Dude that fires me the heck up!! I’m at a loss for words, that’s just incredible. Insane actually! I’m sure the NFL.com won’t have the balls to post anything about this even though it’s incredibly significant. We Coming For Y’all!! Who Dat!

Falcons fans after finding out Drew Brees is throwing a football, after sustaining another career ending injury 2.5 weeks ago....

I do therapy for a living. The fact that he’s throwing a nerf or smaller ball might be planned. The weight of a regulation or bigger ball isn’t that big of a deal, in fact the weight shouldn’t be an issue at all. It’s the gripping he’s working on, so a smaller ball should be harder to grip and hold. So that might be part of his therapy. The fact he’s using a smaller ball shows his gripping is farther along then what it would be with a regulation ball.

I was thinking this when I heard he threw a nerf ball at his doctor. Meaning that thumb has to range inward more than on a regulation NFL ball.

Even though the screen is small on my phone I could clearly see the fire and determination in his eyes. I don't think the N.F.L will want to deal with him whatsoever or his nicely rested arm.

I'm mixed on this. I like that he is throwing but wish the release had come after the game. I want Teddy to be focused and confident and not looking behind his back. Feels a bit tone deaf and not team-centric to me.

Reporter: "drew brees tweeted a video of him throwing a football this early in his recovery. What are your thoughts on how hes coming along so fast?"

Sean: "well, he has an arm."

Please... be careful, Drew!

Probably need a thread merge.

Until his return, Teddy has the keys and the Saints are rolling, so.....

And now at 40+ he's going to throw a tighter spiral that slices through the elements and exercises the outdoor winter game demons with his bionic thumb.

Hell yeah! I can't wait.

He looks like he has lost some arm strength....

I don’t know if I’d say they’re “rolling.” I’d say they’re barely squeaking by thanks to defense and special teams. Having Drew back would be a huge boost.

This team is not limited to how well Drew Brees plays, I get that he's the franchise all time player but this is a talented roster coached by a potential hall of fame coach....with or without Brees.
