In what is certainly a landmark media occurrence, in this week's Monday Morning Quarterback, the lofty, heavily overcaffeinated, thoroughly befavred Peter King had this to say . . .

I have my own problems with McNabb. I don't consider him on the Manning-Brady-Brees plane.

That's the first time I've ever seen an unqualified inclusion of Drew Brees in the top tier. As little quality recognition as he gave the Saints last year ("Not bad for #24!"), you gotta hand it to the old Latte' Guzzler.

Although one might argue that the billing should be "Brees-Brady-Manning" for "sayability" and to acknowledge the best of the three.
