    Man. The implications of the Dolphins medical suits signing off on him and Nick Saban either having a successful nfl career or going somewhere other than Bama is fascinating

    There was a question on whether he would ever be able to throw properly, directly after the injury. Huge risk with the severity of the tear. His play was extremely erratic and he got benched 3 times which pushed SD to draft Rivers. Its insanity the career he had post injury. While his play was still erratic until he retired, the numbers and the fact he won a Super Bowl is awesome.

    Ill always have Brees’ back, he stated he wanted to play his whole career as a Charger and win a SB. He made me root for The Saints as a side team.

    I guess Drew decided to test the second alternative in Sandy Koufax’s famous retirement speech about choosing to give up a large amount of money to maintain the use of one’s arm

    Yeah? There are plenty of us who have had our bodies destroyed by our jobs. Most of us aren’t multi-millionaires though… lol

    I worked at the place he stayed while he rehabbed. A lot of players owe their careers to Dr. Andrews. Chad Pennington is another. He’s a really nice guy, my dad used to pick him up from the airport until he got his own driver for our area.

    Crazy it’s been twenty years now.

      Put on a hip replacement and old grandpa can bike again, until the mush gives him cobalt poisoning, operations don’t have to fix things forever.
