Check out big brains on Saints, who drew own Brees conclusion

... But listen carefully to Loomis. He's not convinced that Brees was the risk others did. In fact, he's convinced he wasn't.

"We talked to a lot of doctors with experience with this particular injury in baseball," said Loomis, "and basically they felt there was no reason he couldn't come back from it. Now, sometimes players don't recover the full velocity with throws for some time, but the people we talked to gave us every indication he could come back from this
...

Funny, even into September, Saban was still saying it was strictly a medical decision by the Dolphins to pass on Brees.

Loomis shouldn't talk sometimes. Maybe it was more of a gamble but why spew forth that stuff? Just leave that little comment out and the story reads much better.

He's just down-playing it. Same way he has with drafting Colston. I prefer his approach than someone coming across as an arrogant "I knew it all along" blowhard.
