Drew Brees Weighs in on Saints' Tyler Shough, QB Battle After Derek Carr Retirement

Drew Brees, second on the NFL's all-time passing yards and touchdowns lists, knows quarterback talent when he sees it.
And even though he admitted he hasn't taken a deep dive into film on New Orleans Saints rookie QB Tyler Shough, Brees still likes what he sees.
quote:
”I haven't really dove deep to take a look at his college film. I think what's impressive to me is, the kid has faced a lot of adversity and he's overcome it every step of the way.
"Obviously spent a lot of time in college. Three years at Oregon, three years at Tech and one year at Louisville. I love [Louisville coach] Jeff Brohm. Jeff Brohm was Purdue's head coach for a long time. Developed Aidan O'Connell and a few others. So he's kind of known as one of those guys who can develop QBs. And obviously, Tyler Shough really thrived in that offense with him last year."
quote:
"I think [Shough's] big, strong, tough, standing there. Deliver the ball, take shots. Had three season-ending injuries in college—Honestly, a lot of similarities to Taysom Hill. Taysom Hill was one of those guys coming out of college who had spent four, five years in college and had some major injuries. But man, whenever he played, he played really, really well."
quote:
"So, we'll see how this thing shakes out," Brees said. "I'm not giving anybody the job right now. I know we went out and drafted Tyler Shough in the second round but I'm sure Haener and Rattler have something to say about that. Competitions bring out the best in everybody. I'm sure Kellen's excited to mold these guys."

And Taysom went undrafted due to his injuries and age…..

And has been our best player at times for years now, especially last year. What’s it matter how old you are or where you are drafted if you are good?

You sure those were the only factors that led him to being undrafted?

Seems like a complete coach speak/puff piece to be fair. Looking for content in May.

The Saints didn't draft a QB 40th overall to have him sit the bench
I'm shocked it wasn't a Jazzy Jeff piece

That’s a Brees specialty. Still interesting to see what he has to say about the QB situation.

Surprised he didn't bash the Saints for not taking Sanders with his propensity to cave

drew's candid answers are the opposite of coach speak. was honest about his knowledge and parts lacking there of. talked about the coaching tree connections and then went into a comparison not many have delved into. but i get it, you're a dumb ignorant miserable bitch so that is your take.

Probably time you take another extended break for your mental health little buddy. We know you need to do it from time to time. Your posts are getting decidedly angrier and angrier and you obviously can’t handle this.
Or get back on your meds. Whatever

You’re such an angry little man
Let it all out Chad. It’s good for you. Message boards are very serious business and Godamnit sometimes you just gotta rip into someone. I’m here for you so you won’t have to run away again.

I don’t think Shough has fallback options like Hill if he fails at QB

Agreed. Brees is pretty hard wired to give cookie cutter responses in interviews. Even then the only names he referenced as similar were Taysom and Aidan O’Connell

Jeez man. Get over it already. Move on. Brees did 100000X more good for the saints and the city than that one singular event which I would argue he was put in a lose lose situation and I think we can all see that he was in a tough spot there. Its time to move on, man.
