Rodgers didn't make it either, but he I think is more understandable than Brees. 

The 10 QB's selected were Sammy Baugh, Tom Brady, John Elway, Brett Favre, Otto Graham, Peyton Manning, Dan Marino, Joe Montana, Roger Staubach, and John Unitas.

I just don't get Brees omission even recognizing the vote was in May 2018 (so 2 seasons ago), I just can't see how Brees isn't a top 10 QB of all time.  He is 1st all time in passing yards and passing TD's (and is just 15th in INT's).  He is 3rd all time for passer rating.  He has a Superbowl win.  Very shocking to see him not make the top 10. 

Bradshaw was also left out which seems strange given all of his Superbowl wins.

Yeah, that's pretty disrespectful for my mind.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

Yeah leaving out Brees is crazy, but the only mark against him and it’s obvious not his fault is that he has spent most of his career playing in a dome. Imagine how good Brady’s career stats would be if he played over half of his games with no snow, wind or rain?

I can’t believe Brett Favre made that list.

Him and John Elway shouldn't be there and should be replaced with Brees and Rodgers.

Brees gets left off because of the Dome.  His stats out side aren't as good.  How much it should count?  I don't know but people look at that and think lesser of him, right or wrong.  Brett Favre should not be on that list.

Only change I would make would be Brees for Favre.

I’d probably have put Brees over Elway but think the rest of the list is fine.

Rodgers doesn’t belong on it.

I agree, although I can’t meaningfully debate Staubach vs. Bradshaw.

I think it’s actually a pretty solid list. I don’t know who you replace to get Brees in. 

If they went up to 12, I think two of Brees, Young, & Rodgers get in.  I certainly don’t think it’s egregious that Brees got left off. I think he’s hovering right at the cutoff.
