As a Saints fan, born and raised in New Orleans, Drew quite literally saved my city's franchise. Looking at the state of the franchise now. He was so underrated. Criminally underrated.
He Saved The Franchise And Our Cities Hope. Gotta Love That Dude Bruh.
Going through his accomplishments I noticed they never said he won MVP? Is that true? If it is then that’s a damn shame.
@bentover5743 he should have won in 2009, but yes. I believe Brees finished with the most second place MVP spots in history, at four.
@@bentover5743packers fan but there’s at least 2 years you can argue drew got robbed.
💯 facts!!! I’m from Chalmette “30 minutes from the dome” and it was just the perfect prescription for what we needed after Katrina. People who weren’t Saints fans b4 became Saints fans after that season… LOL the Gleason punt block was epic!!! Atl. and Mike Vic owned us b4 that game. Everyone had 2 things in common. We lost everything and we loved the Saints
Drew Brees, criminally underrated and gave his all to the game 😤
FACTS
FRFR
Only bc he played during the Brady/Manning era. Dude is an easy 1st ballot hofer
I agree with the second part of your statement, but I’ve quite literally never met somebody who doesn’t rate him. Let’s settle down a touch. He’ll be a 1st ballot HOFer and he deserves to be.
@@Quakerman14 Should be Brady/Brees/Manning era
Drew Brees is a G said he was too small, had no arm strength etc. finished with the most passing yards in NFL history when he retired ( since broken by Brady ) took a losing culture like the Saints won a super bowl built a winning culture he became a legend. Can't dislike Brees at all.
meh, there are things to hate. For example, Drew Brees supports a religious group called "Focus on the Family" which is anti-LGBTQ. The group tries to do “conversion therapy” with gay people.
Nah it was easy to dislike him once he turned his back on America and started kneeling. Good for him
@@TzUuupyou must be a closet racist with that type of comment smh
@@TzUuuphe was against kneeling.......
Bro as an American and a veteran I have never felt not kneeling even tho brees didn't do it was disrespectful of America. It was to bring attention to issues. Sure not the best place and time to do it. But had to be done and it was the most visible way so I get it.
Imagine having your shoulder taken out of place and tearing part of it, then becoming arguably the most accurate thrower in NFL history
I have dislocated my right shoulder so often and it gives me fits, yet listening to that doc discussing his injury to his shoulder made me say 'holy shit.' That man has always been a gamer. Truth is, the shit people gave him when he was retiring from the Saints pissed me off. He gave so much to that city.
The disrespect my boy drew gets is ridiculous.
Colts fans after the luck thing made me hate colts fans.
It freaking disgusted me at how quickly fans were turning on him.
That's the first I've heard that the Saints fans were pissed that Drew retired. Dude was 42 years old, played 20 seasons, and threw for over 80,000 yards. He put in his work and it's a reasonable decision to retire then. I guess the people's brains are wired differently in that part of the country.
@@timbrown5576 it wasn't the retirement but a statement he made about not kneeling and honoring the flag.
Drew was a QB to the NFL, but he’s a super hero to Nola. This dude came into a battered city, made it his home, and gave hope to people that had just lost everything. He’ll forever be a historical LEGEND within the state of Louisiana!
Yeah Im from nola and you wouldn’t believe how many fans cheered for us in Mississippi, Memphis and all the way in even Bama. Its crazy how much those Saints teams meant to the region
He is definitely a first round HOF pick. This guy was a great player, great humanitarian and role model.
That last look back broke my heart. He said goodbye and so did the team’s success we miss you Drew who dat
We dat
That "living in the wrong dimension" line was 🔥🔥. That's crazy about those dudes, idk how I've never heard about that before. Great job as always Flem.
Ain't that crazy??
we need a Brady Feigl video!
His speeches always use to fire me up growing up playing football. He is one of my favorite players and his story of overcoming adversity will always be motivational. Thanks for covering his story flem.
This really shows that QB comes down to choices with the ball and not so much arm strength. As a saints fan thank you for showing love to our goat.
Yeah its amazing when a guy can launch a 60 yard touchdown pass, but that alone is not going to make a great QB.
Thank you for this. I live in Baton Rouge and grew up a Saints fan. I defended our franchise for YEARS. I hated that commentators and fans talked about how Drew was "noodle arm" and xyz in his last 2 years but failed to mention that he was AMAZING all those years after the big injury. He was already playing on borrowed time and to play at that level after such an injury was already a miracle.
Representin Sherwood nugga
Honestly prime Bree’s was a gunslinger man he was a accurate gunslinger didn’t have a outstanding arm but he could chuck it 60 if the chance was there
Devery Henderson jimmy graham an colston were no joke an even at the end of his career when he had Ted gin jr he chucked it up a lot
Flemlo stays dropping the most well said and quality sports videos out on any platform 🙌🏽
I totally agree!
Yea I’ve been subscribed for years and have never heard bruh say anything crazy or dumb …. He’s very good at what he does 💯
Best in the business
Dudes the reason I became a saints fan. He’s one of the OG gun slingers. Also, on a side note…
His pregame chants were 🔥!!!
What's so cool about his chants is that he was an avid military supporter and he got alot of it from visiting bases. His sacrifice is a reflection of that. Brees is the walking embodiment of "slow is smooth , smooth is fast." I miss those chants, I miss him. This brought tears to my eyes. 😢😊 joyful tears.
Thank you for this video us saints fans needed this. It's rough watching my boys now
Ngl my Rams robbed y’all 😅
LOL, this is southern hospitality. We’re gonna like and comment when we’re on some community shit… Saints were what the city needed after Katrina! These Saints just aren’t the same and yea, tough to watch
@@marcelinomartinez2845they did, we play yall Thursday night in a few weeks. Saints better get revenge
Word
Y'all will be okay. Just got to get your cap situation fixed
Ever since he won the SB back in 2010 I’ve always respected Brees as one of top QBs in the game. HOF one of the best to ever do it.
How the cheating breaking peoples bones on purpose defense won that and they shouldve gotten it taken away.
@@jimboshrumpwhat? Drew Brees had nothing to do with that…….also every team had a bounty gate including the Vikings look it up. Your misinformed
@@jimboshrumpevery team did that back in the day, saints were the scapegoat bc Roger Godell doesn’t like them (example 2018 nfc championship game vs the rams)
@@jimboshrumpyou realize you need offense to win too. So by ur logic every Super Bowl should be taken away if someone gets hurt right? Lmaooo Vikings fans are delusional
@@jimboshrumpVikings had a bounty gate in 2009 too. Look it up. Brett Farve the man himself admitted it
Saints fan here… Salute to this man. Brees brought hope to the people of New Orleans and Louisiana. Great man and intense competitor
As a lifelong Saints fan this one really had me quite emotional. I grew up with the team being embarrassments and I could never express how much it meant to me to get to watch the Saints win it all in 09 and get to share that with my mom and pops after them following the team from its inception. Especially watching what's currently become of the Saints, I really believe I enjoyed every moment of the Brees / Payton era and took none of it for granted. I will never get over the no call - largely because it's so controversial that it's impossible to get over as it gets referenced often. But more than for myself or our fan base, I feel the worst about it for Drew. As the video said, he gave it all, and had the chance for the 2nd ring more or less stolen from him. He's a legend.
I can't say much else other than thank you for this video bro. I hate to know how much Drew had to sacrifice to bring that trophy home and keep trying to get another. But I believe he'd make the same decision eternally if he had to.
They will never understand or feel our pain and what we went thru during those years. We should name Poydras Street: Andrew Christopher Brees Ave.
Lee's square would be Brees' square if not for that blown call.@@fonzarelly3154
I’m glad he’s finally getting the praise he’s deserved for a decade. I became a saints fan in 07 when I was 11 years old because I started playing JR tackle and I liked the colors of the saints (still think they’re the best colors in the NFL) and have only known Drew Brees as the QB. I didn’t realize how spoiled we were until the last few years. I would still take Drew throwing lefty over Carr or Winston. Great video as always Flem
Yeah Carr is not the guy, and we have a ton of coaching/management issues. Winston though, he can ball if you build the offense around him. He certainly isn’t the best, but I’d probably take him over Carr. Honestly wish we had Burrow 😂 love that dude
Tell me about it.
@@cowtowncaptain7649noooooo no no.
They both need to go. Along with MT.
My Goat #9
I always like when people have their own goats instead of the consensus answers. My goat is favre.
Brees and Alex Smith were my two favorite QBs after Peyton Manning and the QBs of my two teams.
Me and my now since passed away childhood bestfriend loved watching Brees who was his favorite QB if his favorite team.
RIP Eric Dunaway 🙏
Well said - Alex Smith does not get the recognition he deserves - hopefully that time will come.
Thank you bro. A lot of us saints fans feel shafted because that man does not get the credit he deserves. He put my whole state on his back. He’s a real one
Without sacrifice, you will never be great.
bless Drew Brees , i hope he has a great post nfl life . Hes given my family and other families many memories over the years watching him play . Flem lo with the best nfl content again !
When I tell you we miss Drew😢 THE GREATEST SAINT EVER. WE LOVE YOU DREW & THANK YOU FOR GIVING SO MUCH TO US❤
nah this is real i played baseball at a mid major and ended up tearing my labrum and both spinatus muscles, similar to brees. the recovery from those is brutal. my right arm still doesnt feel the same and even ended up with some nerve damage. couldnt imagine coming back from that and having as long a career as he did
As a Rams fan, I give that game to the Saints in all honesty. I thought this even before we won SB56. But yeah, I’d have been fuming, fumingggg.
As a metro New Orleans native, this video gave me tears. It reminded me of what this man did to prove those who doubted him, his team, and the city he played for. In 2006, the first full year after Katrina, Drew took a chance and gave us his everything. I've always hated how he's underated and how he was stolen the chance at another championship. My hearts out for Drew in these later years of life. He gave us everything man, I mean everything.
Yeah could say he had 3 playoff games stolen from him if you count the Beastquake & Minneapolis Miracle
yeah he never did suit up to play defense or special teams. I guess that's where he could've tried harder 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Because this is comments, I want to be clear, I'm trying to be funny here, and in NO WAY am I saying Drew didn't try hard enough@@nomo87314
Hurts to see MY GOAT like this.
He definitely deserved more in his career.
Brees really put an entire city on his back right when they needed it most and sacrificed so much. He deserves so much more credit and in my honest opinion should be in that big 3 conversation instead of Rodgers. Aside from that he did everything the right way and carried himself with so much class. Just impossible to dislike.
Make it a big 4
Been there. Injured mine 20 years ago the next morning couldn’t even pick it up to throw darts it eventually healed, but there was some days something would happen (sleep on my side), and would have to isolate and let it rest for 3 to 4 days and pop pain pills. Let it go to the point I couldn’t even lift my arm to change the radio station or put a shirt on no matter what I did. got my shoulder replaced and I’m mad at myself for not doing it sooner. The recovery was only a few weeks.
Just curious, how does a replaced shoulder feel compared to your virgin pre-injured shoulder? Does it feel natural, and furthermore are you able to do high intensity weight bearing with it?
Thank you Drew Brees for everything you sacfrificed for us Saints fans. We will never forget you and the city of New Orleans and state of Louisiana will always love you
Not just us but the whole Gulf Coast really .
Great vid Flem! I got a lot of love and appreciation for what Brees did out there during his career. I’ve never stepped foot in and don’t think I even know anyone from Louisiana, but Brees had me rooting for the Saints on a weekly basis. I doubt another QB will be able to take his place as my favorite QB, and that means a lot from someone who grew up a Denver Broncos fan.
Yo videos the truth bro . Much respect 💯💯✊🏾drew Brees was my favorite QB and the reason I became a saints fan in 06. Then he led them to the championship game they lost against the bears. So many heartbreaks I endured as a saints fan lol he should definitely have 1 or 2 more rings
This is eye opening and heartbreaking at the same time. I respect the hell outta Drew on so many levels. From the game to off the field to how he views the doc and all that. Pure class
Drew Brees and Philip rivers are so underrated
I never had an injury like Brees, but I did have a spiral fracture of my fibula with associated "partially torn" ligaments. I was in a cast, non weight bearing, for a loooooooong time. I was 19. The doctor was up front with me, said I was within 1mm of needing surgery to put a screw in and that I had a decision to make. Keep playing football and basketball, or walk when I was 50. I'm 57 and just went on a 5 mile hike this past Sunday. And.....that ankle just started with the arthritis this year. For me, who was never going to become a pro athlete, giving up the game was an easy decision. I can't imagine what Brees had to go through to keep playing.
Drew will always be my favorite player and QB. Grew up as a Saints fan due to him and being born and raised in Louisiana my whole life.
The man literally gave his arm on the line to not only win, but entertain us with his greatness.
Man you’ve definitely found your calling in life. Your ability to tell a story is second to none. I always appreciate your perspective on things. I can tell you put a lot of thought and effort into every video and it shows. Of all of the UA-cam channels I’ve followed the past 4-5 years yours is the only one my wife can stand to watch with me 🤣
Videos are always amazing! beautiful lessons through short words as always, blessings
Drew needs some more damn respect put onto his name by the media he was and is an amazing thrower of the football and without that arm acting like a ticking time bomb and accomplishing what he did is nothing short of legend status. I wish Drew was able to play football forever loved watching him play as a 9ers fan
MadCrazy respect once again FLR. As a numerous decades long football fanatic, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your always unique, always insightful and always deeply human take and thoughtfully humane breakdowns of the Game, its players and that very specific culture. Thanks!
Excellent presentation Flemlo.... Superlative subject matter and great input and hindsight on the entire segment. Thank you Flemlo and please keep up
Props bro. Been watching you for a while. Your ability to tell a story with no fluff, unbiased is what makes your channel so dope.
I cant imagine the pains he went through and the pains he’s having. I have problems with my right wrist from working on cars. Building house. Cabinets makers whole my life. My dad taught me since i was little kid. He was local race car driver when i was born. Now as 40 years old my right hand isnt working like it used to be. I cant even bend my wirst at all.. nerves would pitch like crazy and dropping things. I couldn’t hold bottle of water with it and I struggling trying to fix. Build things so I stopped using my right hand for past 3 years but drew man. What a legend.
Just wanted to say, great videos! As a european that has lost touch with the game for several years and has gotten back now i dont miss a video! Keep up the good work and hats off!
I've always Respected Drew "Cool" Brees for his play on the field and his Humanity off the field. It's too bad he played durning the Manning/Brady Era. He is vastly underrated and deserves so much more credit and accolades
Drew Brees is the Greatess QB off all time!!!!
Thanks for doing this as a Saints fan. It makes Drew's accomplishments even more astonishing. Especially what we're seeing now with Carr.
People always question the money these guys make. Ask yourself this. How much money would you need if the cost of doing your business is life long debilitating injuries. Some of these guys are classified as disabled just from all the hits they took.
Love the video, keep it rolling dawg!
As a saints fan after that missed call against the Rams was the day I stopped watching the NFL regularly after that I knew the League does have an agenda and does rig games unfourtantely. And its crazy seeing what Drew had to overcome and what he sacrificed for the Saints forever a legend.
Yeah the NFL agenda sucks was rooting against the saints the year the nfl gifted them a Super Bowl because of Katrina 😏
Same
I grew up with Sharrif. Andrews cut a nerve in his leg and ended his career. This actually isn’t as uncommon as you might think in back/knee injuries. The players just usually get blamed for being injury prone. I worked for the eagles for years and I promise you when I say the Dr they had on staff for a few season worked at my high school and misdiagnosed my shoulder as having a torn rotator cuff when I broke my upper arm.
Your depth of thought is unreal. i feel like chatting with you over a couple of beers would be one of the most insightful few hours ever. stay wise man. youre killing it. thanks for the content
This is why you're one of the greats, another meaningful video. You always keep it real!
I just wanted to say that I noticed how much effort you put into your vids. Know that it doesn’t go unappreciated!! Keep it up man!!
FlemLo, you are an amazing story teller. Thanks for the content bro.
Criminally underrated. The most consistent quarterback in NFL history
That missed Rams saints pass interference call is a sign that the NFL really wanted LA and the LA market to get excited about football in my mind. I don't think the NFL goes around rigging games all the time but they surely can in small ways affected one game and get the team they want into a super bowl. The NFL was deserate for LA to be excited about football for the first time since NWA was rocking Raiders gear
Brees was the man, he is a legend amongst any one of us that follow the game, should get more credit from average people and I’m not even a saints fan
Thankyou for this video being from here and knowing how important he is to us. It’s crazy he don’t get more recognition.
I love flemlo stories man …been tuned in for a couple of years now
Keep going brah you’re great
This was an amazing video!
Thank you for such a great video, a lot of food for thought.
40 two-year-old white man here. I enjoy your contact your voice and your flow.
Keep up the good work.
thanks so much for this loving tribute to a great player and man.
I’ve been a fan of this channel for years. Made my day to see myself in a video. Thank you.
My GOAT
One of the best to do it in my opinion his book coming back stronger is great if any of you haven’t read it. I’d recommend it
This is one of the best videos that I've ever seen about football it's deep and makes you really think great job bro we need more shows like this on real networks
Flem you are one of the first UA-camrs I subscribed to. Your ability to tell a complete story as well as make your viewers see each person as a real person is unmatched. Even if I wasn't a sports fan you would have my attention for sure. I don't comment much but I'm always here hitting that like button before we even get into the video. Keep doing your thing we need you in this world.
Agreed!
I’ve actually never seen video of his injury before until now that is crazy, awesome content as always Flem
The Mayor of Who Dat Nation #9⚜️🙏💪🏈📈
Brother, Your videos are beautiful! Thank you!
The greatest of sacrifices require the strongest of wills...
Thank you for this bro because folks really need to give Drew his flowers he set so many records and even in his prime people under-acknowledged his accomplishments.
Should have won several MVPs, but he wasn’t the flashy pick, so he was overlooked. IMO, Drew and Montana are the two greatest to ever lace up cleats.
Drew Brees is statistically the 🐐
That clip of drew in slo-mo is beyond crazy😭😭
Always dope insight and context on these player vids.
Definitely an inspiration of endurance ❤✌️
Amazing episode. Drew is up there with my dad for hero status. He revitalized NOLA and made the entire South proud. Plus, he’s a man of God. Hard to root against him. Thanks Flem.
Man of one thousands of invisible sky men thought up by humans
Flemo you fucking cooked with that whole intro man. Especially seeing Drew Brees injury from a x-ray and knowing that Drew's career could have very well ended right there because of that play, but only if he was a lesser man then who he is. Drew honestly is one of those underrated comeback stories that in a vacuum might not have ever happened if we didn't have the medicine and access to doctors that we have now. Very underrated player in the greatest QBs of all time discussion (top 10 more or less). 🙏
When I went to Mississippi in 2007, I became a fan of Drew. Plus, the fact that he won the Super Bowl is amazing, but not the MVP boggles me. During that time too, he was crushing the Chargers for payback of his right arm. Throwing Left with a guy who is 6' tall is mind blowing too, plus he had the weapons with him, Shockey, Bush, and the defense came correct. He needs to be in the Hall like RN.
Flem makes me appreciate dudes and teams across the entire league. Bro helped me get much deeper into the game and get back into it after a hiatus. Appreciate the work bro - I promise the effort shows. Ain't no one else doing this on this level whatsoever. Be proud dog.
Genuinely one of your best vids
Brees is ABSOLUTELY one of the greatest of all time, & on the short list for best of his era. Because of the Patriots’ rings, so many quarterbacks who were all-time greats like Brees don’t get the credit they earned from media & fans.
Manning changed the way football is played (pre-snap motions by offenses & defenses) exist because we were privileged enough to watch someone who knew the game SO WELL that NFL football is forever changed because of him.
Rodgers is arguably the best passer we’ve ever seen. “But he only has one ring.” Manning forced the entire league to change the way they fundamentally played on both sides of the ball. “Only two rings.” Brees is on that list of “greatest of that era” but again… rings rings rings. What if I told you championships don’t automatically make an individual the “best” in a TEAM sport?
Brady’s of course one of the best of his era as well, but I wouldn’t even call him “goat” of the last 2+ decades. But that opinion is impossible to argue with 99% of NFL fans because all they point to is the rings.
Brady’s career was legendary. Not taking anything away from his skill- the man had ice in his veins. The best postseason QB of all time. What I AM saying is that Brady’s rings diminish the legacy of players like Brees in the minds of the vast majority of media & fans.
Brees put up big stats but was a playoff choker, also similar to Manning as well
He wasn't a very clutch QB
Also dosnt help that the Saints had to basically play dirty to win a Ring
Damn flemlo, you don't miss bro. Fire video.
Great content. You are the best at this. 🤙
Just discovered your channel and immediately subscribed. Incredibly good content.
I’ve always had a deep admiration and respect for Drew Brees and the Saints franchise. My friend was gifted 50 years line seats for a preseason game at Gillette one year between the Pats and saints. We were behind the saints sideline. We yelled for and waved to Drew like maniacs, and he laughed and waved back which we didn’t expect. Good dude. Was nice to both Saints and Pats fans that night.
Yoooo 😂😂flem came on looking like he spent a lil UA-cam check on himself 😂 love it dripped out wit sum light
Brees literally has the most ever 5k yard passing seasons and he never gets the respect he deserves. Its wild
Drew Bree’s was my favorite quarterback growing up, I see a lot of him in Burrow honestly
I was at the game when he broke the passing record. Definitely one of the most underrated and under appreciated players of all time.
Not as underrated as Sandy Beverage
That’s not true man, he’s never been underrated at any point during his career. This is a ridiculous statement. I’ve never met anybody who didn’t rate him and put respect on his name.
Love your videos !
Drew Brees to me is one of the Goats hands down
Great video.. as always flem lo. You are the best at these kinds of story telling. Love your work. Stay Cincy Stong
Thank you for bringing us Saints fan a ship for the first time Drew🙏🏾🥲💯
Drew was and is and forever will be my favorite QB I looked up to him on and off the field the way he handles himself and walks with God is an inspiration and makes me want to be better… Drew understood that the football was only a part of what it means to be a NFL great. WE LOVE YOU DREW ❤⚜️
As always great Video bro🫡
We had it good and some fans didn't realize it till he was gone. Thanks Drew we appreciate everything you have done for the city and the team.
