the Payton system that elevated Brees from a good QB in SD to an elite one here

Payton is instrumental, no doubt. But Brees is also that rare driven athlete that works himself to death to stay on top of his game. He outworks every other QB to overcome his limitations (size). I don't see him clubbing, smoking a doobie with the boys, etc. etc.

ETA: It would be nice to think Payton could mold another Brees, but I think he's a once-in-a-lifetime kind of player. Best I've ever seen, and I'm pretty damn old.

Brees was a #32 draft pick, the second QB after Vick. His performance in SD was good but not at the elite level we see now. My point is that this system prolly elevates any QB. Russell Wilson looks a helluva lot like Brees with the same off the charts intangibles. He landed in the right system tho. Another team and he might not have even won a starting job.

If Daniel who was UDFA and cut by the Redskins can turn into a 10 million dollar backup QB think what Payton could do with a higher upside 4th or 5th rder.
