Obviously the 757 is in the same class as the neos, but they could never have competed with them. Either Boeing continued selling ever more efficient 737s or they risked losing the entire segment to Airbus.

Upgraded versions of the even older 737 are competing with the neos just fine, if you go by sales placements.

Well, yes, exclusively because of the type rating.
