I still can't get over that stat about Brady having a better winning percent in the playoffs when throwing three INT's than Rodgers' winning percent when throwing three TD's.
@@angelmendez9365 He ran for a touchdown, and do you remember that game saving tackle that Tom Brady once made to help his team to the super bowl? yeah... That's literally what Aaron Rodgers did in that game and no one talks about it. Like I guess we only care about an amazing feat if the decorated player does it. The Bears defense that year was easily among the best in the league, and he also had a combined 283 yards. I'm willing to admit that TD:INT ratio isn't the only important stat so I hope you don't think it is (and you won't hear me purely talking about Rodgers' 2020 48:5 TD/INT ratio. Instead I prefer to use stats that compliment each other so that it gives you a more all around look at how impressive what he did was (he didn't just have a 48-5 TD/INT ration, he also had one of the highest completion percentages in history and he isn't the check and dunk (or rather dink and dunk) quarterback that Drew Brees is. For instance, Rodgers in 2020 in the red-zone had a QBR of 99.2. This is impressive because QBR is a rating on a scale of 0 ( being atrocious) to 100 (being literal perfection). What makes it even more impressive is that it wasn't just in one game, as this can cause stats like passer rating or QBR to be an anomaly due to not being a large enough of a sample-size, but a full 16 game season so that there were many opportunities to screw that near perfect QBR up). Next time, do some research because I could show you stats like how Tom Brady has a higher winning percent in playoff games where he throws 3 INT'S than Aaron Rodgers' winning percentage in playoff games where he throws 3TD's. I've debated idiots who thought winning was 60% on the QB and 40% on the rest of the team (at least 30 other players), and I'd prefer not to confuse another neophyte brain with hard data driven analysis, so save me some time and buzz off.
@@angelmendez9365 You also ignore that his average QBR in conference championships is about 62.7. Well above average, and that should be more than enough to win games, but his defense allows a QBR of over 80 (which has company with only some of the best single season QBR's to have been recorded, and that's the average. The highest QBR of that group is 95.6 and it came from Colin Kaepernick (in laymen's terms: one of the worst quarterbacks to have ever been in a Super bowl was allowed to post a nearly perfect stat by one of the Green Bay defenses Rodgers had to overcome). You also seem to forget that that one touchdown Rodgers scored in that NFC Championship game LITERALLY WAS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE GAME. He made multiple game winning plays in that game and you criticize him for it like some of the best players of all time have never won games where they played like shit (despite the fact that Brady has a higher winning percent in the playoffs when throwing 3 INT's than Rodgers' winning percent in the playoffs when throwing 3 TD's). Very scientific of you. You so smort.
Because Brady will throw a bad INT but then as bad as it was, he plays great and carries the rest of the game. He'll make a bonehead throw but then still is great enough to win the game.
@@xmontovanillix here’s the problem with Rodgers even attempting to make come backs. The team around him plays horribly like how in 2016 there were TWO fumbles from HB’s in the red zone, and his defense gave up 44 points. Brady will put up 3 INT’s, 2 TD’s and win, while Rodgers puts up 4TD’s, 1 INT and losses. You won’t find a game where Rodgers played as badly as Brady did in the 2006 divisional round against the Chargers and still win the closes thing to that 3INT, 2 TD performance that won was his 2010 NFCCG and he’s played much better than that in NFCCG’s so don’t pretend that just because they won that it was his best NFCCG performance. There are numerous occasions where Rodgers led a clutch drive in the playoffs and the defense died on him. Then in games where his defense shows up a lot of his offense doesn’t like in this past NFCCG like how Equanimeous S.T Brown was assigned to run a pick route and failed (how? It’s the simplest route possible), or Aaron Jones giving Brady the ball at the 7 yard line, or Mike Pettine’s 20 brain cells. To make a come back you need a team that plays well, or an opposing team that completely collapses (like the Falcons in 2016, or the Packers in 2014).
I’ll never forgive the NFL for allowing that joke of a no-call that robbed the Saints of a Super Bowl appearance that would have been exponentially more exciting than the 3 point slog fest from the Rams
Yeah imagine if that happened and Dee Ford didn’t jump offsides in the AFC championship game. We could have had a chiefs vs saints super bowl instead of the worst super bowl of all time.
@Alejandro Anaya especially in the past 3-4 seasons you could make the argument the saints had the best roster in the nfl with a top 5 head coach/qb and they didn’t even make it to an nfc championship.......
I went over this in greater length in my comment. But of course that shit "DOES NOT happen to Tom Brady. Belichek is pretty strict on not paying star players so much, precisely so there will be more money under the salery cap for everything else, like the O-line and defense.
Lifelong Saints fan, and everything you said is FACT. Brees used to have a CANNON of an arm and, in my eyes, was the QB to beat for the longest time. Unfortunately, our defenses just could not finish games for us. Between Beast Quake, the SF collapse, Minneapolis Miracle, etc etc we could just never quite find a way to get back into games. It's been a sad 3 years trying to watch Brees get back, but unfortunately he wasn't the same player after multiple injuries.
If you look at history, every great quarterback needs a great defensive game or amazing plays from their skill positions to carry them through a rough game. Unfortunately for Drew the only time this happened was in 2009. Legit every other time he was let down by our defense or playmakers.
@@jakekunz5168 the craziest part was that defense wasn’t even Drew’s best. I would go as far to say that it wasn’t even top 3. They just made plays when they had to and that’s all you need to do when your eventual HOF QB is in his prime and is whipping the ball around.
@@jacklewis2491 i'm sure drew brees was actually the mastermind of bountygate, convincing his defensive coordinator and defense to do all that. he really can do it all!
It’s because his defense was garbage until the back end of his career. It’s also a shame that he’s also one of the unluckiest qbs I’ve seen. Two plays that prevented him from potential Super Bowls that were out of his control.
Minnesota Miracle Minnesota push off Rams No Call and in that same game, the INT that was thrown to MT was actually another no call (pass interference) because u can clearly see the defender grab MT before the ball gets there 🤦🏾♂️
@@BigRael92 I don’t agree with the push off we just choked but other than that we got screwed the other 2 years. Drew legit got punched in the face on the int against the rams.
@@jakekunz5168 It was a little bit of a push-off but I've seen worse not get called. But that entire ending in 2018 was just no-call after no-call to the point that I literally cannot understand how people don't all know the league is rigged at this point.
@@BaronVonBielski it was easily a push off, the things is, if PJ Williams isn’t looking back playing the ball just running behind him they won’t call it. He should’ve had his head around.
You should mention the key reason he threw so many interceptions in losing seasons was our only chance to win was if he threaded every possible needle. I like some QBs, he isn’t afraid to risk an INT if his team desperately needs big plays. A lot of the time it paid off, sometimes it didn’t, but it was a risk he absolutely had to take in order for the Saints to keep up with the opposing offense.
@@mildsthatyac2097 I feel people don't talk about Brees enough tho. He's right up there with Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Hell, he even beat Manning in the Superbowl and beat Brady multiple times
@@Notorious224 yeah because several key players, including Brees himself, were injured, playing injured, or were knocked out of the game. Even then it still took a fumble by Jared Cook halfway through the 3rd quarter to flip back momentum to the Bucs side. Instead of the Saints potentially going up by 2 scores. Even then, Brees is 5-3 against Brady all time. I want to say he’s the only QB with a winning record against Brady with a minimum of 5 games played.
@@jcoolguy1548 Lol but brees is overrated, 1 super bowl and more overrated then tom brady who has 7 super bowls. Dan Marino Joe Montana, Peyton Manning and hell even ben roethlisberger is in my opinion better than drew brees.
these in depth breakdowns on Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, and Drew Brees have been great content! One on either Marino or Montana would be good as well!
Brees Prime Was Wasted Because of The Saints Never Getting Him A Good Defence Then When They finally Give Him A Great Team Brees Was Out Of Prime And His Arm Fell Off A Ciff
People also forget that Brees nearly had a career ending injury in his throwing arm before he even played for the Saints. The fact that he was able to have the career he had after that happened is actually insane.
i mean, even the last few seasons, his short to mid range accuracy was still unrivaled. he did lack the deep ball that he had in his prime though the last few years.
@@thecensoredmuscle563 they were #15 total defense that year. We’ve only had 1 top 5 defense and it was #5 in 2019. 2009 we had the 7th best defense. Those are the only times brees ever had a top 10 defense.
Sean McVay's face when he realized he was going to lose the super bowl after a bullshit call sent him there was just the best thing ever to us Saints fans. Brees is still owed a ring
I'd argue that the Saints have had two 'dynasty' periods under Drew Brees, but they've been overlooked because despite being championship caliber in the regular season, they kept having the brass ring pulled away. In the same way that people often overlook the four years in a row under jim kelly that the bills lived in the SB as being a 'dynasty.' from 2009-2013, Saints were a force to be reckoned with, barely losing to the 49ers, getting bested by the Seahawks a couple of times in close games, and while yes they went 7-9 in 2012, the ONLY reason they weren't superbowl contenders that year, based on the roster they had and any fan who watched the games that year will tell you, was the coaching; Payton should never have been punished for that ridiculous bounty scandal, and Kromer and Vitt didn't have a snowballs chance of keeping the fire lit. And for the last 4 years, tell me there has been a single soul that would have been surprised to see the Saints in the SB? four years, four basically last second loses, Two straight robberies. and a lot of the defense collapsing in the playoffs, and not playing to even a quarter of their own regular season standards. The saints had to go through two rebuild periods because of the front offices inability to draft or acquire defensive pieces or an offensive line, and as a result Drew having to play catchup for most of those years, and having to throw under significant pressure, to recievers that were similarly underappreciated. These problems were seemingly fixed with the 2017 front office changes, and one can hope that maybe even in a future without Drew they can be successful. If you measure a 'dynasty' only by championships, than no. But if you measure it by long term (3+ years) and consistently dominant performances, I would say the Saints have done it twice,
2012 was so historically bad. I've seen Patriots fans complain about their 2011 defense which they made the Superbowl with. While I admit their defense was pretty awful, the 2012 Saints we're so horrendous finishing 7-9 is a God damn accomplishment. The Saints defense gave up over 7000 total yards of offense. The Saints scored 28.8 points per game while their defense gave up 28.4 points per game. This is with Brees having a 5000 yard passing season, 43 TDs and 19 interceptions. Given this is a per game average, it essentially points to the Saints basically not being able to make any ground no matter how many times they scored because their opponent would score almost instantly, with one total fluke game against Tampa Bay where the defense somehow held them scoreless. 4 of their losses were 1 score or less with another 2 being by 10 points or less. But 7000 yards of offense and 48 total touchdowns surrendered to their opponents. Almost no hall of fame QB has ever had a defense that bad, even that famed 2011 Pats D wasn't that bad. They gave up 6500 yards and 39 touchdowns and 21.4 points per game. Matt Ryan's defense gave up 25.4 points per game when he was an MVP.
This is absolutely NOT true. Dynasties are defined by winning and that includes championships. If you have seasons where you're not even making the playoffs, then you aren't a dynasty.
My favorite player on my favorite team gets a deep breakdown. It hurts to see how many opportunities we had to get him at least ONE more trip to the bowl. Thank you Drew for the one for the city🙏🏿⚜️Legend
I feel like Drew threw a lot more ints in his career because most the time he had to put the team on his back and try make something happen since defense was trash and prob had a couple tipped balls also they lost so many picks and that really hurt him so couldn’t give home any pro bowler WR until MT second year becoming one they went straight to playoffs and Minneapolis miracle happens smh
Yea he had to throw the ball a hell of alot in his prime too because the run game wasn't even average! Imagine if he had MT and Kamara/Ingram in his prime. Probably wouldn't even need the defense but it sucks
@@cameronwilliams6439 it didn’t bother him much since he put up all time great stats for a QB’s career. But there were a few head scratching picks he threw that went straight to a defender that I can only explain as him not being able to see them due to his height.
Basically, no qb is perfect game to game no matter what fans and the media want you to remember. This is apparent when you show games where Drew struggled. The key is coming to together at the right time so that, even if the qb only plays mediocre, the team will play well overall and win. That did not happen much for Drew. More for some other guys. I always say the easiest way to win in the NFL regardless of qb performance is to protect the quarterback and sack the quarterback.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Every QB is gonna have a bad game. They even have multiple bad ones in a row. The difference is the margin for error, however. For a guy like Brees or Rodgers, it’s slim. For a guy like Brady, as long as he shows up for 1 or 2 quarters, he can play like ass the rest of the game and still likely win.
For just bad luck in playoff losses, you could also look at his lone playoff game on the Chargers in 2004 too. Almost a 74% completion percentage on 42 attempts for 319 yards and 2 TDs to 1 interception. Pretty solid game from him, but they lost in OT because his kicker missed a 40 yard field goal that would’ve won it. They then lost on the ensuing Jets possession after they marched 60 yards downfield to kick a 28 yard field goal. I know it’s not pertinent to the video considering it’s talking about the Saints years with him, but it just adds to the amount of bad luck he’s had in the postseason.
14:00 “He had almost zero margin for error because of his terrible defense” should always be remembered when thinking of legendary qbs with shitty defenses
*Ranking All Time Saints QBs* 1. Drew Brees [significantly wide gap bigger than Michael Strahans teeth] 2. Bobby Hebert 3. Archie Manning 4. Aaron Brooks
Aaron Brooks is easily the second best QB in Saints history. Archie is fourth just off of the last name. The Cajun Cannon wasn’t good, but got us to the playoffs.
You still see ppl rock Archie and Hebert throwbacks but I’ve never seen Aaron brooks throwback. He was good but people always roasted his ass lil Wayne dissed him on a song
Coming from a Saints fan, this answer is simple. They could never keep talent around him and never had a defense until his last few years. I know about 3 or 4 seasons that the Saints should've won the superbowl but they just couldn't get it together in the post season
I got serious flashbacks to the 2nd Seahawks playoff game yelling at Colston to get out of bounds. Probably was still gonna be a losing situation but we'll never know bc he had to goof and throw the ball FORWARD
Brees is the 🐐 & I'll explain why. - He's the most accurate QB in NFL history (Has 7 seasons with a 70% completion rate). - Holds more single-game, single-season, & career accoldes than any QB in NFL history. - He NEVER had a pro bowl/all pro WR until Thomas came along when Brees was just about out of his prime. (Peyton had Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Demaryous Thomas, & a prime Emmanuel Sanders, Brady had Moss for a few seasons & Welker, & Rodgers had Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Greg Jennings, & Davante Adams). - He's had to carry his defense more than any QB in NFL history. (In terms of PPG, he's had only 4 top 10 defenses in 20 seasons so only 24% of his wins came with a top 10 defense. Brady on the other hand has 85% of wins with a top 10 defense). - He also had A LOT of pass attempts in the seasons he threw for 5,000 yards which is one reason for the int total. - He is 2nd all time behind Peyton in game winning drives & would be 1st if his defense didn't just blow so many games. - He's came 2nd in the MVP voting 4 times & was blatantly robbed in 2009. I could go on but moral to the story is that football is a TEAM sport so comparing QB's based solely on rings & wins is just flawed. For example, Brady has thrown 21 td's & 17 int's in 14 conference championship games but is 10-4 in them because of his defense keeping him in the game. Brady could afford to make mistakes in the playoffs unlike Brees because of his defense which is why Brady ranks 16th all time in playoff QB rating while Brees ranks 8th. Only guys ahead of him are Rodgers & QB's like Mahomes who haven't played many playoff games. If you don't AT THE LEAST have Brees in your top 5 then you're just a casual plain n simple.
Many close playoff games get undue focus put on their heartbreaking endings rather than the game as a whole. The offense was great in the clutch, but many playoff games had the team fighting an uphill battle in which both the offense and the defense had to be amazing. The SF loss coming back from 17-0 deficit mainly because of turnovers, the Seahawks and Bears shutting out the offense, the 17-0 first half against the Minnesota Miracle Vikings game, the second Vikings game with only one touchdown before the 4th, and obviously the Tampa loss were all cases where the offense either didn't score to their potential, gave up key turnovers, or both in the first half. The heartbreak finishes in so many close, close games hides why they were so close in the first place. It's important to note that a lot of the Saints' cap during the Payton-Brees era, space was spent on their offense. Not only was Brees very expensive, but he always had quite an expensive crew around him. As a life-long Saints fan, I'd hold the offense to a higher standard because that's where our money was. Our defense playing pretty good was way more than we expected most seasons, and the games our defense was on the field most of the game because our offense couldn't cobble a drive together felt exceptionally bad. There were many games the offense was off to an extremely slow start, leaving the defense out to stem the bleeding until Payton and Brees could figure the defense out. The games you blame on "being against a better team" are in my opinion more on the offense than the defense because of this. If the offense doesn't get going, the Saints aren't going to win. Saying "these defenses were legendary" is a post hoc justification for the legendary offense not finding a way to win. Also, the style of the Saints' offense (especially early on) makes their defense perform worse. The defense was never stellar (esp on
Completely agree with you. Payton seemed to overthink himself in the postseason, especially during the final 4-year stretch. The offense would scorch the earth for 16 games then come out ice cold in the playoffs. The defense screwed up a lot, but 17-20 the offense looked like they had to pull out all the stops to even score 20 points. The 17 vikings had an amazing defense but getting shut out until halftime was pretty awful, the 18 Rams didn't even have a good defense and the Saints couldn't score more than 23 at home, the 19 vikings barely snagged the 7 seed and the Saints scored only 20.
Definitely respect how you laid this out. It’s a shame Drew only had one super bowl appearance and NO MVP rewards. Still best quarterback of all time to me.
Maybe the spotlight should be put on Sean Payton/Mickey Loomis for not having won more than one Superbowl with Brees. After the 2006 draft, free agency - way more swings and misses. Not until they brought Ireland on did they get better in the draft (2017). But not to be outdone, Payton came roaring back reaching in the draft, negating Ireland. Then when things were turned around, Playoff Sean Payton returned, choked in the playoffs abandoning the run time and time again.
First thing that comes to my mind why they never became a dynasty was because their defense would never improve from over the years, they've had a lackluster defense for most of Brees's tenure!
@@itsthekid9815 make the playoffs to do what, Gen run off the field when your defense can’t stop a leak? The better a defense a QB has, the more margin for error he has. Brees had none for many years. Every QB has multiple games of 2-3 INTs, it’s an occupational hazard.
@@itsthekid9815if his defenses didn't force him to thread the needle and play hero ball on every drive he wouldn't have had so many. He was one of the most accurate passers ever.
@@AnubisLabrada this is a dumb comment. They lost in 2017 from defense, and then 2018 they should of won but the refs and then injuries and age got the best of drew. Most qbs can’t play past 37

Luck. No seriously, think about all the playoff losses that they had a greater than 50/50 chance of winning, and some stupid thing happened. Most notably, the Minneapolis miracle ig, but think about it
@@dillpickle7358 Saints are in the SB minimum if they beat the 49ers that season. Idc what anyone says, Giants weren’t gonna beat the Saints in the dome. Hell the Giants lost by 20+ playing there earlier in the season.
I blame Sean Payton just as much as the refs for 2018, they had already managed the clock poorly on that drive and mentally I always thought he let his team get so defeated from that call. Yes it was bad, but it was like they thought they already lost when they still had the lead, and then the ball in overtime...they could have and should have won that game anyway.
I’m not gonna lie, as a long time Saints fan, I’m kinda over Sean Payton. He gets propped up every year as some kind of mastermind (don’t get me wrong, he’s a solid coach) but in the 15 years he’s coached there with a first ballot hall of fame QB, we only have one Super Bowl to show for it, and a bunch of early playoff exits. The next few years I really feel like he’s gonna have to prove himself again...
Literally the most overlooked thing holding back the Saints, is injuries. We are the most injury prone team in history. And it’s horrible. Reggie’s career getting cut short, Marques Colston, Brees getting injured over and over. That alone is something that absolutely shattered our “dynasty”
All I know is that the best years of the Saints franchise were with Drew and Sean. They went from a long-time laughingstock to SB Champions and consistent playoff contenders for 15 years. I'll take that. The Saints had low ranking defenses back then with a superpowered offense led by Brees. He's HOF for a reason. Lebron James carried the Cavaliers and Drew carried the Saints.
If I had a nickel for every time Drew Brees’s dominant offense lead the Saints to a 13-3 record, only for them to miss out on a first round bye bc the 9ers and Packers were both better, I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
Still can’t believe we didn’t go to the Super Bowl in 2018 I really believe we were the better team and should have been there and won it drew should have had at least 4 Superbowls
If you're gonna judge a quarterback by rings, you're arguing that Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson are better than Philip Rivers and Dan Marino. Make that argument to someone who actually knows football, and see how quickly you get laughed at.
The thing about Rivers is that he had a great team in the 2000s. But played terrible in playoffs from 06-09, except in 08. Later got better in playoffs, but by then teams were not super bowl talent like they were from 06-09.
Brady fans got to realize that to win Super Bowls you have to have ATLEAST above average defenses Drew Brees and Peyton Manning won super bowls with below average defenses Tom Brady never has
Right and its a team effort one player cannot carry a team for an example deshaun watson was carrying the texans and they still finished 4-12 heck even the previous dynastys it took a team effort not one player or just the offense
It’s kinda funny how in my opinion Brady’s best playoff run was 2018 when he lost in the super bowl that was the only year he really didn’t get some fluky shit to prod him up and had to deal with what every other great quarterback had to
Brees just didn't motivate his defenses to play better like Brady does. Brees didn't tell the referees to give his team favorable calls like Brady does. What a loser!
@@bobbybetwirlin8442 he also never had a defense that was even remotely as trash as most of Brees’ defenses were. He’s been bailed out 10000x more than Brees was.
One of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game winning a super bowl very early in his career to look promising as the next great one only to never win another. As a packers fan i can concretely say ive never seen something like this since.
Brees should have had 3 wins. They should have beat the Rams and they would have beat the Pats and I say that as a Pats fan. Idk about beating KC but they would have made it and they wouldn't have ended up throwing the game at the end like the 9ers

I think adding time of possession as well as average drive time are important. When the defense is forced to 180 after a short 2-3 minute drive, they’re going to be exhausted and be more likely to give up yards and points. You may trash TB for dinking and dunking but the fact is that generates first downs which gives defenses rest. I don’t know the actual stats but what I remember about drew Brees is him getting downfield quick. Idk just a though 🤷♂️
He really had a lot of playoff heartbreaks, many of which were not his fault. I forgot how good that divisional game against the 49ers was. That was an underrated classic.
14:59 The broncos player who returned the kick clearly stepped out of bounds but it wasn't called back. The officials explanation was something along the lines of "his cleats are white, so it blends in with the sideline, making it hard to tell." Mf if he was inbounds there would be a gap where you could see the green of the turf. But whatever.
I bet on the Rams in the game against the Saints, and even I felt bad over that missed pass interference call against the Rams. That was probably one of, if not THE worst missed calls in NFL playoff history…
I still believe it was pass interference, and that the Saints should’ve gone to the Super Bowl and that they would’ve absolutely won vs tom Brady’s patriots

Man, good video. It’s so sad to see Brees leave with only one ring. Oh, what could’ve been. Also, that chart of defensive rankings really puts into perspective how lucky Brady was to have a functional defense year in and year out. That basically never happens, and you you know what else never happens? Going to another team with another amazing defense and winning a super bowl in your first year. At 43 years old, might I add. Like, really?
The majority of the Saints' history was sort of a parody of even a mediocre team. We've had some few notable to dominant people on our historical rosters (prior to 2006, The Sean Payton Era), such as Archie Manning, the Dome Patrol, Morten Andersen, Deuce McAllister, and so on... If I'm being honest, it's a miracle this franchise was never relocated from anytime between 1967 to 2005, as we've only appeared in the payoffs 5 times, with 1 win and 5 losses. It took us 32 seasons to get our first playoff win. I feel very lucky and grateful to have been born in the early 90s, being able to witness the best era of the Saints as a young teenager, and growing up with it to now, and having little true feeling of how it felt for older members of my family and friends who've followed the Saints since the old baghead days. We've had plenty of playoff woes, plus a robbed NFC Championship. Despite this, I still see the entirety of the Sean Payton Era with fortune. We've become a notable and feared franchise. I see having a single ring as the icing on the cake. Plenty of legends who were on great teams never had that opportunity, such as Dan Marino, Randy Moss, and Barry Sanders. While I find it unfortunate that we never appeared in a second, third, or fourth Superbowl on otherwise legendary seasons, I'm just glad our team managed to get one.
Thanks barry! Can you do a deep dive why lebron is 4 and 6 in the finals? I think a deep dive in why philip rivers never made the superbowl would be cool too.
2007: Shot poorly, committed as many turnovers as assists and was outplayed by Tony Parker. 2011: Looked extremely passive and disappeared in nearly every 4th quarter. 2014: the raw stats look decent but a lot of the points came out of reach. I don’t think he should get too much criticism for this finals. I’m pretty sure you put any other superstar in LeBrons position and the result would remain the same. 2015: obviously losing your 2 best teammates hurts tremendously. Losing that Game 4 was huge and then Curry going nuclear in Game 5 gave the Warriors all the momentum to close it out. 2017: facing arguably the greatest team of all time. Had an opportunity in Game 3 but Warriors are just too OP 2018: same thing except LeBron as a one man show can only do so much. So while LeBron is 4-6 in the Finals which is obviously not something to be proud of. The teams he faced and some of the circumstances he himself faced were far too much to overcome hence why he was a massive underdog in 14, 15, 17, 18.
@@gridirongod4207 I think 14 he should’ve won and 17 was completely out of reach. Him and kyrie were lethal and the role players were stepping up but I don’t try and argue this one because ya know the warriors are one of the best

I think 2015 was when the Saints defense broke the record for yards allowed under Rob Ryan. So the Bills did the smart thing and hired him as defensive coordinator in 2016 and they wound up having one of their worst defenses in recent memory. Just a coincidence I'm sure.
We can't Guage success by Tom Brady standards. What he did is INSANE. He played in a super bowl ever other year for 20 years. He won 7 out of 10 appearances. That's so much success its suspect. It's sketchy. And the Patriots were caught cheating 5 times during the run. That's just what we know about. 2 superbowls is still extremely impressive. You also have to take account Joe Montana got his 4 pree free agency era. He had the benefit of a much longer window for a nucleus. Teams today have on average a 3 year window of optimum performance between rebuilds. Anyways. If you don't see my point you don't know football.
I still can't get over that stat about Brady having a better winning percent in the playoffs when throwing three INT's than Rodgers' winning percent when throwing three TD's.
@@angelmendez9365 He ran for a touchdown, and do you remember that game saving tackle that Tom Brady once made to help his team to the super bowl?
yeah...
That's literally what Aaron Rodgers did in that game and no one talks about it. Like I guess we only care about an amazing feat if the decorated player does it. The Bears defense that year was easily among the best in the league, and he also had a combined 283 yards. I'm willing to admit that TD:INT ratio isn't the only important stat so I hope you don't think it is (and you won't hear me purely talking about Rodgers' 2020 48:5 TD/INT ratio. Instead I prefer to use stats that compliment each other so that it gives you a more all around look at how impressive what he did was (he didn't just have a 48-5 TD/INT ration, he also had one of the highest completion percentages in history and he isn't the check and dunk (or rather dink and dunk) quarterback that Drew Brees is. For instance, Rodgers in 2020 in the red-zone had a QBR of 99.2. This is impressive because QBR is a rating on a scale of 0 ( being atrocious) to 100 (being literal perfection). What makes it even more impressive is that it wasn't just in one game, as this can cause stats like passer rating or QBR to be an anomaly due to not being a large enough of a sample-size, but a full 16 game season so that there were many opportunities to screw that near perfect QBR up). Next time, do some research because I could show you stats like how Tom Brady has a higher winning percent in playoff games where he throws 3 INT'S than Aaron Rodgers' winning percentage in playoff games where he throws 3TD's. I've debated idiots who thought winning was 60% on the QB and 40% on the rest of the team (at least 30 other players), and I'd prefer not to confuse another neophyte brain with hard data driven analysis, so save me some time and buzz off.
@@angelmendez9365 You also ignore that his average QBR in conference championships is about 62.7. Well above average, and that should be more than enough to win games, but his defense allows a QBR of over 80 (which has company with only some of the best single season QBR's to have been recorded, and that's the average. The highest QBR of that group is 95.6 and it came from Colin Kaepernick (in laymen's terms: one of the worst quarterbacks to have ever been in a Super bowl was allowed to post a nearly perfect stat by one of the Green Bay defenses Rodgers had to overcome). You also seem to forget that that one touchdown Rodgers scored in that NFC Championship game LITERALLY WAS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE GAME. He made multiple game winning plays in that game and you criticize him for it like some of the best players of all time have never won games where they played like shit (despite the fact that Brady has a higher winning percent in the playoffs when throwing 3 INT's than Rodgers' winning percent in the playoffs when throwing 3 TD's). Very scientific of you. You so smort.
Because Brady will throw a bad INT but then as bad as it was, he plays great and carries the rest of the game. He'll make a bonehead throw but then still is great enough to win the game.
@@xmontovanillix here’s the problem with Rodgers even attempting to make come backs.
The team around him plays horribly like how in 2016 there were TWO fumbles from HB’s in the red zone, and his defense gave up 44 points. Brady will put up 3 INT’s, 2 TD’s and win, while Rodgers puts up 4TD’s, 1 INT and losses. You won’t find a game where Rodgers played as badly as Brady did in the 2006 divisional round against the Chargers and still win the closes thing to that 3INT, 2 TD performance that won was his 2010 NFCCG and he’s played much better than that in NFCCG’s so don’t pretend that just because they won that it was his best NFCCG performance. There are numerous occasions where Rodgers led a clutch drive in the playoffs and the defense died on him. Then in games where his defense shows up a lot of his offense doesn’t like in this past NFCCG like how Equanimeous S.T Brown was assigned to run a pick route and failed (how? It’s the simplest route possible), or Aaron Jones giving Brady the ball at the 7 yard line, or Mike Pettine’s 20 brain cells. To make a come back you need a team that plays well, or an opposing team that completely collapses (like the Falcons in 2016, or the Packers in 2014).

Lifelong Saints fan, and everything you said is FACT. Brees used to have a CANNON of an arm and, in my eyes, was the QB to beat for the longest time. Unfortunately, our defenses just could not finish games for us. Between Beast Quake, the SF collapse, Minneapolis Miracle, etc etc we could just never quite find a way to get back into games.
It's been a sad 3 years trying to watch Brees get back, but unfortunately he wasn't the same player after multiple injuries.
Heres the cherry On top drew Was 1 yard short of tying the single season passing yard record That hurts
If you look at history, every great quarterback needs a great defensive game or amazing plays from their skill positions to carry them through a rough game. Unfortunately for Drew the only time this happened was in 2009. Legit every other time he was let down by our defense or playmakers.
@@jakekunz5168 the craziest part was that defense wasn’t even Drew’s best. I would go as far to say that it wasn’t even top 3. They just made plays when they had to and that’s all you need to do when your eventual HOF QB is in his prime and is whipping the ball around.

@@jacklewis2491 i'm sure drew brees was actually the mastermind of bountygate, convincing his defensive coordinator and defense to do all that. he really can do it all!

@@BaronVonBielski it was easily a push off, the things is, if PJ Williams isn’t looking back playing the ball just running behind him they won’t call it. He should’ve had his head around.
You should mention the key reason he threw so many interceptions in losing seasons was our only chance to win was if he threaded every possible needle. I like some QBs, he isn’t afraid to risk an INT if his team desperately needs big plays. A lot of the time it paid off, sometimes it didn’t, but it was a risk he absolutely had to take in order for the Saints to keep up with the opposing offense.

I'd argue that the Saints have had two 'dynasty' periods under Drew Brees, but they've been overlooked because despite being championship caliber in the regular season, they kept having the brass ring pulled away. In the same way that people often overlook the four years in a row under jim kelly that the bills lived in the SB as being a 'dynasty.'
from 2009-2013, Saints were a force to be reckoned with, barely losing to the 49ers, getting bested by the Seahawks a couple of times in close games, and while yes they went 7-9 in 2012, the ONLY reason they weren't superbowl contenders that year, based on the roster they had and any fan who watched the games that year will tell you, was the coaching; Payton should never have been punished for that ridiculous bounty scandal, and Kromer and Vitt didn't have a snowballs chance of keeping the fire lit.
And for the last 4 years, tell me there has been a single soul that would have been surprised to see the Saints in the SB? four years, four basically last second loses, Two straight robberies. and a lot of the defense collapsing in the playoffs, and not playing to even a quarter of their own regular season standards.
The saints had to go through two rebuild periods because of the front offices inability to draft or acquire defensive pieces or an offensive line, and as a result Drew having to play catchup for most of those years, and having to throw under significant pressure, to recievers that were similarly underappreciated. These problems were seemingly fixed with the 2017 front office changes, and one can hope that maybe even in a future without Drew they can be successful. If you measure a 'dynasty' only by championships, than no. But if you measure it by long term (3+ years) and consistently dominant performances, I would say the Saints have done it twice,
2012 was so historically bad. I've seen Patriots fans complain about their 2011 defense which they made the Superbowl with. While I admit their defense was pretty awful, the 2012 Saints we're so horrendous finishing 7-9 is a God damn accomplishment. The Saints defense gave up over 7000 total yards of offense. The Saints scored 28.8 points per game while their defense gave up 28.4 points per game. This is with Brees having a 5000 yard passing season, 43 TDs and 19 interceptions. Given this is a per game average, it essentially points to the Saints basically not being able to make any ground no matter how many times they scored because their opponent would score almost instantly, with one total fluke game against Tampa Bay where the defense somehow held them scoreless. 4 of their losses were 1 score or less with another 2 being by 10 points or less. But 7000 yards of offense and 48 total touchdowns surrendered to their opponents. Almost no hall of fame QB has ever had a defense that bad, even that famed 2011 Pats D wasn't that bad. They gave up 6500 yards and 39 touchdowns and 21.4 points per game. Matt Ryan's defense gave up 25.4 points per game when he was an MVP.
This is absolutely NOT true. Dynasties are defined by winning and that includes championships. If you have seasons where you're not even making the playoffs, then you aren't a dynasty.
Best QB in NFL history never to have won a MVP award.
With five 5k+ yrds in a season. I can see what Arod and Pat did but u mean to tell me not one of those years were worth a MVP.? Thats BS!

@@clark2501 drew brees was a very accurate passer
Watching that 2018 no-call is physically painful every single time as a Saints fan, even almost half a decade later.
Basically, no qb is perfect game to game no matter what fans and the media want you to remember. This is apparent when you show games where Drew struggled. The key is coming to together at the right time so that, even if the qb only plays mediocre, the team will play well overall and win. That did not happen much for Drew. More for some other guys. I always say the easiest way to win in the NFL regardless of qb performance is to protect the quarterback and sack the quarterback.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Every QB is gonna have a bad game. They even have multiple bad ones in a row. The difference is the margin for error, however. For a guy like Brees or Rodgers, it’s slim. For a guy like Brady, as long as he shows up for 1 or 2 quarters, he can play like ass the rest of the game and still likely win.
For just bad luck in playoff losses, you could also look at his lone playoff game on the Chargers in 2004 too. Almost a 74% completion percentage on 42 attempts for 319 yards and 2 TDs to 1 interception. Pretty solid game from him, but they lost in OT because his kicker missed a 40 yard field goal that would’ve won it. They then lost on the ensuing Jets possession after they marched 60 yards downfield to kick a 28 yard field goal. I know it’s not pertinent to the video considering it’s talking about the Saints years with him, but it just adds to the amount of bad luck he’s had in the postseason.
1 minute in and I already know the answer why Saints w/ Brees never went to more Super Bowls - our defenses.

Coming from a Saints fan, this answer is simple. They could never keep talent around him and never had a defense until his last few years. I know about 3 or 4 seasons that the Saints should've won the superbowl but they just couldn't get it together in the post season
As a Saints fan I love drew and i miss him
That last 5 minutes of that 2011 playoff game saints vs 49ers was insane
I got serious flashbacks to the 2nd Seahawks playoff game yelling at Colston to get out of bounds. Probably was still gonna be a losing situation but we'll never know bc he had to goof and throw the ball FORWARD
Brees is the 🐐 & I'll explain why.
- He's the most accurate QB in NFL history (Has 7 seasons with a 70% completion rate).
- Holds more single-game, single-season, & career accoldes than any QB in NFL history.
- He NEVER had a pro bowl/all pro WR until Thomas came along when Brees was just about out of his prime. (Peyton had Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Demaryous Thomas, & a prime Emmanuel Sanders, Brady had Moss for a few seasons & Welker, & Rodgers had Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Greg Jennings, & Davante Adams).
- He's had to carry his defense more than any QB in NFL history. (In terms of PPG, he's had only 4 top 10 defenses in 20 seasons so only 24% of his wins came with a top 10 defense. Brady on the other hand has 85% of wins with a top 10 defense).
- He also had A LOT of pass attempts in the seasons he threw for 5,000 yards which is one reason for the int total.
- He is 2nd all time behind Peyton in game winning drives & would be 1st if his defense didn't just blow so many games.
- He's came 2nd in the MVP voting 4 times & was blatantly robbed in 2009.
I could go on but moral to the story is that football is a TEAM sport so comparing QB's based solely on rings & wins is just flawed. For example, Brady has thrown 21 td's & 17 int's in 14 conference championship games but is 10-4 in them because of his defense keeping him in the game. Brady could afford to make mistakes in the playoffs unlike Brees because of his defense which is why Brady ranks 16th all time in playoff QB rating while Brees ranks 8th. Only guys ahead of him are Rodgers & QB's like Mahomes who haven't played many playoff games. If you don't AT THE LEAST have Brees in your top 5 then you're just a casual plain n simple.

@@hjdeville1030 I understand I'm a buc fan I hated Brady for years but when he came to tampa he demanded guys play at a high level
Many close playoff games get undue focus put on their heartbreaking endings rather than the game as a whole. The offense was great in the clutch, but many playoff games had the team fighting an uphill battle in which both the offense and the defense had to be amazing. The SF loss coming back from 17-0 deficit mainly because of turnovers, the Seahawks and Bears shutting out the offense, the 17-0 first half against the Minnesota Miracle Vikings game, the second Vikings game with only one touchdown before the 4th, and obviously the Tampa loss were all cases where the offense either didn't score to their potential, gave up key turnovers, or both in the first half. The heartbreak finishes in so many close, close games hides why they were so close in the first place.
It's important to note that a lot of the Saints' cap during the Payton-Brees era, space was spent on their offense. Not only was Brees very expensive, but he always had quite an expensive crew around him. As a life-long Saints fan, I'd hold the offense to a higher standard because that's where our money was. Our defense playing pretty good was way more than we expected most seasons, and the games our defense was on the field most of the game because our offense couldn't cobble a drive together felt exceptionally bad. There were many games the offense was off to an extremely slow start, leaving the defense out to stem the bleeding until Payton and Brees could figure the defense out. The games you blame on "being against a better team" are in my opinion more on the offense than the defense because of this. If the offense doesn't get going, the Saints aren't going to win. Saying "these defenses were legendary" is a post hoc justification for the legendary offense not finding a way to win.
Also, the style of the Saints' offense (especially early on) makes their defense perform worse. The defense was never stellar (esp on
Completely agree with you. Payton seemed to overthink himself in the postseason, especially during the final 4-year stretch. The offense would scorch the earth for 16 games then come out ice cold in the playoffs. The defense screwed up a lot, but 17-20 the offense looked like they had to pull out all the stops to even score 20 points. The 17 vikings had an amazing defense but getting shut out until halftime was pretty awful, the 18 Rams didn't even have a good defense and the Saints couldn't score more than 23 at home, the 19 vikings barely snagged the 7 seed and the Saints scored only 20.
Definitely respect how you laid this out. It’s a shame Drew only had one super bowl appearance and NO MVP rewards. Still best quarterback of all time to me.
Maybe the spotlight should be put on Sean Payton/Mickey Loomis for not having won more than one Superbowl with Brees. After the 2006 draft, free agency - way more swings and misses. Not until they brought Ireland on did they get better in the draft (2017). But not to be outdone, Payton came roaring back reaching in the draft, negating Ireland. Then when things were turned around, Playoff Sean Payton returned, choked in the playoffs abandoning the run time and time again.
As a saints fan this is going to hurt to watch 🤦🏽♂️
Great video! I enjoyed watching this!
Loved that little note you left to alshon for dropping that pass. Who knows what we could’ve done that year. :(
First thing that comes to my mind why they never became a dynasty was because their defense would never improve from over the years, they've had a lackluster defense for most of Brees's tenure!
Haven’t watched a second of it and I can tell you. The secondary lol
Also his ints. He had so many season where if he didn't throw 3 int games they'd have made the playoffs. But yeah the defense was bad.

@@itsthekid9815 make the playoffs to do what, Gen run off the field when your defense can’t stop a leak? The better a defense a QB has, the more margin for error he has. Brees had none for many years. Every QB has multiple games of 2-3 INTs, it’s an occupational hazard.

I blame Sean Payton just as much as the refs for 2018, they had already managed the clock poorly on that drive and mentally I always thought he let his team get so defeated from that call. Yes it was bad, but it was like they thought they already lost when they still had the lead, and then the ball in overtime...they could have and should have won that game anyway.
I’m not gonna lie, as a long time Saints fan, I’m kinda over Sean Payton. He gets propped up every year as some kind of mastermind (don’t get me wrong, he’s a solid coach) but in the 15 years he’s coached there with a first ballot hall of fame QB, we only have one Super Bowl to show for it, and a bunch of early playoff exits. The next few years I really feel like he’s gonna have to prove himself again...
Rogue Matter I 100% agree with you, Drew Brees is our savior and we constantly failed him. Makes me SICK
@@vsf_dave811 Same goes for Mike Tomlin now that Ben is retiring
Literally the most overlooked thing holding back the Saints, is injuries. We are the most injury prone team in history. And it’s horrible. Reggie’s career getting cut short, Marques Colston, Brees getting injured over and over. That alone is something that absolutely shattered our “dynasty”
All I know is that the best years of the Saints franchise were with Drew and Sean. They went from a long-time laughingstock to SB Champions and consistent playoff contenders for 15 years. I'll take that. The Saints had low ranking defenses back then with a superpowered offense led by Brees. He's HOF for a reason. Lebron James carried the Cavaliers and Drew carried the Saints.
If I had a nickel for every time Drew Brees’s dominant offense lead the Saints to a 13-3 record, only for them to miss out on a first round bye bc the 9ers and Packers were both better, I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

Still can’t believe we didn’t go to the Super Bowl in 2018 I really believe we were the better team and should have been there and won it drew should have had at least 4 Superbowls
If you're gonna judge a quarterback by rings, you're arguing that Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson are better than Philip Rivers and Dan Marino. Make that argument to someone who actually knows football, and see how quickly you get laughed at.
The thing about Rivers is that he had a great team in the 2000s. But played terrible in playoffs from 06-09, except in 08. Later got better in playoffs, but by then teams were not super bowl talent like they were from 06-09.
Brady fans got to realize that to win Super Bowls you have to have ATLEAST above average defenses Drew Brees and Peyton Manning won super bowls with below average defenses Tom Brady never has
Right and its a team effort one player cannot carry a team for an example deshaun watson was carrying the texans and they still finished 4-12 heck even the previous dynastys it took a team effort not one player or just the offense
It’s kinda funny how in my opinion Brady’s best playoff run was 2018 when he lost in the super bowl that was the only year he really didn’t get some fluky shit to prod him up and had to deal with what every other great quarterback had to

One of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game winning a super bowl very early in his career to look promising as the next great one only to never win another. As a packers fan i can concretely say ive never seen something like this since.
Brees should have had 3 wins. They should have beat the Rams and they would have beat the Pats and I say that as a Pats fan. Idk about beating KC but they would have made it and they wouldn't have ended up throwing the game at the end like the 9ers

I think adding time of possession as well as average drive time are important. When the defense is forced to 180 after a short 2-3 minute drive, they’re going to be exhausted and be more likely to give up yards and points. You may trash TB for dinking and dunking but the fact is that generates first downs which gives defenses rest. I don’t know the actual stats but what I remember about drew Brees is him getting downfield quick. Idk just a though 🤷♂️
They would’ve won 1 more super bowl if it weren’t for that missed PI call. Also I’m not a saints fan
He really had a lot of playoff heartbreaks, many of which were not his fault. I forgot how good that divisional game against the 49ers was. That was an underrated classic.
I can give you an answer after the first 51 seconds because Drew Brees for about 7 years for all intents and purposes carried the saints quite heavily

@Antonio Iniguez he's had pretty good offensobe talent we usually have good receivers the defense is usually the problem you can see it in the video
Drew also didn't play that well either in the post season. Payton also coached like shit in some of those post season games as well.
he had the best team the last 5 years. Drew Brees is not a closer
What about the last 3 years where he did not do shit with the best team in football I love him but he is a choke artist god bless our super bowl that he brought but the guy fucked us the last 3 years we would have been better off with him retiring 3 years ago

He's good, not great and THE LUCKIEST PLAYER TO EVER LIVE!
The majority of the Saints' history was sort of a parody of even a mediocre team. We've had some few notable to dominant people on our historical rosters (prior to 2006, The Sean Payton Era), such as Archie Manning, the Dome Patrol, Morten Andersen, Deuce McAllister, and so on... If I'm being honest, it's a miracle this franchise was never relocated from anytime between 1967 to 2005, as we've only appeared in the payoffs 5 times, with 1 win and 5 losses. It took us 32 seasons to get our first playoff win. I feel very lucky and grateful to have been born in the early 90s, being able to witness the best era of the Saints as a young teenager, and growing up with it to now, and having little true feeling of how it felt for older members of my family and friends who've followed the Saints since the old baghead days.
We've had plenty of playoff woes, plus a robbed NFC Championship. Despite this, I still see the entirety of the Sean Payton Era with fortune. We've become a notable and feared franchise. I see having a single ring as the icing on the cake. Plenty of legends who were on great teams never had that opportunity, such as Dan Marino, Randy Moss, and Barry Sanders. While I find it unfortunate that we never appeared in a second, third, or fourth Superbowl on otherwise legendary seasons, I'm just glad our team managed to get one.

This is a great video. Hope your channel grows.
Thanks barry! Can you do a deep dive why lebron is 4 and 6 in the finals? I think a deep dive in why philip rivers never made the superbowl would be cool too.
MJ>Lebron
2007: Shot poorly, committed as many turnovers as assists and was outplayed by Tony Parker.
2011: Looked extremely passive and disappeared in nearly every 4th quarter.
2014: the raw stats look decent but a lot of the points came out of reach. I don’t think he should get too much criticism for this finals. I’m pretty sure you put any other superstar in LeBrons position and the result would remain the same.
2015: obviously losing your 2 best teammates hurts tremendously. Losing that Game 4 was huge and then Curry going nuclear in Game 5 gave the Warriors all the momentum to close it out.
2017: facing arguably the greatest team of all time. Had an opportunity in Game 3 but Warriors are just too OP
2018: same thing except LeBron as a one man show can only do so much.
So while LeBron is 4-6 in the Finals which is obviously not something to be proud of. The teams he faced and some of the circumstances he himself faced were far too much to overcome hence why he was a massive underdog in 14, 15, 17, 18.

I think 2015 was when the Saints defense broke the record for yards allowed under Rob Ryan. So the Bills did the smart thing and hired him as defensive coordinator in 2016 and they wound up having one of their worst defenses in recent memory. Just a coincidence I'm sure.
We can't Guage success by Tom Brady standards. What he did is INSANE. He played in a super bowl ever other year for 20 years. He won 7 out of 10 appearances. That's so much success its suspect. It's sketchy. And the Patriots were caught cheating 5 times during the run. That's just what we know about. 2 superbowls is still extremely impressive. You also have to take account Joe Montana got his 4 pree free agency era. He had the benefit of a much longer window for a nucleus. Teams today have on average a 3 year window of optimum performance between rebuilds. Anyways. If you don't see my point you don't know football.
