Last night Drew Brees broke the long standing single season passing record
held by Dan Marino for 27 years.
Wow.
Personal computers hardly existed then.
The Compact Disc was just becoming mainstream.
My dad probably had hair back then, although highly debatable.
Regardless, a record that old means it is an extremely difficult feat
and DrewB9 has made it look effortless.
Also tying an NFL record for 6 straight 300 yard passing games,
(and 12 total in a season)
Drew Brees has thrown for 5,087 yards with still one game in the season
and has quietly solidified himself as one of the elite quarterbacks of this era.
I admit that I often forget about #9 in the talk of top quarterbacks,
often citing Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, etc..
But Superbowl winner and now record setter Drew Brees
should remain among the top of all those lists.
Congrats to a great competitor.
