this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I don't know if this has been posted, but I think it gives some good information: Saints officials and a quarterback-turned-orthopedic surgeon concede that signing a passer just 69 days removed from shoulder surgery comes with inherent risks. "But," General ...

Brees' Recovery
I don't know if this has been posted, but I think it gives some good information:
I also love his attitude, when he says that his doubters will be "eating their words." |

RE: Brees
Remember when Jerry Rice came back from his "season ending" injury in record time? Rice was a player that worked hard on and off the feild and did what most doctors said couldn't be done. I see the same additude in Brees, I really beleive he wants to play every down this year.

i've been reading up on QBs with torn labrums.
It happened to Phil Simms. He said this about Brees- "I do not think it's a big long-term worry (for Brees)," he said. "I think he'll overcome it, and I think he'll be 100 percent by the time they go to training camp next year." Simms said he couldn't understand why anyone would question the identity of the Chargers' starting quarterback in 2006 – Brees. "Why wouldn't he be the starter?" Simms said. "I'm reading all these things, should Philip Rivers or Drew Brees be the quarterback for the San Diego Chargers and I'm really floored by some of it. I'm just going, 'What are they thinking of?' "You have a franchise quarterback that's (had) back-to-back years that have been terrific. He's learned to throw the ball better, he's a pretty good athlete – he's one of these guys that's a much better athlete than people give him credit for. I don't get it. But you know, I don't get it a lot of times. ---- Kelly Holcomb and Rich Gannon are two others I have found who returned successfully after a torn labrum. |
