done anything good, but because he also has the stats that would send a player there. Not in any single season, but in his career. Which is how you find your way to Canton, by having a long career with big numbers. Collins only trails Favre then Manning in yards at this point. No one is in the HOF from one single season. Otherwise C.J. is a HOFer right now. I mean C.J. like Brees should be there, but not yet. They need more wins, more highlights, and more everything.

 

JC, 4/20 is over half a year away.

 

JC, you're misunderstanding the stats. The stats posted by Brees are impressive are impressive because of how few seasons they have been amassed in. In the reverse, Collins' stats aren't impressive because of how long it has taken him to get them. That being said, Collins' stats are impressive, mostly in that he's held a job in the NFL long enough to throw that much. That being said, no one would argue that collins is a hall of famer.

On the debate as a whole, I think Manning and Brees are both hall of famers. Manning could have a heart attack tomorrow and he'd get in, just because of his amazing streak of production over the last twelve years, combined with his super bowl win and 3.5 MVPs. Brees would be on the cusp if he didn't play another full season, just because he saved New Orleans by bringing them back from Katrina with a Super Bowl win. Of course, that's giving him extra credit, but he gets it none the less. I'd expect him to have several more solid if not excellent seasons, and in that case, especially if he gets to or wins another super bowl, offensive player of the year, or MVP, then he's a lock.

 

who make the HOF first? Brady,Brees or manning?

 

Whoever retires first. I'd put my money on Brady.
