"But that shouldn't take away from how good the quarterbacks like Tom, Peyton and Aaron are," Brees said. "It's probably also a credit to how sophisticated the offenses are and how great the athletes are, but remember that the athletes are on both sides of the ball. I think there are probably a lot of things that contribute to that, but it's clear that you are witnessing some of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game out there right now, and they are throwing to some of the greatest athletes to ever play the game. And you throw that all together and you get the numbers that you are seeing right now."
