Does anyone really care about the new TD record Brees set?

I think it's neat to break a record that's been around that long. If you break it down he has thrown a touchdown every game for almost 4 years. I think its does compare well to dimaggio as far as doing it every game. or Equate that to a pitcher having 47 straight quality starts. Football isn't as staty as MLB but this is an awesome streak. I don't think we will truly grasp it till it ends.

Baseball is a game of stats and records.
Football is a game of rings.
Football has some important stats, but this is not one of them. Congrats to Brees, but it's not going to be in his top-10 for his career of noteworthy items.

I find it to be a statistically impressive anomoly, much like if a basketball player played 40 games with a made freethrow in each, or a ball player (infielder) who threw someone out at first base 50 games in a row. Statistically cool? Sure, meaningful in any significant way? I do not think so...

That would be like asking ,What is the record for a pitcher having a strike out in consecutive games
I agree Clint.
The fact that the record was over 50 years old speaks volumes.
Flashy? Maybe not so much. Impressive? You bet your arse!
Some of the comparisons being tossed around here are simply ridiculous.

I think it is meaningless. Who cares, wow he threw a td pass in 5 straight games to start the year and break the record. The result was 1win....

Should we take all of emmit smiths yards away in games he didn't win? Losing games take nothing away from the feat.. If anything it adds to the feat knowing that his offense continues to function at a consistent level while the defense is in shambles!

Any team but the Saints and this would be big headlines . Glad he did break the record but I find it hard to compare older games to this era .

Never said losing takes anything away from the feat, it does show that the feat is just a meaningless individual record. Which is why I don't care.

and with their defense, he'll have to throw more td passes in games to get a 2nd win.
why did i pick cam newton over him in my fantasy league this year? should've stuck with brees again.
