Understood, but the Dolphins front office was so dysfunctional that it wouldn't have worked out for Brees, and don't forget that we hired CoRch Cam "I drafted the Ted Ginn and His family" Cameron to succeed Saban.
Yeah, I remember having this discussion before, but I don't think Brees would've had the same career under Saban that He had with Payton...Saban was all about running the ball & playing defense.
They also passed on Reggie Wayne the same year...passed on Russell Wilson in 12', Wilson was waaaaaaaay better than Tannehill...and they passed on Lamar Jackson in 18'.
