How come people pretend that Drew Brees chose New Orleans over Miami?

[Juggalo Fred]

Eh. Brees hit FA and was a 25 TD/15 INT player at the time with a career threatening shoulder injury.

Basically Eli Manning. That's sounds blasphemous but we have to remember him BEFORE the Saints. He wasn't that good.

He was amazing in 04 and in college. people knew this.

In college.

I remember him being the man at Purdue. he's the last relevant QB from there.

then the 04 chargers season was off the chains

Naw he was nice on the Chargers too

The Chargers gave up on him too early but once they drafted Rivers Brees became became a really good qb

Hes the reason Rivers sat his first couple years and they were talking about possibly trading Rivers before Brees got hurt in his contract year

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

This is how I remembered it
Anyways being from B1G territory I knew Drew was destined for greatness Purdue actually had a nice run on qbs back then

Purdue was slinging it back then, everything B10 football wasn't.



edit: Sorry breh

To be fair, I don't think anyone saw Drew Brees becoming what he became in New Orleans.
A dude coming off that kind of injury who was just 30-28 as a starter in San Diego....80 TD, 53 INT

Let's be real, he wasn't a bum but did you really think he'd churn out 5,000 yard passing seasons back then?
Before he got to New Orleans he never even threw for 4,000.

NO was a good mix of luck and fit.

I certainly didn't. Even in Cillege I thought he was meh. He showed me.

 

[OGBobbyJohnson]

Saban talked about this in the first few mins

Choose Daunte Culpepper over Drew Brees brehs

You thought Drew Brees was "meh" in college?!?! Based on what, exactly??

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Because he did

@b. woods where was you for backup in here?

There was nothing that jumped out at me. Just a solid QB.

Drew Brees was one of the best players in Big Ten history. He stood out from his very first start at Notre Dame. To each his own, though.

He was clearly good but I wasn’t watching him like “wow”
