One step further, by his own example of leadership and dedication, Brees has earned that level of respect from the Saints to be included and have weight in those offensive teammate personnel decisions...

Best example of a High Level of Trust in a franchise player is exemplified in the film North Dallas Forty based on the book by former Cowboy Peter Gent and adventures with his QB 'Dandy' Don Meredith...

Late in the film QB Seth Maxwell (Mac Davis) argues with Head Coach B. A. Strother (G. D. Spradlin), based on Tom Landry, to set aside pride and some draconian team rules in a key division late season game...

B.A. after some other failed decisions relents to his QB and lets the reliable hands of Phil Elliott (Nick Nolte) out of the dog-house and into a game-winning drive - this would be the Level of Trust I'm referring...
