Saints’ Brees is a winner without a ring
Inching toward Lincoln Financial Field for the Eagles game Sunday, I listened to a spirited debate on WIP-AM (610) between Mike Mayock of the NFL Network and Reuben Frank, intrepid Eagles reporter for the Burlington County Times. Mayock and Frank vehemently disagreed over whether Drew Brees is one of the top five quarterbacks in the NFL.
Mayock said yes, and cited a laundry list of statistics and accomplishments by the nine-year veteran: 5,069 passing yards last season, a completion percentage in the 60s the last four seasons and three Pro Bowls, among other things. Frank said no, and pointed to the Saints’ 15-17 record the last two years, Brees’ mediocre road record, and the absence on his resume of a conference championship win.
