Drew Brees still has not done enough to be recognized as an all-time great, apparently.
The New Orleans Saints veteran signal caller — who recently became the all-time passing touchdown leader and currently holds the records for passing yards, pass completions and many others — is not on the NFL’s All-Time Team.
According to the Times-Picayune/New Orleans Advocate, a 26-member panel of team executives, coaches, former players and media made the selections, which did not include the 40-year-old Saints quarterback.
Since the league is celebrating it's 100th year, the list encompassed greats of the NFL's past, like Sammy Baugh, Otto Graham, Johnny Unitas, and the recent past, like Brett Favre.
The only active quarterback to make the cut was New England Patriots' Tom Brady.
The NFL was quick with a consolation excuse saying more current quarterbacks will be able to earn the honor as time goes by.
• Sammy Baugh
• Tom Brady
• John Elway
• Brett Favre
• Otto Graham
• Peyton Manning
• Dan Marino
• Joe Montana
• Roger Staubach
• Johnny Unitas
If it’s any consolation, four-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Terry Bradshaw of the Pittsburgh Steelers isn’t on the list.
Neither is New York Jet and Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath, who famously predicted a Super Bowl III win, then went out and did it.
