Drew Brees for the Hall of Fame?

A lot of questions have been answered with the Saints winning the Super Bowl last night. 

One has been created.

Now that he has won the big game, is Drew Brees going to be an Hall of Fame candidate?

Here are his career numbers

64.8% completion rate
30,646 yards
202 TD's
110 Int's

Nice numbers, especially for only having completed 9 season.  The ratios get even better when you look at his numbers since he came to play for Sean Payton in New Orleans.  But, since he is bound to slow down as he ages, missing some games, and losing some ability, we will use his over all numbers to average out the rest.

Let's assume he plays till he is 36.  that will give him 5 more years.

47672 yards
314 TD's
171 Int's

As Impressive as those numbers look on paper, I think he is going to need more than 5 years.  With the stats that are being put up by QB's I don't see anyone been a lock with less than 55,000 yards and/or 350 TD's.

He is a great players, and could do it easy in the Saints offense if he can stay healthy, but another decade is going to be a challenge for a guy who has already had shoulder surgery.

Either way, congrats Drew.

The "Aints" are DEAD.
