New Brees article (link)

braggbro1 · 05-26-2006, 09:03 AM

I'm new to this board but I've been reading it since the Saints signed Drew Brees. I'm a Purdue graduate and attended roughly the same years that Drew was there. I'm sure all the Saints fans are figuring out what Purdue fans have known for years (and what the GM of the Chargers apparently wouldn't accept) . . . that Drew Brees is a very good quarterback and an even better leader and person. I read this article this morning in the Lafayette Journal and Courier and thought you guys would enjoy it. Nothing that hasn't already been said before, but it reinforces the fact that Drew "gets it" unlike so many other professional athletes.

I'm a Colts fan but Drew Brees will always have a special place in my heart as a Purdue fan. Without a doubt, the Saints made the right decision in getting Drew and I believe they will easily be the most improved team in the NFL next season.

Thanks braggbro for the article. I remember about six or seven years ago turning the channel on the TV trying to find something to watch. There was a game on it was Purdue it was under two minutes in the game, and Purdue had the ball and was behind. The QB dropped back to pass, and he knew he was going to get crushed, but he threw the ball anyway, and he took a shot right on the chin. The pass was completed for TD an Purdue won the game. The reason I say this is because that was the day i became a fan of Drew Brees, and i have never stopped being a fan ever since. He was my favorite player in the league before he became a Saint. I live in M.S. and here in the near future i will have the chance to meet him, and I look forward to that day.
