Seriously - look at his run from 2008 through 2016
That's a nine year run where he AVERAGED 5,000 passing yards and 37 scores/season. There have been twelve 5,000 yard seasons in league history and Brees has five of them. And if you era-adjust it, in his last 5k yard season (2016) he'd turned the trick for the 5th time - the rest of the league had done it 4 times in league history combined.
So as his prime ended, he had more 5K yard passing seasons than every other quarterback in league history put together.
He's the career leader in passing yards and passing touchdowns and is 3rd all time in Quarterback rating.
I mean it's REALLY hard to argue that he hasn't been the best regular season quarterback of all time. Dude has practically re-written the record book.
