You didn’t even mention his worst mistake...Dunking Donuts in LA, who could possibly think that was a good idea.

Do you have any more news stories to share with us? Your intelligence shined when you were sharing all that highly accredited article

I do agree that he has limited intelligence. The whole jewelry investment thing speaks to that. I mean he seems like some dude from Zachary who thinks buying cases of baseball cards is the ticket to easy street.
I think Brees is very football smart but he is also the product of a system where if he follows directions he gets the job done.

You don’t graduate from Purdue and break every NFL passing record at 6 feet tall and be intelligent

Based on what?

He does do intelligent things. One of them being QB but also he trusts his advisors. For example, to choose things like Purdue for his degree over Kentucky. and then I mean if you even look at his degree "industrial management" it makes the case that he was thinking he would end up being a foreman on a construction site. Just a strong case for simple intelligence, good at following and dishing out orders

Why would you do this to yourself?

He wasn't scammed by some jewelry salesmen and Newton is smart enough to realize that jewelry is not an investment.

Got a 28 on the Wunderlic. That's average at best in overall society, pretty good for the NFL

No one is saying he’s Einstein. Op is acting like he’s a functioning retard.

I don't think that, but I also think he's generally not that smart, doesn't mean he's not a football savant. Just giving info.

functioning retard? He's good at his job

He’s athlete smart which, much like athlete funny, has to be taken in its own context.

Cam "Isaac" Newton really showing off his intelligence right there

He only had two scholarship offers. Kentucky and Purdue.
He chose Purdue because of academics.
He has donated millions to Purdue to help with their academics.
Also, while at Purdue Brees was a Two-time Academic All-America®
• 2000 Academic All-America® of the Year (across all university division sports)
Drew Brees was also inducted into the CoSIDA Academic All-America® Hall of Fame at the 2016 convention in Dallas, Texas.
Both Brees and Peyton Manning scored the same wonderlick score of 28.
A few ago Brees was ranked around 11th smartest in the NFL.
From that ranking

Like Gerhart, Brees was praised at the NCAA level for his academic achievement. He was named the Academic All-America Player of the Year in his senior year at Purdue, and graduated in 2001 with a degree in industrial management. The Chargers let Brees walk away via free agency in 2005 because of concerns they had about the severity of his shoulder injury. New Orleans took a chance on the quarterback, in a move that turned out to be one of the greatest free agent signings of all time. The Super Bowl champion as a member of the Saints was voted the league’s second-smartest player by Sports Illustrated in 2010.
