Week 1Wrap-up: Saints 45, Lions 27Posted by ESPN.com’s Pat Yasinskas Let’s just get this out of the way now. I’ll go ahead and say Drew Brees is the best q For all those that want to rank him behind Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, your point is taken. But it just doesn’t have that much weight anymore. What Brees did last year and what he did in the season opener is just ridiculous. I’m in Tampa and didn’t get to see Brees and the Saints live because I was covering the Bucs and Cowboys. But I happened to look up at one of the televisions in the press box a little bit ago and some highlights of the Saints were coming on. I watched …and watched. I swear, it took like half an hour for them to show all six of Brees’ touchdown passes. Heck, he even threw a touchdown pass to Jeremy Shockey – and, then, he did it again. He also threw one to Heath Evans. Yeah, Manning and Brady are great. But I’ll take Brees.
