The New Orleans Saints quarterback passed for 5,476 yards in 2011, breaking Hall of Famer Dan Marino's single-season passing yardage record of 5,084 yards set in 1984. Brees almost broke Marino's record during the 2008 season, when he threw for 5,069 yards. Another NFL quarterback also surpassed Marino's mark during the 2011 season -- New England's Tom Brady, who threw for 5,235 yards.

Who should you start at quarterback week 4. Drew Brees or Aaron Rodgers?

Answer:You would be ignorant to start Brett Farve! Drew Brees is clearly the better quarterback in this situation.You should definitely start Drew Brees. Every game he gets huge yards and most of the time at least one touch down if not more. He will score huge points for your team.You should definitely start Drew Brees because he is just killing in every game. He's going to take the Saints to the Super Bowl.Drew Brees is doing great. He throws at least 2 touchdown passes a game, and is also the one of two Q.B. to have beaten every single NFL team.Drew Brees is awesome even though of there three game losing streak. I think The saints were just to over confident. they just need to settle down and get Reggie Bush in a few more plays so they have less picks.
