Drew Brees vs Peyton Manning

Drew Brees is projected to break Peyton Manning’s all-time passing record in Manning’s hometown, New Orleans, Louisiana. The city is sure to erupt in celebration – that’s what they’re famous for; If and when the Saints legend notches 201 passing yards, passing over Manning’s career yardage record against Washington on Monday night in New Orleans.

There will likely be a debate about where Brees ranks for all time. Lately Tom Brady is considered tops, for good reason. So where does Brees belong in relation to Manning? All respect to both passers, but you just can’t pick who is better.

Yes, Manning has two Super Bowl victories and four Super Bowl appearances. He has two Hall of Fame careers, one in Denver and one in Indianapolis.The two football stars met in one Super Bowl, in 2010, and the Saints won that. Brees, with 32 completions (out of 39 attempts), two touchdowns and no interceptions, was named MVP.
