This is a guy who's knock was a weak arm, and he's not working out every day to get it stronger? I haven't completely left the draft Leinart camp, but I'm at the edge and peering into the other camps to see what going on in them.

I don't know what you read about Leinart's pro day, but what I read said that everyone was impressed with his accuracy, touch, field presence and leadership. They also said they were impressed by his mobility, which is not something he's known for.

No matter, I agree with the sentiments in this thread. The article feels a bit more like drama than reality, but Brees seems to be a high character guy. I am concerned by his chasing of guaranteed money. His shoulder is risky. We paid too much. Despite all these things, I feel that if you're going to take a risk like this he SEEMS to be the right kind of guy to take the risk on.

I sincerely hope all the leadership hype in the article is real. This team needs an on-the-field leader more than anything else right now. Brees COULD be that guy.
