In 2004, coming off an injury in 2003, Drew Brees was the NFL Comeback Player of the Year. He had 27 TD’s, 7 INT’s and threw for nearly 3500 yards (pretty solid numbers back then). He also finished 5th in OPOY voting and did this while playing in a freaking MARTYBALL offense! He was NOT a bust.
The talent was always there. Playing for a coach who had a 70’s offensive mindset is what held him back.
